Wow, I had forgotten that even Deep Purple and David Coverdale could lay a massive egg. This disc is horrible. If one needs an example of Deep Purple, nearly any other album will do a much more accurate representation. Not that this is not the original band in "Coverdale" form, they just seem to have gotten full of themselves and dropped this goose egg into the listener's birthday cake. This sounds like an overly-orchestrated attempt to sell out, put out the 'pop'. Coverdale is not to blame as is easily heard on the "Burn" disc, "Stormbringer" has no direction and is executed without conviction. The production quality is just as uneven. A track-by-track analysis is not possible as one track will poison an attitude for any other track. Just don't.
