A band that has lost its shine and is searching for itself

The problem with Deep Purple is that they keep evoking the Mk II ghost (early
70s) and the quest for that long lost time makes them look more pathetic than
their talent deserves. Morse and Lord [sic] are tonic, the rhythm section is
'the good old days', while Gillan, poor soul, does what he can.
But the compositive shine doesn't exist anymore. Haunted, an intense and choral
ballad, is the only exception to the routine.
