Who Do We Think We Are [Remastered] - Deep Purple

Advantages: Great mixture of songs
Disadvantages: burn should have been live

...When searching through the rock albums on ciao i was quite surprised to find this cd had only one review.This particular album has been with me since 1980 and gives me very fond memories of my childhood beginnings into music of this genre. A present from my grandma at the age of 12 and my first vinyl to play on my little record player that later played a major part in the ruin of many albums.Thank god we have come along way since then for i would probably still be replacing the stylus with a bent pin..(we all did it) I think i heard the song Black Night on radio Luxembourg as a kid and it just sounded so good with its mix of lyrics,drums,bass,keyboards and lead guitar.Deep purple as a sixties and seventies rock band prided themselves on music that involved the whole band which is rare these days.

Advantages: Another brilliant British prog rock album
Disadvantages: none whatsoever

...First released in 1971, Fireball was the follow up to "In Rock" and is seen as part two of a trilogy of classic British progressive rock albums from Deep Purple, sandwiched between 1970's In Rock and 1972's Machine Head.

Coldplay fans there's the door, you ain't invited to this party. This is the hallowed Mark II line up of the two Ians, (Paice and Gillan), Richie Blackmore, Jon Lord and Roger Glover. All equally brilliant musicians, unfortunately soon the egos would take over and the band would split into two camps, leading to their eventual self-destruction after 1973's Who Do We Think We Are, a very good album but not quite up...

Advantages: Every second of it.
Disadvantages: ---

...Roughly counted my music collection consists of 3500 recordings –2600 Cds and the rest in the format of glorious vynil-. You always have some favourite disc and in my case the one I’ve listened to the most is Deep Purple’s “Made In Japan”. Don’t ask me why, but contrary to others, the more I listen to this masterpiece the more I like it. A BIT OF HISTORY Some rock’n’roll critics credit the origin of what we know today as heavy metal to Black Sabbath, Led Zep and Deep Purple. As it would be downright useless to argue this we’ll take it as a true basis for convenience sake –though I have my own ideas about it-. Whathever, Deep Purple was one of the most influential bands in the history of hard rock, no doubt about it. In my humble opinion the best and probably never unsurpassable period of both quality and power spanned from “In Rock... Read review
