deep purple, bananas, initial reactions (3093 words)
The album is definitely as strong as Purpendicular was, and to these ears as interesting and varied as WDWTWA and Fireball.
The album though is a good 8/10 with only two tracks that i need to listen to a few more times to decide on.
Have had the album for a week, and whilst the high points are high the low points are already resulting in some serious skipping of tracks.
Bananas (453 words)
Bananas is Deep Purple's first studio since Abandon in 1998.
Our favourite Greek reporter, Stathis Panagiotopoulos, was the first to jot down his Bananas impressions for The Highway Star (and the world for that matter) and many more have followed him - like Attila Scholtz who has provided us with an elaborate and insightful musician's view of the album.
Two of the songs on Bananas were co-written with now ex-Hammond Maestro Jon Lord, and we asked Roger Glover to explain.
