Now this is pretty funny.

This is the only other Deep Purple album I have listened to, the other being Machine Head, and I must say it is far superior. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it is a flawless example of Deep Purple's surprisingly incredible talent- Ian Gillan's batshit insane vocals, creative guitar parts from the equally batshit insane Ritchie Blackmore, and, of course, the supremely underrated keyboardist Jon Lord. All these elements come together perfectly into this absolutely mental experience. It also goes to show how underrated the band is as nobody really knows them outside of the funny water smoke song.

I have to admit something. I'm pretending to be serious. I don't really have much to say about this album, but I could probably give more extreme praise if I forced it out. The album is good, quite good. The musicians are great, the vocals are funny, the songs are consistently good, I like the album. But like I said, I wouldn't call it amazing.

In short, Deep Purple is pretty underrated and this is probably their best album though i have not listened to Burn yet and i cba to listen to their other stuff.

lol.
