The beginning of a new era.......2005-06-23

Burn (1974.) Deep Purple's eighth album.

Following the release of Deep Purple's seventh studio album, 1973's Who Do We Think We Are, legendary vocalist Ian Gillan left the group (he left to form his OWN band, not Black Sabbath, contrary to popular belief. There's a TEN YEAR GAP between his leaving Purple and joining Sabbath, people!) When a lead vocalist leaves a group he made popular, usually the results are a disaster. In Deep Purple, that wasn't necessarily the case, though. A young man named David Coverdale became Gillan's replacement. Though Coverdale originally wanted to be an artist (and I mean one who draws stuff, not a RECORDING artist), he really shines as a vocalist. The band also got a new bassist, Glenn Hughes. He would be more involved on vocals than the band's previous bassists, and this would prove to be a good thing. Enough introductions. Read on for my review of Burn.

I (and many other Deep Purple fans) thought that the departure of Ian Gillan from Deep Purple would be a disaster. Burn proved me wrong! This is classic DP at its best. The title track kicks off the album. It opens with a fast and furious guitar assault on the senses courtesy of Mr. Ritchie Blackmore. David Coverdale doesn't waste any time shelling out good vocals. The keyboard/organ usage here is excellent, making this a quintessential Deep Purple masterpiece. Might Just Take Your Life, track number two, is my favorite song on the album. Here the band emphasizes a blusier sound than the Gillan-era incarnation of the band did, but they also use keyboards heavily. Mix this with David's vocals, and what's the end result? Pure Deep Purple excellence. Lay Down, Stay Down is probably the blusiest song on the album, and that's saying a lot, since this album is a good deal more blues-based than the Gillan-era Deep Purple albums. Davis's lyrics are the main draw here. Of all the tracks on the album, this one sounds more like his future Whitesnake days than any other, but it still sounds quite different. Another good song. Sail Away is an interesting little rocker. The band is in its prime here, no question. The fusion of hard rock with more melodic stylings makes this one of the album's best tracks. It's a masterpiece among masterpieces. You Fool No One is a rocker with a bit more of an "epic" sound to it than the others on the album. Once again, the star attraction of the track is David's vocals. What's Goin' on Here is another excellent rocker. Like so many other tracks on the album, this one features the band in its prime. It stands as solid proof that the David Coverdale era of Deep Purple is SEVERELY underrated. Mistreated was the biggest hit to emerge from this album next to the title track. Here Ritchie plays some damn good guitar riffs (which should come as no surprise if you're a Deep Purple fan.) It's over seven minutes long, meaning it and the title track are the longest cuts here. DO NOT SKIP THIS TRACK FOR ANY REASON - DOING SO IS A SIN! The band closes with a very strange track - an instrumental called "A" 200 in which futuristic-sounding keyboards are used heavily. These are played along with Ritchie's guitars, and oddly enough, the end result is GREAT! I really don't think they could have closed the album better. All in all, an awesome album.

This album got the deluxe treatment many other Deep Purple albums have gotten, and the deluxe versions has finally gotten an American release! The import of this was ridiculously overpriced, but now finally, you can get it for a decent price! If you don't own the album yet, get the remaster. If you've got it already, don't buy it again unless you really want the bonuses.

As many other reviewers have stated, this IS the best Deep Purple album to feature David Coverdale on lead vocals. The sound may be a little different from the Gillan-era songs you're used to, but ultimately they make this a very good album. It's more than worthy of Amazon's highest possible product rating of five stars. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANY FAN OF CLASSIC HARD ROCK.
