From: Kabubala Date: November 30, 2001 at 17:28
This is the best album from the original line-up. "The Shield" is the one song from Mk. 1 that can stand with material from the later Purple marks. Overall, a very solid release. But this is far from being in the same league as PURPENDICULAR, IN ROCK, MADE IN JAPAN, or PERFECT STRANGERS.

From: Gar Date: February 6, 2003 at 23:48
I've always loved this album. No, its not metal like the Gillan era. Or bluesy like the Coverdale era. This one has an almost medieval feel throughout(even the cover songs). This album definitely isn't for everyone, but if you like epic songs and swirling keyboards give this one a try.

Too dated for me but I felt I just had to have it for two reasons: Complete the essential collection, and Support these dudes in any way possible.

From: johnk5150 Date: December 18, 2007 at 9:28
My favorite record before the sound change by a mile. Love Evans' smooth vocal and the jams are jam-tastic.

From: ghettonation73 Date: December 16, 2015 at 14:19
My second favorite 70's band, behind the one and only Black Sabbath.

From: hair metal again Date: March 21, 2020 at 14:05
ok release for DEEP PURPLE and at that time back in the late 60s it was all about the jam and not about the songs i guess!Lord s keys are excellent and the sound is typical of that decade!not bad,not great
