Perfect Strangers
1984
Favorite tracks: Knockin' at Your Back Door, Nobody's Home, Perfect Strangers
Sleeper tracks: Mean Streak
My dad got this record for Christmas. It was one of those Hurst family gift exchanges. I remember we played it quite a bit during that winter. It is a better album than the reviewers thought. It's my favorite DP lineup (Mark II) and for 1984, the record is pretty heavy and dark. I thought Jon Lord's keys were really cool and the production sounds good. There are some Blackmore leads that sorta feel 'phoned in'. There isn't a lot of brilliance in his playing but I'll take a C effort Blackmore over most A efforts from 80's guitar players.
