Deep Purple - Rapture of the Deep
"The Wrong Man" rocks. Let me just say that for starters. In this latter day version of Purple, it's a great litle groovetastic rocker. Gillan is in great voice, Airey makes you not miss Lord. At all. Whereas the title track sounds wayyyy too much like "Got To Get You Into My Life" in the verses. The chorus is a dank jam track. In fact, that's what this band is now. A dank jam band.
There's nothing to get too excited about on Rapture. But the band doesn't embarrass themselves in the slightest.
There's still the occasional dip into Zevon land with "Clearly Quite Absurd", where Gillan sounds more like Warren than Warren does.
Other than that, it's standard issue Purple.
And with that, the Deep Purple section of this Listening Post is over.
