"This album effectively combines rock, rap, R&B, gospel, and pop music along with faith based lyrics to create a classic album. It is considered a landmark album in the Contemporary Christian Music scene."  Reply

"A neighbor had this and played it with his windows open, so I heard it in 1964. Then later in college I heard the version he rerecorded because the masters were thought lost. Then they were found, and the version I now have is both takes back to back, and it is amazing-- half a decade apart, and ..."  [+]  Reply

"Big step up from At the Speed of Sound, in my opinion. There are certain tracks I could do without, such as Cuff Link, Name and Address, and the closer - to name a few. But I think there's a larger number of fantastic tracks than Speed of Sound, which was still an enjoyable album. Denny Laine's t..."  [+]  Reply

"Stormbringer is way better than you might expect. Rhythmically there is lots of funk and fewer complex rock elements, but there are many good songs. The instrumentation is solid and Coverdale is more confident. Hughes is a fine player and gives the band a fine base to rock on. This is the FINAL M..."  [+]  Reply

"Consistently good throughout and an improvement, in my opinion, on English Settlement. In Loving Memory Of A Name is probably my favourite on this one with Funk Pop A Roll harking back to the first two albums."  Reply

"I grew up in the Midwest. All I knew was heavy metal and head banging, or pop 40 Casey Kassim. When I got to college I burned through classic rock, found alternative, which really took off big in 1993, and somewhere along I found this album and punk rock. I had no idea what it was.
