Axis 30th Anniversary

Deep Purple - Now What?!

The new album is great.. I think Airey and Morse really complement each other and I think the progressive nature of this album suits the band. Ezrin is an excellent producer and I'm glad he was involved.. For those who complain of the keyboard oriented sound, there's actually a lot of rhythm guitars on there and I think it's a testament to Morse's grace to be able to step back for the greater good. The songs are all great, no fillers.. To my ears, they've never been better.
 
banjoplayer: even if this is not Steve's standard equipment the sound is still Steve's. :) Great video.

uOpt: Album for me is amazing. For me it evokes more the Bananas album with more deeper melodies. Not first listen album.
 
after a lot of listening - it took a while to like the album, which is usually a good sign. i would rate it as the best morse-era record after purpendicular which is superb. no "weak" songs imho. very powerful, great playing, great sound - i really love it!
