SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE evokes a baroque rock sound that seems even slightly more dated than its 1968 release date. It has much more in common with the rock music that predated the psychedelic area than the acid rock that began emerging that same year. It would take a few more albums for them to start creating music that was a bit more cutting edge than yesterday's news. Still, this was an admirable start for a now legendary band.

Psychedelic as fuck, this definitely merits a listen, although it's not as immediate as other works by the band. The band definitely had room for improvement at this point, but this remains an interesting debut. Only fans of Mk II and/or III should check this out, this one is for diehards only.

A band in search of an identity, nevertheless Purple's debut remains a very enjoyable effort. "And the Address", "Mandrake Root" and specially "Hush" are the most memorable songs here.

Not bad, not good. Stays within set boundaries, but flickers of talent pop up here and there. A sign of what's yet to come.

chill jam rocks with nascent but in no way pursued metallic elements and a much more justifiable version of help

Generic, bland, flavorless psychedelic rock with one really good song. This really does nothing for me.

An experimental debut of DP mostly covering songs from their influences. Evans shows some capabilities as a vocalist, Lord being creative behind the organ and Paice's drumming is full of skills.rRecommended tracks: Hush, Hey Joe, And the Address
