Deep Purple has always been hit and miss for me due to their albums being uneven for my taste. Coverdale era is my favorite. Interestingly Steve Morse has been replaced by Simon McBride who played with Sweet Savage in the 90's. I like this first single.

1. "Show Me"
2. "A Bit on the Side"
3. "Sharp Shooter"
4. "Portable Door"
5. "Old-Fangled Thing"
6. "If I Were You"
7. "Pictures of You"
8. "I'm Saying Nothin'"
9. "Lazy Sod"
10. "Now You're Talkin'"
11. "No Money to Burn"
12. "I'll Catch You"
13. "Bleeding Obvious"

The single is killer...hopefully the rest of the album is as energetic.
I dont dislike any of their recent albums, but none have been essential by any stretch.

This is a lot of fun. Nice gallop and bounce and Ian is doing his thing... I always find him a really charismatic singer.

The last album of new songs was OK, but I've been going back to Now What and Infinite every so often and both really hold up. I'm kind of amazed they're able to keep going as long as they have. After every recent album I always think that's the last one, but they keep plugging on.

Old men who've seen it all playing their hard rock. That's fun. Same thing as with Uriah Heep. "Infinite" was the last one I bought. The new song sounds nice enough.

The new song sounds great, Simon McBride fits well enough. I have always enjoyed the Steve Morse stuff and even if the music slowed down to a ponderous pace, you could always rely on Ian to spin a clever line and make it interesting.

My only gripe is this zero effort cover art like Now What had.

I literally changed that album to "Above and Beyond" in my iTunes and used that single artwork.
