I found one weakness of the album: Vincent Price is too short. What a song this is! Just brilliant.





Right, but th'at's OK to me. The one I really feel is too short is Simple Song. There was room to make it even bigger, Fools style in a way. Still, it's a brilliant track !! As is the whole record for me.

The only two lower slightly less good tracks are body line, but what a groove, so that's OK, and Après vous, but the break with guitar and keyboard exchanges is great as well, so in the end not a single bad or average track !

Re: ?!


I'm speechless!

This such a GREAT ALBUM!

I never thought (having heard the singles) it would be that good.

There are a couple of songs that I feel are too short as well, but, you know...

And the prod, just awesome!

THANK YOU dP, THANK YOU BOB!

Re: ?!


Fully agree with statements that couple of songs are cut short unnecesary.

In particular Simple Song, Uncommon Man, and Vincent Price.

From what I read from Steve and Gillan interviews there is often artistic fight between them. Steve and Airey goes into more progressive complicated stuff and Gillan is into more simple stuff. It is evident in Above and Beyond that they have different styles. Apres Voux starts in great super dynamic progresive way, to be soon followed by quite standart abandon type of song and then chainging into progressive solo types. Morse said that madness type ending of apres voux was refused by Gillan.



Anyway polish biggest rock magazine Teraz Rock gave it raving review with 4,5/5 as an album of the month. There is also interesting interiew with Gillan and Paice. And on the question if it DP last album Gillan says confidently no - saying they will record with Ezrin next year. He cites Ezrin saying that when they started recording he thought it is going to be the last Deep Purple album but when we finished he was sure it was not the last one.

Weakest track is the cover bonus completely out of context. Gillan said it was Ear music idea to have cover so they recorded but do not care for the song.

Do we have here Germans who bought album in Media Markt with extra track First Sign of Madness.

I think that some songs feels short because there's a real feel of "Live" in this album.
It's incredible how Ezrin managed to get that in the studio.

For me it is Above and Beyond that should have gone into a much longer guitar solo at the end.

I bought my cd and Lp at a Media Markt in Belgium but didn't get any key for an extra track.
Seems like MMarkt is really keeping it for the German market emoticon

Anyway, what an album! Just incredible. I've been listening to it since 19.00pm and it's now almost midnight emoticon

Vincent Price ends a bit early. But the rest I think ends naturally. Better than lasting too long..emoticon

Edit: Simple Song could have another minute, too..
So; true some of the tracks ends a bit abruptly..

But: This is a really good album!

Re: ?!


BTW, somebody asked earlier who signed the songs, and it's actually signed by the band AND Bob Ezrin.

Listening to it for the first time right now.
Hard to find where to start.
The production is finally great. It took them a few years to understand but they finally got it right.
The songwriting is adventurous, willing to explore the light and shade of their musical identity.
I'm so proud of them.
I have to stop now: Above and beyond is going somewhere unexpected...

Re: ?!


Just listened to the album straight through there and its MUCH BETTER than I ever expected emoticon.There are bits of everything in this album some proggy stuff ,some MK1 type stuff and some typical Morse era stuff.Gillan does a great job here as does Don emoticon.Favourite tracks so far are Simple Song,Above and Beyond,Blood From A Stone and All The Time In The World,my only criticism so far is THAT Steve solo is still very present at times emoticon but hey thats a minor criticism on a job well done by the old guys emoticon .This album will be on my playlist for a long time to come emoticon. On first listen its not an all time DP classic what I mean by that is that it doesnt rank up there with the classic 70s albums or indeed PS and HOBL but its by far the best Morse era album since Purpendicular.Great job guys emoticon
