As far as Blackmore’s Night goes, I have every studio album and the music is expertly done. I think that the problem is what people expect from Blackmore rather than what he is doing. I’m in that boat, I would prefer he get back with Purple or Rainbow but he is doing what he is doing.
The guy can basically play anything he puts his mind to so I think it is all well-played but the ideas, the lyrics, the arrangements, they could be interchanged with other Blackmore’s Night songs on previous albums and you wouldn’t know the difference. granted, I am not a New Age expert so I could be missing something important but there really isn’t much that sets itself apart from the rest of the catalogue.

This album was painfully dull. As for the music being top notch, I don’t think so because I as much as I respect Blackmore it just seems like he is going through the motions any more. The music is so slick and glossy that it really fails to bring about any emotion and I think this kind of music really needs that to have any chance of making an impact. Then again I may just be an old sourpuss who wishes that Blackmore would knock out just one more actual rock album.
