Nothing wrong with either Cochran or Kotzev but their style isn't distinctive. Now, if it was John Sykes...nondisclosed_email@example.com (SixtyNine)Wed, 05 Aug 2015 06:25:05 +0000 Rated Xhttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p484962,from=rss#post484962https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p484962,from=rss#post484962I played the album once. I was doing stuff at the same time, so I didn't concentrate in it. Still, it sounds like a good album. The only let down is the constant lead guitar twiddling (ironically, there are very good solos, but song intros and outros are peppered with boring licks - why not think of something meaningful, melodic, to play?). JLT sounds great, and I thought the drums do too. Rest okay, nothing wrong, nothing spectacular. Production is solid. Mixer (but not producer) is Pat Regan btw.   There are more catchy songs towards the end of the album, the start has that hard rock by the numbers feel to it. A song called Devil in Disguise has a nice instrumental section in the middle. So these are my impressions after the first listen.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Rezi)Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:48:08 +0000
