DeepPurple never left , they had so many changes I think it hurt them publicly but never music wise they always put out great music go back & listen you won’t be disappointed

I completely disagree, I love Steve Morse and I miss him. Everything that Steve Morse recorded with Deep Purple starting with the Perpendicular album up until he left the band due to his wife's illness is just amazing. I'm 67 years old so I go all the way back to Ritchie Blackmore who I love but I can't explain it, I like Steve Morse even better. Not really used to Simon yet.. With all that being said, I love what I've heard so far from the new album and I'm going to order the vinyl.

Ever since Steve Morse has left the band people started talking badly about him. It's really strange. Apart from the fact that he saved the band all those years ago he really lifted them up to new hights. They sounded amazing with him, especially with Jon Lord still on board. Perihelion and Abandon Live are among my favorite Purple concerts. In his last years with the band though, I felt that he was losing his spark. It was the right decision to leave, even though he (at least officially) left because of the severe illness of his wife who sadly passed away not too long ago.

Deep Purple always released great albums and live they are more than fantastic. I loved Steve Morse and the others and I love Simon, both are great live. For me they are the best band ever 😀😍

I can't believe you're changing your stance on these bands who have changed members many many times you should try Uriah Heep

Best album ever is Machine Head. Best live album Made in Japan.

Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming from Purpendicular is an awesome Morse era track.

Spott on..first thing i say was this..DP sound like we are back in 1970 ...now you say the same ❤

Michael the last three or so albums Deep Purple put out have been pretty solid have you heard those? I have yet to hear these new songs but I expect they will be be pretty strong.

The first two singles do not promise that

I closed my eyes, put on the headphones, and remembered the old Deep Purple..

Saw the Lazy Sod video today. Sounds very much like Purple.

Best album since Perfect Strangers perhaps… so far, gotta hear the rest

It's 54 years since 'In Rock'. The present line-up is extremely good.

DeepPurple is was and would be always amazing. There so much new ideas in new songs and you can feel the fun the guys have to play. Great work ❤

Can't lose with Gillan's voice. Good stuff.👍🏼

Lazy SOD, Portable Door, Pictures of you. The best haven’t been released yet.

My favorites in this order. 1. Lazy Sod 2. Portable Door 3. Pictures of You

Hail Deep Purple...I'm a big fan since 1968 (Shades)...they revolutionized rock and heavy along Zeppelin and Sabbath...❤

Deep Purple is well known for being one of the founding groups of hard rock. Their music had a significant influence on the development of genres such as heavy metal. Their 1972 album “Machine Head,” which included the hit “Smoke on the Water,” is often cited as a major influence in the rock world. Despite several line-up changes, Deep Purple continues to tour and produce music to this day. They left an indelible mark on the history of rock music.
