SINCE YOU BEEN GONE

1 Tarot Woman the intro, yes this disturbing intro, where is the hard? no it's not Juvet but still you remember, space synth, a cinematic tape before its time... and the impression of having something other than noise... what who said prog metal, not me... it would be known; good the riff arrives, your hobbies, your hobbies, the drums, let's go phew, I started to see the proguy fire his cutie... Idon't know; the hard rock title, one of the first albums which will make the DEEP PURPLE forget a little by deploying the Blackmore missile on a rainbow ... multicolored and multi-musical; a thundering solo 2 Run With The Wolf with a nervous, rhythmic but calm title, one of those where the guitar seems to drift on a harmonica sound; good voice, Ronnie at the top of his game, here I see the incredible 'love is all' again, Cozy who puts the bass on so as not to forget himself, a rainbow there, not just a comet 3 Starstruck continues on a boogie rock, a conventional rock, finally a hard rock at the time of its publication; its held by the riff and the vocals, such was the motto; the spleen solo break, with tortured notes, takes you higher and leaves you speechless in front of so much ease; good hard well calibrated that's all 4 Do You Close Your Eyes to the AC/DC intro long before, a nasty riff, a Bon vocal and the guitar of Angus uh from Ritchie doing the job, with some bluesy notes from behind 5 Stargazer and the B side, let's get up to change the LP, the K7 it's up to you, knowing that with the K7 it was blowing a little too much, yes Dolby Pro didn't exist yet... well we would forget this symphonic, orchestral flight, yes I insist on orchestral because this title is a snub to music in general; a long title, a crescendical rise which will ogle on the 'Kashmir' would it have had a pump? short bombastic, ready to put in a trance; the melodic title which does not look like much but which could take you to the firmament and leave you there, the title with final orchestration, stunning for vulgurus hardus, short avant-garde in its time. 6 A Light In The Black and the 2nd, still 8 minutes it raises questions especially considering the intro... without intro... we are already inside; Cozy beats on everything that moves, Ronnie yells everything he can and Tony, not one-armed in himself, shows that he must also be reckoned with in the group; OK Ritchie shifts into 3rd gear and launches a solo, look, imagine, his head yes you see it moving, that's it you're in a trance, OK he calms down and harangues the protruding man who has started nodding his head , yes there is hard prog in there, not only 'prog related' term that always makes me laugh; good 6 minutes and Ronnie comes back, what but I didn't hear Ritchie or Tony damn it then... unless I myself went into a trance! End of course! A possibility to get up and put the teppaz back on the start...

Well what can I say, it was very good for the time, it was exciting, it was innovative, it was intoxicating, it was... just RAINBOW and it is indeed a standard value these days which has used to mold the prog metal drawer, to mix it in the progressive cauldron to release these notes often pulled up in concert, to awaken the filthy beast that lies dormant in you, come on, don't hide behind an excuse. A 4.5!
