But how do they do?

All comments on this site are unanimous: "In Rock" is a masterpiece of pop music, and certainly the most important album in the history of hard rock. This is a metal cataclysm of 43 minutes with a first atomic explosion ("Speed ​​King") and 10 minutes of phenomenal "Child in time" with vocals never cease forever to tickle us george. I have a big weakness for "Flight of the Rat" and the transition between the organ and guitar solo, which gives me chills every time (the best passage of the album?), And "Hard lovin 'man', two titles less taken by the group on stage.

But the question I ask is this: how do they do? How Deep Purple operated this metamorphosis between the group rythme'n'blues psychedelic, clever, lyrical, and gentillet (see précédants three albums "In Rock") and magma, the merger, this electro binary shock? I still can not explain it. At Led Zep, there is a consistency between albums, a readable musical evolution. With "Deep Purple in Rock" is total rupture, and the birth of a new musical genre, hard rock and ultra speedé virtuoso. This is probably due to the arrival of Ian Gillan at the microphone (see the original interpretation of "Mandrake root" and that Gillan actually after 70!) But the two soloists Blackmore and Lord, were there from the beginning ... Mystery ... Anyway, for those (there yet?) who do not know "In Rock", immerse yourself in this orgy of decibels, furious riff of supercharged keyboards, Beast screams and you will notice in passing that Deep Purple "the loudest band in the world" wrote primarily remarkable songs!
