Anyone else share my opinion that some of these later Deep Purple albums have been most excellent?

Well, Deep Purple hasn't released a masterpiece like this since 'Burn' the album.

I purchased this album and its impressive considering the age of the musicians, Deep Purple has always been a powerhouse in my opinion.

I got big in to Deep purple when Kula Shaker done that cover of 'Hush'

Will be buying it, and adding it to all the other Purple CDs.
No bad albums in their discography

Your final "stay safe" (it's a horrible saying) just about sums up non-Blackmore Purple. Comparing this album favourably to In Rock or Fireball – or any of those Blackmore efforts – baffles me.
Without Ritchie, it just ain't Purple.

The Deep Purple sound was and always is Jon+Ritchie. Both are missing here. For different reasons.

Apart from Arrogant Boy and Diablo this album is yet another post Come Taste The Band purple album that fails miserably.

Got my copy today, gonna put it on in the car as Deep Purple has always been driving music. one thing though, do you think that the album sleeve has Pink Floyd look and design about it if you covered the DP name ?

Fantastic album! Yearlist material…

Always been impressed by the amount of melody in Purple's music. Many rock bands fail to recognise the need for it.

Many thanks for that wonderful review my first album by Deep Purple was on vinyl and it was with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra over 50 years ago 👍

Great Album by a great band & I give it a 10 out of 10.

This band has no right to be creating music of this calibre and energy at this stage in their career. Unlike contemporise such as Yes, Jethro Tull and Robin Trower who are producing 'lite' versions of themselves Deep Purple are still pushing the envelope. However great respect to those aforementioned artists who release new material and don't rely on trading on past glories with ridiculously high ticket prices (hello The Eagles). Just heard a podcast with Roger Glover who subtly gave the impression that he would have liked the band to stretch out a bit more in this album to which i concur especially as Ian Gillan has stated in the past the band are essentially an instrumental outfit. Aside this mini gripe it is a superb addition to this band's catalogue.

I've grown up with the Purps and they never sease to have something fresh to say to me, another one for my collection, looking forward to picking my copy up and getting back on the (painted?) horse…

Upon first listen, this album seemed a bit weaker than the previous one. I need to listen to it a few more times to really judge it.

Like Purple, your reviews just get better and better. You crack me up mate! Can't wait to get this release. I'm in my 60s and have followed Purple for a very long time!

The name Splat came from Gillan as a bookend to Whoosh ….. Whoosh —-> SPLAT

I love deep purple great band but i would really like you to talk about Rammstein another favourite band of mine

Quite possibly the best album since Perfect Strangers and dare I say, Machine Head.

Just got the email that my pre-order is ready to pick up; here’s hoping the hype is real.

I’m extremely happy to learn that this magnificent band, in every iteration, has brought out yet another banger. They really deserve to be in or on the Mt Rushmore of hard rock greats – together with Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep. Making the world a better place 🙂

Awful album. Second worst album of their career (after that album of covers from a few years ago). Oh, they sound fine. They can still play, but there isn't a single interesting song here. Nothing I'd ever care to hear again. And one thing Purple never was, was boring. Until now.

Love your work, Great review! I ordered my copy along with a DP jacket and TShirt some time ago. Can’t wait for it to arrive in NZ.

@classicrockriffsandotherbi7737
July 4, 2026 at 1:50 pm
After the first listen, I must say that as unpopular as my opinion may be, I don’t care for it. =1 for me is better. That’s not to say that the musicality and even Gillian’s voice isn’t good, it’s just that nothing other than maybe three tracks, grabs me. Arrogant Boy is great.

Poor album overall. The songs and power just aren’t there. Ezrin’s production again is bad

Richie's wife is indeed quite lovely. I wonder what she saw in the millionaire rock star Ritchie Blackmore. But never mind that – I am very much looking forward to getting this in the post!

Turning To Crime was a misstep, but gotta give them credit for forging ahead and not coasting on laurels.
@donjohns4878
July 4, 2026 at 1:50 pm
I prefer their early stuff. In rock, Fireball, machine head, burn, stormbringer, come taste the band and made in Japan. That’s all I want and need from DP. Cheers.
