@ Stads...It was either that or Now What. That album is ok. Not a fave or anything. Kind of like Immortal. You'd probably have to be a Blackmore fan to really enjoy it.
@Lowdz...After The War was such a huge improvement over the disappointing Run For Cover and Wild Frontier. ATW actually ROCKS!
Jesus, I think Run for Cover is fucking fantastic.
Yes you are right. But when RFC came out, I was quite disappointed. I loved the two Lynott tunes. But I was not happy that Gary had Glenn Hughes singing on the album, even though he's great on All Messed up, which is a great tune.
I think it introduced some of the new technology..electronic effects, only to be used even more on Wild Frontier. I know every album has a dud here and there, but as entire albums, I was disappointed in both. When ATW came out, I was ecstatic.
Those are my memories. Now, I am way more comfortable, even LOVE, both albums.
