On the "Rising" two songs are included, which the trade mark `better off nicht` get. We're talking, of course, `` A Stargazer` and light in the Black`. Can what is happening at the two songs you hardly describe. Ronnie sings the hell out of them, Cozy a skin that drums or other broken and the man in black surpasses itself. Never was or should Ritchie play guitar so awesome again. `Tarot woman` with a super intro from Tony Carey is hardly worse. `Starstruck` is a somewhat simpler song, but no worse. Only `Run with the wolf` and` Do you close your eyes` are `nur` good songs and do not reach the class of first-named songs. Only one drawback was the album, it is much too short, too bad!
The whole thing was produced by Martin Birch outstanding (including Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden). "Rising" has to be mentioned in the same breath as "Deep Purple in Rock", "Machine Head" Purple and "Mr. Universe" by Gillan. One can hardly believe that she grew up so inconsequential albums like "Bent out of shape" of Rainbow were published.
5+ star for "Rising", one of the masterpieces of the Hard Rock.
