The Perfect Strangers album isn't necessarily a return to normalcy for the band, nor is it a shift toward the rock trends that were emerging supreme in the eighties - it's a perfect mix of the two.
When you purchase the album, make sure the version of the album you are buying is one that has this track.
I love listening to this album, yet I find myself wishing the lyrics were written in a tongue I couldn't understand.

  Country Music CD Reviews
For their second album of gospel music, Alabama sticks with a similar formula - a predictable mixture of traditional favorites and well-known hymns along with a few originals, not all of which work.
But when she recorded an entire album of these songs, "Between Here and Gone" over two years ago, the songs were all very good.
Instead of that unassuming number, Viktor Krauss could easily have taken the title of his second album from one of its songs, "Ecotone," a term denoting a border or transition point between two ecological areas that often includes characteristics of each of those surroundings while adding its own.

 METALLIAN - Falconer
Falconer's third album transitions two members from temps to full-time members, recruits a new singer and is a concept album of some complexity to boot.
A new Falconer album should at least be of interest because of the band's new line-up and the introduction of a new guitarist and a bassist.
The album is a motley one and inconsistent in credibility, but the potential is clear should the band want to produce something fully dependable next time free of keyboards, female vocals and other silly poppy influences.

 CD Baby: STEVE SNELLING: Perfect Strangers
STEVE SNELLING'S "PERFECT STANGERS" A resident of Colorado, Steve Snelling is a singer/songwriter who wrote, arranged, and produced all of the eight songs on "Perfect Strangers", his debut CD.
Snelling has a unique ability to take his observations about the world-- and on "Perfect Strangers", it IS a cruel world-- and setting it to music which expertly matches the frank emotions it inspires.
The first track on "Perfect Strangers" is a song called "Daniel", a song ostensiably about an autistic young man. Songs about the mentally challenged generally tend to eschew any realness, much less negativity, in favor of being overly saccharine.

 Spocks Beard - The Kindness of Strangers
This album is the one that I had most problems with in the beginning, which was more like an adaption problem.
The album feeds you with this kind of jam all thru it actually, so that's why I can't understand my previous thought of it.
Favorite track is without doubt the extremely perfect song "Harms' Way", and then I mostly refer to the vocals of Neal.

 Deep Purple Mark 2 Reunion History
The first reunion studio album, 'Perfect Strangers', was released in late 1984.
It hit the top ten in the UK but despite a few classics, failed to build on the solid foundation of 'Perfect Strangers'.
The subsequent tour again relied heavily on the old 'Made In Japan' set list, with 'Perfect Strangers' tracks being the ones to make way for a selection from the new album.

 Walmart.com - Music Downloads
Responsible for such classics as MACHINE HEAD and MADE IN JAPAN, the group was considered amongst metal's elite, and judging from its first comeback album, 1984's PERFECT STRANGERS, DEEP PURPLE hadn't lost its magic touch in the slightest.
The album was a major worldwide hit, going platinum in the U.S., and spawning several rock radio hits.
Despite the changes that occurred in the musical landscape during the band's absence, the group did not change its sound much for the reunion, sticking to the ingredients that made them so exceptional in the first place--Gillan's wailing vocals, Blackmore's shredding guitar, and the rock-steady three-part rhythm section.

Producing the first original Deep Purple material in almost a decade, they were hugely successful with the release of Perfect Strangers and the follow-up tour, headlining once again in stadiums across the world.
Songs like Perfect strangers and Knocking at your backdoor are already classics and the album contains also a nice ballad (Wasted sunsets) and some good rockers (Hungry daze, Not responsible - shame that they didn't include it on the LP, so we had to buy the CD or the MC also).
When I first got this album, I thought it was the seventh wonder of the world, but then i was 20 at the time.

 Deep Purple : Perfect Strangers - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Deep Purple's definitive Mark II lineup finally caved in to the temptation of the almighty dollar, "made up," and reunited for 1984's Perfect Strangers.
Luckily, it is one of the better examples of a reunion album, although the band's uneasy camaraderie only lasted a few more years.
Ian Gillan's lyrics don't make much sense, but Ritchie Blackmore's guitar riffs and Ian Paice's thunderous drumming carry this song as well as the rest of the album.

