5 stars The mugiente pyrotechnics in the six cords with demolishers riffs of Ritchie Blackmore, the classic organ of impronta of Jon Lord, the rythmical vigor granted by the pair Roger Glover/Ian Paice, next to the vociferous and mighty vocal capacity of Ian Gillan, in one sinergia sonorous shrunk of influences like LED Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix or Cream, makes one of summits in the race of the British group Deep Purple, "In Rock", a Lp initiated with a apabullante tribute to Little Richard, "Speed King", that moves away them of its psicodélicos beginnings and progressive and it means them like one of the essential foundations of the hard-rock and heavy metal. Urging and propagating in amplified shocks the blues-rock of the 60 end of and classic rock'n'roll in ways of fibrous distortion, the British band composes for this disc, first with the singer Ian Gillan in its rows, some of the best pieces of its race, like the antiwarlike lyricism of the spectacular and épica "Child in Time", a subject with pieces gospel that presents/displays to a aullante Gillan, hamaqueado by a hipnótica instrumental association (specially in the keyboards) and absorbent single of Blackmore and Lord, resulted with magnificiencia in many passages of this great album, in special in another one of the best pieces of the disc, "Flight of the rat", that also counts on an exceptional work in the battery of Ian Paice. Indelible and forceful riffs of "Bloodsucker" or "Into the fire", the rugiente and lacerante organ of the sarcastic "Living Wreck" or the mesmerizante I release the brakes and sonorous delirium of "Hard Lovin' Man" is other fragments of a truely exceptional disc within their sort.
