Rating: 9 This album was certainly before my time as a music lover (about three decades, really) but it is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.

Rating: 10 This album is the museum of riff and heavy. Who doesn't know Smoke On The Water ?

  This is the album that anyone MUST listen.

Wait, who doesn't know this album?

Rating: 10 Classic album. The keyboard interlude on 'Lazy' is fucking brilliant.

Rating: 10 This album is what started me off into metal when i was 3. Yes 3yo. I used to get it onto the old turntable and listen to it over and over on the headphones. I used to scratch the shit out of it trying to put it on. Put a big gouge in pictures of home. Sucks. That was nearly 30 years ago.

Rating: 10 It's sad that the only well-known track on this masterpiece is "Smoke On The Water"...

Yeah, you're right in that in the broader mainstream that became a very well-known and popular song but I think amongst hard rock fans and metal fans particularly, the song "Highway Star" is very highly regarded and well-known. Have you seen the doco that was made on the making of the album? Well worth seeing.

No, I still haven't, I'll make sure chacking it. What makes me sad is that, while anyone knows that radio friendly, really less people know about Blackmore's stunning solos, and so on...
