Re:
I'm worried as well. Several posts discussing Mk Morse, and almost no mention of the other guitarist. I say, now what??
It's difficult to range the albums. A top twenty song list would include some from every album. Judging from overall impression, I would say something like this:
1 Now What
2 Purpendicular
3 Infinite
4 Abandon
5 Rapture Of The Deep
6 Bananas

Re:
Corona or whatever hasn't changed my view on the Morse era albums. For me, the only one which stands out is Now What?! But this one really stands out. To my ears it's the best DP album since Perfect Strangers and the most progressive one since Burn. Songwriting wise I consider it being by far the best DP sine Blackmore album, with Airey continuing the legacy of Blackmore, Glover and Coverdale.
Judging from the snippets which could be heard from the upcoming album, it seems that this won't come close to NW for me.
So no list from me, sorry to those for whom it's all about lists.

This wont be the case, because virus is causing losing the taste. His taste got actually better and more sensitive. He finally discovered the quality of MkMorse albums which opens him a brand new world!
Some things never change mate your still a patronising opinionated twat
Whole new world you say ? GTF!!! Ive been listening to DP and hard rock and Heavy metal since long before you were born.
All i said was that i have an appreciation for MK Morse DP now that i perhaps didn't have before.
Its not a life changing revelation mate
I still have the same opinion on SM ie Brilliant guitarist but very unimaginative much of the time when it comes to solos in DP,some awesome stuff for sure,but also a lot of dull repetitive stuff too.
Although i do enjoy SMs take on some of the classics eg Fools,WABMC and POH,having said that I still think MK Morse are light years behind Blackmore/Lord driven DP and that will NEVER change .

Re:
I don't know what order I wod rate the MK Morse albums.
Purpendicular certainly is a 75% great album.
NW maybe 50%, Infinite 40%.
Abandon less, and Bananas and ROTD are bottom of the pile.
Certainly P and NW could have been even better if they were 45-50 minute albums. Nothing could save ROTD.

It was just a friendly funny poke - I tried to make it obvious by smiles, but it didnt work obviously. Sad.

Re: rediscovering MK Morse DP
I would rank Bananas, Rapture and Purpendicular as the top three MKMorse albums. I enjoy Purp just a wee bit over the others, but I think that those two are just as good or better. I'll drop down a bit for Now What, Abandon and Infinite. I like Now What in a close one over Abandon and Infinite with those two on about the same level. I think Abandon could have been shortened up somewhat and maybe it would be up there with my top picks.
Either way, Purpendicular because it was fresh and new and Bananas and Rapture because I think that they had solidified as a band. Those two albums were solid start to finish.

It seems I misunderstood you and that you were actually joking in which case I apologise ptr.
My only excuse is that given our rather colourful history on this forum its not too much of a stretch to have taken what you said out of context.
Just a wee hint from an ageing scotsman though, if you make a statement and somebody picks you up the wrong way,then generally you would apologise and explain what you actually meant to say,you most certainly wouldn't end your explanation with a dig at that person by saying "Sad"!

Hey fdr hope all is well with you too 👍
Finding this situation difficult like many are throughout the globe .Worst part for me is that both my wife and I are working as normal but we have all these restrictions on our home lives 😡 Cant visit my kids or grandkids and my wife works in the community so that's a worry too. Bizzare thing is the whole uk is supposed to be in lockdown but currently 15000 people landing at airports here every day with no testing or quarantine ?? Dont know what is actually going on but it seems to me like a huge social control experiment?? Many conspiracy theories but this is not really the place to discuss such things.Stay safe everyone even you ptr 👍😃
