A nice album from a legendary band. DP has proven to have been the most productive of the so-called "unholy trinity" of British Hard Rock. Best song: "Money Talks"
Underrated effort by the band. Though it was the first effort without Blackmore on guitar, Bolin fills his shoes rather well. Best song "Gettin' Tighter"
Not a bad ranking. 1 is definitely their best studio album imo (Made in Japan is their best overall). I'd have 10 and 8 a bit higher though and I didn't think 17 was that bad.
I wouldn't go that far as to say that "In Rock" is easily their best album but 1-3 are interchangeable, you can't go wrong with any of them. Also, MKIII albums>MKI albums imo.
I think 6 is quite overrated and 8,9,10 are higher for me.
