Well damn, with a name like Slaves and Masters, how can you possibly go wrong?

With only two choices, proper grammar dictates, "Which one is the better one?"

If there were three or more choices, you could ask, "Which one is best?"

BTW, the answer is that 'Abandon' blows, and the best DP album is 'In Concert 1970/1972.'

(Two weeks 'til what's left of DP at Radio City.)

Abandon is by far the DP album that has impressed me the least.
Thus I'm going to vote for Slaves and Masters, although it isn't much of an effort.
(it has its moments, though: King of dreams, Wicked ways, Love hurts and Fire in the basement are very good IMHO, and Joe Lynn Turner is a fine singer, though Gillan and most of all Coverdale are far better)

By the way, my favourite DP album is Stormbringer (on with the boos), followed by the Fireball and Burn pair
A flower?

Slaves and Masters, solely because Blackmore plays on it.
 
Purple without Ritchie? Don't be daft!

I've never been a huge fan of Mr. Blackmore...in my opinion he's largely overrated as a player (he has a tendency to hit flat notes...) so his replacement with Steve Morse has never given me any problem at all.

However, being Jon Lord my favourite keyboards player, I feared that his absence on the last two recordings would have disappointed me...well, as a matter of fact it did not!
Don Airey is a very good performers and the albums are surprisingly good!

Keep up the good work, guys!

Blackmore over-rated? By whom? As for the "flat-note" thing.......well, I'm stunned. Blackmore is streets ahead of any other player of his genre, some examples that spring to mind would include No No No (Fireball), Lazy (Machine Head), the solos from A200 (Burn) & Hold On (Stormbringer), or, the sublime Gates of Babylon (Rainbow - Long Live Rock n Roll)
Whilst Don Airey may well be a good keyboard player, he's not in Lords league. Mr Lord is the King of Hammond.

Choosing an album between these 2 is like choosing between UNION and TORMATO from YES.Big%20smile
 
But i think ABANDON is definitely the worst  DP album ever.
I like KING OF DREAMS and a few more on SLAVES AND MASTERS
 
Yes the last 2 are quite good!

The question should be re-phrased into "Which Is The Worse DP album", but I admit than even so it would be difficult to answer that question.

Here are some excerpts of my reviews for these albums (I have reviewed around 35 DP albums) :
 
About Slaves And Masters : "This is the Purple worst release. Stay away form this one. A single star."
 
About Abandon : "In "Abandon", there are eleven prog moments. Each break between the numbers. Between them, awful heavy metal songs (not even hard rock) for the huge majority of the tracks". "This "work" is only equalled by the infamous "Slaves & Masters". Same crap, same rating : one star.
 
I guess you had the idea.
 
Cheers.

I think  DP is overrated  because  all albums has some good track ( and some masterpiece)  but the whole album is not quality consistent 
 On the other hand, their career were not lineal so that impact theri music...egos, egos  before the band Wink

    I have to go with Abandon. i like this album mainly because i like Steve Morse's and Jon Lord's work here. And obviously I prefer Gillan to JL Turner. Anyday.
