Machine Head Hangover...

"Pretty tough to follow-up on one of the best metal albums ever.
Yet "Who Do We.." still hangs in as one of Mark II's better albums. Ritchie Blackmore delivers one of his finest solos ever on "Place In Line". I would have liked a flat out rocker to end the album like "Space Truckin'" did on MH. Instead the album goes out on a major, major whimper with "Our Lady"; hence the three star rating.
This was the first Deep Purple album I ever owned. I got it for X-Mas back in 1973 when I was in 6th grade. I immediately went out and purchased "Made In Japan" & "Machine Head" with the rest of my Christmas money. My advice would be to start with those two albums, followed by "In Rock"."

"Gillan and Glover left the band after this album released in 1973, both of them were replaced by Coverdale and hughes in the same year.
My Woman from Tokyo is a timeless song, Rat Bat blue is a timeless powerfull song, our lady is a slow rock but effective, Smooth dancer is a quite
powerfull song with the guitar and organ sound. buy this one, a must for all DP fans."
