[Heeplist] Smoke on the Water

[DAVID M SHERROD]

I listened a few times, but got very bored with it, the guitar solos add nothing to the album, The keys are decent but, it just has nothing to offer that I like. The only real thing I ever liked about Purple was Blackmore, and the interplay with Jon Lord, when Ritchie was leading, Ian was and is a very good drummer, but again without Ritchie they just have no fire to their sound and it just sit there. I admit they are all very talented and play well but they no longer have anything I enjoy hearing.
