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...

What do you think about their song Child In Time? I absolutely wet myself with happiness when I heard the guitar solo and incredible singing by Ian Gillan. I'd say that out of all the Deep Purple albums, Deep Purple In Rock is my absolute favourite. They are one of my favourite bands (a huge list) and really love their emotion and use of the keyboard.
Isn't it interesting how frequent it was from 60's till present day of bands that changed line ups really often? Do you guys thing drugs and alcohol addictions was a substantial factor?
