Japanese reissue of Deep Puple ninth studio album.

From RateYourMusic:
It is sometimes hard to believe that this album was released only seven months after the #3 debut Burn. For this album is in many ways just as different from Burn as that album was from Who Do We Think We Are. Before we go any further let me say that i think this is a very very good album indeed. That is a personal opinion as is my rating and in this review i will raise some other issues.

First of all it is not really clear why the band chose to record again so quickly, they had not released two studio albums in the same year since the #1 days when that was the norm. The norm in the 70's was very much of an album a year. There can only be two possible explainations - contractual obligation, which considering by this time they had their own Purple label is doubtful - or a desire to quickly bed in the new boys and get some fresh material for the live set. The second seems the most likely option but given the fact that the live set had stayed pretty much the same from late 71 until Gillan and Glover's departure in the summer of 73 rapid changes of live set had never been something they had worried about before. Whatever the reasons, and whatever your feelings about this album are it would appear in retrospect to have been a mistake. One of the main differences between this album and Burn is the performance of Ritchie Blackmore. It is quite clear that at times on this album he is totally disinterested and is quite happy to let others take the lead. That is not the norm for the man in black. Another difference with Stormbringer is the length of the songs - they are far shorter than on previous albums and there are far fewer instrumental passages then normal. The other,and some will say main difference was the increasing influence and ego of one Glenn Hughes. Nobody is going to doubt Glenn Hughes ability but who hypnotized him into thinking he was Stevie Wonder. He sang and wrote perfectly good rock songs with just enough funk and soul in them when in Trapeze. His vocal contribution to Burn wasn't overly irritating but some of the #3 live shows are unlistenable in parts due to his constant squealing and at times on this album you just wish he would leave it to Coverdale. Blackmore quite clearly wasn't impressed either and jumped ship soon after.

So what about the tracks then. Stormbringer i believe can be almost split in two. The title track, Lady Double Dealer, The Gypsy and Soldier Of Fortune wouldn't have been overly out of place on Burn. The others wouldn't have been out of place on Come Taste The Band. It is surely no coincidence that the first four were the ones that got into the live set.

Reading back what i have written so far it sounds at times as though i am not overly fond of this album. That couldn't be further from the truth, there was a time when this was my most played DP album. The secret is (as with Come Taste The Band) not to think of it as a Deep Purple album. Just think of it as a very very good album made by a group of elite musicians who just happened to have been in Deep Purple.
