Slaves & Masters = Grave Disasters.,
By
This review is from: Slaves And Masters (Audio CD)
This is an album which despite what some people say, sounds like a second rate Rainbow. I am one of the biggest Purple fans and this is the only one of their albums featuring Ritchie that I have never bought !
You only have to look at the poor sales to see that hiring Joe Lynn Turner was a big mistake, and the fact that he only stayed for 1 album and tour proves that. Another reviewer described it as " Not A Bad Middle Of The Road Arena Rock Album " This is Deep Purple we're talking about..at one time the biggest ROCK band in the world..and to be reduced to sounding like and being described as MOR is appalling. Thankfully JLT was ousted and after looking for another replacement, Gillan was brought back to the fold..much to Ritchie's disgust. Don't get me wrong..I thought JLT was great in Rainbow..he is a fine vocalist, but just totally wrong for Deep Purple. Don't Buy It !!

An underrated Deep Purple release.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Slaves And Masters (Audio CD)
Well this is one of those albums that caused uproar upon its original release. You see the problem was that many people were too narrow minded to think that Deep Purple could produce a great album with any vocalist other than Ian Gillan [and not forgetting David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes], the fact that the new vocalist Joe Lynn Turner was in Blackmore's Rainbow instantly made people think that this is how the band would turn out, hence the horrible mock dubbings of Purple Rainbows or Deep Rainbow - urgghh! 'Slaves & Masters' proved all the doubters wrong. I must admit that my exposure to this album is a decade too late and looking back I am a little annoyed that I didn't check it out sooner. What we have here is a FINE album that is considerably more worthy of the Purple name than the present incarnation of the band, sure its commercial in places, OK it does get a little Rainbow-esque too not that is a bad thing at all, but mostly its a good 'Deep Purple' album.For the most part this is an enjoyable album. It takes a few spins to really get into, but ultimately you are rewarded with a strong album that will make you feel more than a little smug because you own it while others mock it! Joe Lynn Turner was a worthy addition and while this does not quite reach the excellence of say 'In Rock' or 'Perfect Strangers' it does have many worthy track and moments. Admittedly Jon Lord, Roger Glover and Ian Paice [who could of been replaced by a drum machine without too much indifference] are a little faceless throughout, but Blackmore and Joe Lynn Turner's dominating presence ensure that the album is a winner. Blackmore has called this one of his favourite DP albums and I can see why, his authority is stamped all over it and that is what makes it superior to me over the present DP lineup where his moody arrogance is definitely lacking - Highly recommended.

Deep Rainbow.,

Got this album recently and if you like Rainbow circa Joe Lynn Turner then you will like this...if you are expecting Burn/Machine Head etc. Don't bother.
