Just about everybody's least favorite DP album, but "Stormbringer" is an excellent vocals showcase. Coverdale & Hughes just sing their hearts out on this album, showing their sincere & valid love of r & b & soul. The songs are just incredible in achieving their goals as they transcend their influences for an album unlike any other Blackmore era Deep Purple, or any other album by a heavy metal band at the time for that matter. Fans of the band hated this album & any many still do, to bad to, because "Stormbringer" showed that a heavy metal band could be both heavy & soulful on the same record & make it work. No small achievement.
