  deep purple, bananas, initial reactions
The album is definitely as strong as Purpendicular was, and to these ears as interesting and varied as WDWTWA and Fireball.
The album though is a good 8/10 with only two tracks that i need to listen to a few more times to decide on.
Have had the album for a week, and whilst the high points are high the low points are already resulting in some serious skipping of tracks.

 Bananas
Bananas is Deep Purple's first studio since Abandon in 1998.
Our favourite Greek reporter, Stathis Panagiotopoulos, was the first to jot down his Bananas impressions for The Highway Star (and the world for that matter) and many more have followed him - like Attila Scholtz who has provided us with an elaborate and insightful musician's view of the album.
Two of the songs on Bananas were co-written with now ex-Hammond Maestro Jon Lord, and we asked Roger Glover to explain.

 Deep Purple MP3 Downloads - Deep Purple Music Downloads - Deep Purple Music Videos
The thunk and chug is still there, but Bananas often turns to mid-tempo boogie and blues, allowing Ian Gillan's wry and witty delivery some deserved space while guitarist Steve Morse's time in Kansas and the Dixie Dregs pays off as never before.
The funky light reggae of "Doing It Tonight" is downright smoky-bar slinky-sexy, and if the band doesn't add it to every one of their encores for the rest of their career they're nuts.
Hipsters have already decided, and some hardcore fans will pine for the monolithic sound of Machine Head, but on Bananas Deep Purple sound comfortable, free to do what they want, and more than the sum of their parts than they have in a long, long time.

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY JOHN "BOBO" BOLLENBERG
This album sounds as fresh as you can expect and perfectly builds the bridge between Purpendicular and Abandon, although I also hear elements that can be associated with Burn or Stormbringer.
And what a pleasant surprise this album is as it perfectly illustrates the friendship in the band and the love of playing and composing great music.
If this album is proof of what’s cooking in the Purple kitchen right now, no doubt they can deliver this kind of menu for the next hundred years.

 Bananas - Deep Purple - 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Deep Purple's first studio album in five years has new songs that for the most part sound like their old songs, which is not really such a bad thing.
The album brims with trademark DP choogling; original members Ian Paice and Roger Glover remain one of the most solid, thunderous rhythm sections in rock.
Bananas is not a very bad album, but it's no killer either.

In 1994, the Bananas signed on with Impact Records, and later that year released a first album, Da Turdy Point Buck.
The album was a humorous collection of satirical songs that could bring a smile even to Scrooge's face.

 Deep Purple - Bananas
Throughout the band’s history they have dealt with a lof of unsuspected departures which was regarded by the media as being the ultimate death of the band.
This new “Bananas” album is the first Purple product featuring Airey who also concentrates on the Hammond but whose sound sadly is mixed a little too much in the back.
This album sounds as fresh as you can expect and perfectly builds the bridge between “Purpendicular” and “Abandon” although I also hear elements which can be associated with “Burn” or “Stormbringer”.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Bananas
It fits with the ages of the band members, who may not always be moving in the direction of, let's say, "Highway Star." It's also a very musical record that really shows all faces of Deep Purple.
This album should make any Deep Purple fan quite a happy chap because it features just about anything the band is known for.
The album obviously does not bring anything new to the band's long-established style, but it's solid, melodic, and catchy, yet also surprising and adventurous at the same time.

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY KEITH "MUZIKMAN" HANNALECK
The album kicks into high gear immediately with their single release “House Of Pain,” and from that point forward you get a varied selection of tracks, they dig down into their grab bag of tricks that have accumulated over the years and briefly remind you of the Blackmore era DP at times.
Roger Glover (bass) and Ian Paice (drummer) are a familiar rhythm section that still knows how to lay down a strong bottom line for the rest of the group to follow; they remain the anchor that keeps the DP ship afloat.
I was not disappointed in the least bit, I really enjoyed this album, and it is a hell of lot better than most of the mainstream crap that is selling millions of copies today that is for sure.

Bananas is a great Hard Rock album by a bunch of top musicians.
If you do not count the mountains of live albums and compilations, this is their seventeenth studio album.
Bananas is the first release of new material in five years and the first Deep Purple album not to feature the talents of Jon Lord on keyboards, who retired from the band (but not music) last year to make way for Don Airey.

 Deep Purple - Bananas - CD review
Although Steve is stealing from his own Take It Off The Top it's pretty fresh, heavy and moving forward with melodic and powerful vocals, a driving bass, cowbells and harmonica, even some screams, which we don't have too many of on this album and I must say I don't mind that fact at all.
Overall it has to be stated that Gillan's work on Bananas is way more melodic than on Abandon.
Especially through the different opinions of my wife (she's thrilled - she says it totally rocks) and myself about the album I think I realize what it's about: I'm a Purple Maniac for almost 30 years, therefore I look differently at DP things, probably with higher and different expectations.

 Amazon.com: Bananas: Music: Deep Purple   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
"Bananas" is a pretty hard rocking cd and includes some excellent rockers such as "House Of Pain", "I Got Your Number", "Sun Goes Down", "Razzle Dazzle", "Silver Tongue", "Bananas", "Picture Of Innocence", "Doing It Tonight", and "Never A Word".
While "Bananas" is no "Machine Head" in terms of mass appeal, it comes darn close and that's enough for this longtime Deep Purple fan to have bought it.
This album proves that a band doesn't have to constantly change their sound to keep up with the times to stay good.

 Amazon.co.uk: Bananas: Music: Deep Purple   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
By virtue of its less-than-sober title, Bananas has already fallen foul of the more conservative elements of Deep Purple's fanbase: trenchant adherents who think that this sort of jocular impertinence doesn't befit the work of serious rock musicians (obviously they've never heard of Frank Zappa) and who have campaigned to get the album title changed.
I have given this album four stars for the brilliance of House of Pain, Sun Goes Down, Haunted and Pictire of Innocence.
The rest of the album is relatively weak, although the Bananas track itself is credible.

 The Harry Chapin Archive at HarryChapin.com
The album features the original studio versions of Chapin classics "A Better Place to Be" and "Circle." But perhaps more importantly (as those songs are already well-distributed on compilation CDs), the album features seemingly lost Chapin stories, including "And the Baby Never Cries," "Burning Herself," "Barefoot Boy," and "Woman Child."
But for Chapin fans who have reached the level of the Dance Band on the Titanic album, this is the next step.
Slightly over-produced and having a little of the "forced" feel that some of Harry's studio albums possess, this album does not capture the powerfully live Harry Chapin.

 Man : Bananas - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
With Man having already shattered on the rocks of unfulfilled expectations in early 1976, it seemed a strange time to be releasing a new single, all the more so when the marathon jam of "Bananas" neither fit, nor belonged, on a 7-inch disc.
Marketed as an EP despite containing only two songs - the nine minute title track split into two 33rpm-playing halves - Bananas was reprised from 1972's oddly Deke Leonard-less Be Good To Yourself album.
No surprise, then, to learn that Bananas peeled off into oblivion, and today it lines up alongside all those other blink-and-you'll-miss-'em Man goodies that baffle and infuriate the band's many collectors.
