Every song is perfect and just fun as all hell. I love that it's heavy as hell, but still got this sort of lazy, almost country feel at times that really gives it a unique atmosphere that just takes it to a whole 'nother level. If Sabbath is a bad trip, then Deep Purple is the guy sitting next to Sabbath telling him to quit harshing on his buzz. I'd have to go with Sabbath in general, but I enjoy Machine Head more than any single Sabbath album. So, **** yeah, Machine Head.

Side note: I also like that "Lazy" starts with exactly four minutes and twenty seconds of jamming before the vocals kick in. So, in case you didn't know just why the guy in the song is so lazy...
Ahhh the country element may well be your interpretation of some of the Deep Purple humour in their music, which from time to time does take on "a country feel" I don't think I've ever read this about the band, but I know the sound that you mean.

Good point concerning "Lazy"
