Album Notes & Community Reviews

As the legendary 'Mark II' lineup fractured under the weight of exhaustion and intense infighting, Deep Purple managed to deliver one final, surprisingly resilient studio effort. Highlighted by the soaring groove of 'Woman from Tokyo', 'Who Do We Think We Are' is a fiercely energetic, wonderfully melodic hard rock album bursting with highly rhythmic, playful blues-rock power.
