LLRNR
Am I the only one on this site that doesn't like this album? I recently put it on during my workout and I still find it boring. The first 2 Rainbow albums plus DTE are my favorite Rainbow albums but I still find LLRNR boring. Many rate GOB as one of RB's best songs. I sure don't. To me, the best song is "Kill the King" but I first heard it on the Live album and that version beats this version. Call me stupid if you like.

I won't call you stupid but for sure it's a strange opinion to have about it. I'd agree it's not a perfect masterpiece but the highlights are some of the best moments in the whole of Ritchie's career, I think. But then what do I know.

Re: LLRNR
I think its a very good but not great album its a drop from Rising but then what isn't ??
There are no tracks that i don't like, but KTK suffers when compared to the live version and Rainbow Eyes is nice but gets a bit dare i say boring, due to being overly long IMHO.
GOB is an absolute all time Blackmore classic

Re:
If there wouldn't have been Rising, much more people would love it. Comparisons can destroy a lot. For me, Gates Of Babylon alone was worth making it.

Re: LLRNR
Ok, what‘s the main difference to the other early albums? There are almost no keyboards present, no Hammond solos, ... The compositions are quite ok, I think. But the title track is maybe the first trial to land a true hit. Didn‘t like the song. Stargazer was erased from the setlist to play this shoeshine boogie.
