The guitar solo is altogether too pretty for my tastes - utter mush. The weakest song on the album follows, a real snore-fest of a ballad with faster bits, with Coverdale singing like a girl for crying out loud. The funky aspects are still present, albeit to a lesser degree, as the sleaze fest of "Love Don't Mean a Thing" demonstrates - Lord really piles on the dirt here, but Blackmore is happy to noodle up and down the pentatonic for decoration.
Those reviews are absolutely right - any that don't praise it to the skies don't know what the hell they're talking about! There just aren't enough superlatives - and you'll have read a million other reviews saying how good this song is. Stormbringer (the song) absolutely smokes Judas Priest, we hear where you came from! This is riffing from the Metal Gods - on your knees and chant after me "We are not worthy"! Stormbringer is the second album from Mk III Deep Purple, with David Coverdale handling vocal duties, and it's yet another inconsistent effort, with metal interest only in the title track - but OMG, what metal interest there is!
