I definitely had a lot of fun with this one. This is a new style of content for me, so definitely let me know if you hate it! = 1 Is Deep purple's 23 studio album. Including songs like Lazy Sod, Pictures of you, and Portable door. I found myself enjoying a lot of the musicianship on display, but couldn't help feeling a little underwhelmed in places, given that Deep Purple disregarded as potentially the best band ever. After my reaction video, I received a bunch of comments letting me know I'm an absolute fool for thinking that there's been good music made in the last 20 years. So let's see if Deep Purple can change my mind.
I also realise that this does feel very derivative of the needle drop by Anthony fantano, but without irony, he's been a big influence on me as a creator. So if I get accused of sounding like him, I count that as a success!

Deep purple were the first band I listened to in the 70s that grabbed my attention. That =1 feels as fresh now as what they did back then is amazing. Your review is totally fair, I am so glad that the oldies can still produce the goods today thay remind you of the roots.

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! I definitely agree. Perhaps that's the main reason I don't think the best music is behind us, because those musicians are still delivering hit after hit!

@alketkellici6766 Месяц назад

Totally disagree about “ wearing thin” keyboard solos. That is Deep Purple buddy their signature!! I don’t agree with you at all about the lyrics and if you look at that Gillan’s history and work ,they are a tongue in cheek and funny and they are working here as they have that snarky vibe

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

I definitely agree that in retrospect that tongue and cheek vibe comes through wonderfully. That's very much my personal bias as a guitarist/instrumentalist who just happens to do some vocals. Like I said, super up to personal preference whether or not they solos will be too much for people. I know I get called out for over long guitar solos.

@westerling8436 Месяц назад

Their last album Whoosh was their highest charting in decades I think, so I wouldn't call it a comeback, they've realeased 4 albums in ten years and have been touring almost constantly

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

@@westerling8436 i definitely agree. It's more that I consider it a return to the public consciousness. Keep in mind, most of their fans are over 50. So they don't exactly market themselves to Gen Z and millennials. Even though I think they should. Like I mentioned in the review. I don't live somewhere where bands like that generally tour. Or I've just missed them the last time they played in South Africa. But mostly bands like that do UK, US, Canada, Australia, and maybe, and that's a big maybe, one date in countries like SA. I don't blame them at all, you tour where the tickets will sell.

great, another comeback album from Deep Purple. I have like fifteen of them on LP or CD. 😂

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

@@arto2533 That's probably one of the funniest comments I've ever gotten. I'm reminded of that Phill Collins tour "finally, the first fairwell tour"

@arto2533 Месяц назад

@@PeterCleff I like a fair few of these legacy bands, whose new record is ALWAYS the best thing since (insert an album that tells you exactly how old you are). Mind you, I really dig the new one. but also still dig Now What?, inFinite and Whoosh, too. A couple of unnecessary fillers in there, sure, but nothing that needs skipping, IMO.

@@mtfirn haha! Thank you so much! I appreciate it🤣🙏The first note I wrote about the album I remember thinking "am I even allowed to say anything accept praise?". I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

@alketkellici6766 Месяц назад

I feel if they shaved off 2-3 songs would have been perfect. Bob Ezrin could’ve let the band go a bit longer on the jammin.

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

There's a quote about writing that's been a huge influence on me. Something like "once you've written your story, force yourself to try and tell it again with half the pages". It's not always the best route, but I feel most artists would do well to ask themselves, "does this need to be here?" Will the song be just as good without the solo, or the last verse. And if so, why is it there?

@eirikasbjrnberg8753 Месяц назад

Most of their efforts , also the last 20 years have been consistently good , and some songs great . It is rock and roll, not progressive rock , but very impressive compared to other “old band”which either do not record new material or sound like hair metal ( Uriah Heep). I do not think the new album is better than many of the other album they made as it misses the epic classical part which I like . Buit still very impressive. I do not like bands with three guitars or more who plays the same to impress. So that explain why this is more for me

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

I completely agree. Rock and Roll as a term feels very broad for me. I thnk of it more as an umbrella term that covers everything from rock to metal. I also agree, a lot of legacy acts sound like they're trying too hard when they do new stuff. As I've been going back to some of their older work, I have been enjoying the slightly more clasical vibe. I keep recommending the band Periphery to people, but particularly the song Marigold and the song Wax Wings. If you like rock/metal with classical vibes. Worth checking out.

@MrMusic193 Месяц назад

You know what deep purple has never went away so this is not a comeback. They’re just a much high classier band than a lot of the crap that’s out there right now.

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

Bold statements, do you have any particular examples of "crap out there"? Because I think it's important to compare apples to apples.

@michaeltootill4151 Месяц назад

Lead guitarist Simon McBride is 45 please. Do your research

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

@@michaeltootill4151 i appreciate the comment. I had the bands ages and names more than once in my notes. But forgot them the second I hit record. The least I could have done it include it in the edit. Thanks

@sabbaseleftheriadis5601 Месяц назад

Nice review :) To me this is their best in 30+ years, since at least "The Battle Rages On" or even more, because I've had decades to replay a Deep Purple song in my head, I mean, for days! Literally, most of the album's songs could be released as singles or simply be songs of their 70s albums, tune down production and you're there. Perhaps this is even on the same league of Perfect Strangers and Stormbringer, which is insane. Don't fool yourself by other comments, comparing this with their late period albums like "Now What" or "Purplendicular" etc. This one stomps them big time.

@PeterCleff Месяц назад

@@sabbaseleftheriadis5601 I'm glad to hear that sentiment shared. Since filming the review I've gone and done a bit of a deep dive in some of their earlier work, and I definitely find myself enjoying this album more and more as I compare it. Which is great. I always aim for my most recent work to be my best. And I'm glad when legends like these can do that too!

@alketkellici6766 Месяц назад

Perpendicular is untouched and one of the best they have done past Blackmore . Now what is fantastic as well
