NEW ALBUM: Deep Purple "whoosh!"

[Jerome]

I listened to this today CH and I have to say their earlier stuff was more creative. It's not bad for an ageing band and Gillan's vocals are pretty good but they've had their day and it's not really breaking any new ground. But the songs are quite good with that familiar DP riff/vibe going on. And that is my problem with it. They are just songs. Gone are the days when they experimented with unusual forms and extended instrumentals. I suppose I have just moved on from that. I like it but it isn't something I would go out and buy. Too formulaic.
