Who the fuck thought naming the album Bananas was a good idea? Music is decent, but God that artwork and title are retarded.

This is more lame than Coda from LED Zeppelin. Not going bananas for this.

It always pains me to pan a Deep Purple album, but BANANAS was something of a disappointment. I've listened to it many times through the years and it never really seems to grow on me as I'd hoped it might. It's pretty much the same formula as their prior work with Steve Morse and does possess that same charming delivery from Ian Gillan. This was the first album featuring Don Airey on keyboards, replacing founding member Jon Lord who'd decided to retire at this point. Airey does a good job at preserving the classic Purple sound, but there are noticeably less fireworks between he and Morse. There are some likeable enough songs, but I'd be hard pressed to cite any truly great ones here as most as fairly unremarkable. The single "Haunted" is a nice enough ballad and "Pictures Of Innocence" exudes more energy than the rest. "Silver Tongue" also features a nice guitar break from Steve Morse, but kind plods along a bit predictably otherwise. Not really a bad album, but rather bland and average by Purple's standards.

lacks the soul of classic Deep Purple (spiritual soul, not musical soul)
