Many rock bands site this as their most influential record, mainly for the classic 'Smoke On The Water', one of rock's most known and classic tunes built on a Blackmore riff to die for and a wheezing organ, unbelievably heavy metal and unintentional too in that it was creating so many monsters in the womb. 'Highway Star' is another Purple classic, 'Maybe Im A Leo' has a funky flow, 'Never Before' a bluesy shuffle and 'Space Truckin' an original glam diamond in the rough. I've never been the bands biggest fan, and have only ever listened to their early works which most traditional metal fans will tell you are must have lp's. I place Deep Purple after Sabbath and Zeppelin...and long way after, with many more bands in between.
7/10
