Yikes, because it has already arrived, the new disc of Deep Purple. Thanks to pre-order the day before the official release. It worked before super. After Rapture Of The Deep 8 years ago (!) Not lit right with me, I had once little doubt, when I held the current Silberling its case in his hands. But precisely because of the advance single All The Time In The World / Hell To Pay, the very liked, had nevertheless built up with me very much anticipation. Now I hear the work since yesterday afternoon up and down and, what can I say: I'm just excited. We must and will probably by even older men certainly do not expect reinventing their music. Thank goodness it is not so. But in a certain way is Now What ?! just yet different. It may be due to Bob Ezrin and its sensitive production. And also in the songwriting has imho what done: not as mechanized as the last four albums, but still equipped with surprising twists and Ian's voice is better embedded in the songs. He dispensed largely on the cruelty are sure to attain the no longer existing heights and now his fantastic voice comes back right to the its proper application. Despite its 68 Lenze he is still an outstanding rock singer. In addition, the vocal lines are much more melodic, yes simply more apt advised Dons Hammondsound is difficult and at the same light as a more robust sound carpet among the songs (his solos are divine), Ian Paice and Roger are as always the guarantor of the steam hammer (Tip: Body Line). Steve's guitar playing is decorated in the usual accompaniment brilliantly virtuosic and varied with Solis but here absolutely song beneficial and of course, he brings back the necessary hardness with a finely tuned sense as Don Hammond. Verses and choruses are catchy and a whole lot better combined than in the recent albums. What you hear is high-quality and varied rock music. With Simple with A song goes once going quietly. The song builds in its course, however, a thrilling and thumping midsection on, only to end up quietly again. Hell To Pay, All The Time In The World (very relaxed in the text) and Bodyline show in a fantastic way, simple and very straight, while other songs like Weird Istan, Above And Beyond, Out Of Hand, Beyond From A Stone (with bluesy Wurlitzer piano sound) or Vincent Price to make very varied and exciting and rocking. In the latter, I can empathize with one of the old Edgar Allen Poe adaptations with the good Vincent myself very well. Total reminds me Now What ?! very strongly to my favorite album Perfect Strangers without this was plagiarized. The DVD includes an interesting interview and the tracks of the first single, but without Hell To Pay. Who is not a fan Rat, can do without it. The price for this LE nevertheless absolutely appropriate. Check it to me: I must admit that I am absolutely biased and think this album for a true genius of the five old rocker. I am now 28 years followers of this fantastic group and this has my conviction strengthened. I am convinced that real Deep Purple fans will find themselves in that album and it more than enjoy. So now I'm waiting eagerly to Black Sabbath 13. What a year for the inclined Classic Rock Trailer !!