Of the four line ups, it was the second, "Mark II" line-up which found their sound and made their mark with the album, "In Rock" and subsequently "Machine Head" and most popular of all the all-time great live album, "Made In Japan".
Their other two albums did well but are not so well remembered.
Sure enough a few months later the album "Perfect Strangers" was released and they started on a world tour finishing on Saturday 22nd June at the outdoor Knebworth festival.

 Rolling Stone : Deep Purple: House Of Blue Light : Music Reviews
Of the seventies hard-rock dinosaurs that still roam the earth, Deep Purple is one of the few with any credibility left in its crunch.
Although Gillan is hardly the Alan Alda of heavy metal, "Mitzi Dupree," a heavy-plodding blues, may be a new low in rock-star sexism ("I said what is this queen of the ping pong business/She smiled what do you think/It has no connection with China/I said oow have another drink").
But aside from the rather purple poetry, the ho-hum Armageddon stomp "Strangeways" and a notable lack throughout the album of classic Blackmore psycho-chicken-scratch soloing, The House of Blue Light is a surprisingly strong return from the tar pits.

 Amazon.co.uk: Life in Mono: Music: Emma Bunton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The sound so vigorously pursued on that album, which retrospectively harks back to the swinging 60s and the romantic days of bossa nova, not only gave Bunton a much needed niche, but provides a perfect backdrop to her bubblegum-lite vocals.
It is, perhaps, a little unusual for a distinct solo artist to use such a cover as the title for their album, but I think this owes more to Emma's love of the song than any attempt to appropriate all the credit for it.
This is by far the best album to date and I certainly hope she continues producing quality material like this.

 Amazon.co.uk: The House of Blue Light: Remastered: Music: Deep Purple   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
From tracks like the unwriten law to a more blues style mitzie dupree this album is brilliant and as far as deep purple albums go not very much comes close, aside from obviously the stunning machine head album.
For this album, the band completely ditches all of their classic rock roots and becomes a classic eighties metal band.
The album seems to be becoming increasingly difficult to find in the States, but when you do find it, the price is (oddly enough) usually very low.

 DEEP PURPLE: Shades 1968-1998 (Rhino / Warner Archives)
The studio version is included here; and while it lacks the raw power of the live versions, you still a sense of the group's intensity both onstage and off.
In August of 1972, the band toured Japan and recorded what many consider to be one of the greatest live albums ever, Made in Japan.
Disc three includes two tracks from this classic album, but it's hard to pick individual songs when you're dealing with perfection.

 CD review: "Perfect Strangers"
This past month, the rumors proved to be true with the release of "Perfect Strangers," an effort containing all-new material by the same lineup that produced one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time, "Machine Head."
The evidence on the new release shows that, unlike many veteran rock groups that have attempted comebacks after extended separations (Simon and Garfunkle, Animals), Deep Purple is again a living, growing entity, not merely an oldies act making a buck off past glories.
While the title track is somewhat unimpressive and an odd choice for the first single and video from this album, overall this is a most impressive outing for Deep Purple.

 M.I.A. - PopMatters Concert Review
Don't get me wrong, she fires off some great lines (my favorite: "Is your daddy dealer, 'cause you're dope to me!"), but her delivery is more dancehall ragga than pure rap.
But it doesn't matter; her music is a perfect combination of Diplo beats backing a ridiculously charismatic MC, and for forty-five minutes M.I.A. rocked the mic and the room.
At the end of her set, M.I.A. did give in to a little selfishness, urging everyone to buy her album so she won't have to stay poor.

DEEP PURPLE Perfect Strangers (2007 Japanese exclusive limited edition reissue 10-track CD album, originally released in 1984, presented in mini LP-style card sleeve + obi strip, more details to follow...).
Known as a culture for elaborate and excessive packaging, their approach to the CD album is no exception.
Japanese CD albums often benefit from extra music and new video-style content, to further entice the Japanese public to buy their native release and not an import.

 Deep Purple - Rapture of the Deep CD Review
As soon as this album came out, I ran to the store picked it up, and I advise you all to do the same.
A stand out track is “Rapture of the Deep” which has a major influence from the “Perfect Strangers” album with the keyboard intro.
The next stand out track is “Back to Back,” which is the heaviest song on the album with some furious riffs, and sometimes-comical lyrics.
