RAPTURE OF THE DEEP

Deep purple have been around so many years now,and its good to see them continually releasing new material.The only problem i find with alot of their work since perfect strangers is the obvious lack of real power and originallity in their material,it should be better,and i wish it was because deep purple are one of the best rock acts of all time. I believe deep purple have lost that typical english heavy rock sound and turned more to a bluesy sound,which is a let down because it can sound weak and lame.

Rapture of the deep,is an okay album,i just wish it was alot more powerful and less bluesy,the only track i find really dreadful is Money talks,the lyric's are totally awful and areal turn off.The production of this is nothing great either it's a liitle on the rough side,but the rest is pretty fair but nothing special,its all mediocre.

I hope one day deep purple come up with an album of blistering power,typical of years ago which would be classic english progressive heavy rock,instead of the bluesy rock sound which they have been pumping out over recent years.Maybe they should give Morse the flick and replace him with the obvious choice Yngwie Malmsteen.
