In 1984, after it had closed forever Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow experience (of which he speaks elsewhere, given the complications and interference with other artists) members continued to surprise the MARK II's most famous hard rock band of all time: the DEEP PURPLE .
For the uninitiated the Mark II (Blackmore-Glover-Lord-Paice, Gillan) is the best education, which are linked to the larger critical and commercial successes, without wanting anything away from Coverdale, Hughes, Bolin , Morse and Company.
The Mark II is in history, is the history of hard rock.
And the album that Deep Purple they decided to record together in 1984 was one of the first examples of a reunion (at the time, too, but Aerosmith did that most of reunion it was the return of Joe Perry, but also on This will return us) worthy of the name. Maybe in 1984 the reunion tasted less blatantly commercial (if I think about that recently the Police I writhe your guts, and I love the Police) and the most artistic. It focuses on new discs rather than moneyed touring. DP
fact is that they came up with a "comeback album" controcazzi with, pardon the esprit de finesse.
disc originated from the reunion, PERFECT STRANGERS, not at all disappointed expectations. Deep Purple were all the best, very good songwriting, great production, flawless performances by all band members for once serene and concentrated (then, of course, after the hard times the eternal dispute-Blackmore Gillan and go back to maps and forty-eight).
Certainly the record does not contain a new star or a new Highway Speed \u200b\u200bking, but you know, time passes for all and we must also adapt both to changes in the world around you and to your registry.
PERFECT STRANGERS, while falling short of Machine Head or in Rock, gave sound "lessons of hard rock" to the myriad band of the era, remembering that in 1984 the genre was at the top of the charts worldwide in its many different versions, from the just born thrash metal of Metallica and his companions, to hair / glam metal American Ratt and Dokken and Motley Crue, the British style of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Scorpions of melodic metal to pop in short .... a pleasure.
Deep Purple, even if only for an album, took the scepter in his hand and gave him a pair of slaps on the right and left of the Ocean.
With a handful of excellent songs, including at least three of the absolute level: the riffoso opener "Knockin 'at your backdoor," the sinuous "Perfect Strangers", the melancholy "Wasted Sunsets".
The song of the same name the album is the crown jewel, but will post the ballatona Wasted Sunsets first because there is a voice of a mature superprestazione Ian Gillan who may have lost some sharp but has certainly gained in depth of interpretation, because there is a second assolone Ritchie Blackmore of the most lyrical and heartbreaking that I have ever heard.
the next.
