Led Zeppelin’s fourth album, Black
Sabbath’s Paranoid, and Deep Purple’s Machine Head have stood the test
of time as the Holy Trinity of English hard rock and heavy metal,
serving as the fundamental blueprints followed by virtually every heavy
rock & roll band since the early ’70s. And, though it is probably
the least celebrated of the three, Machine Head contains the “mother of
all guitar riffs” — and one of the first learned by every beginning
guitarist — in “Smoke on the Water.”
Inspired by real life events in Montreux,
Switzerland, where Deep Purple were recording the album when the Grand
Hotel was burned to the ground during a Frank Zappa concert, neither the
song, nor its timeless riff, should need any further description.
However, Machine Head was anything but a one-trick pony, introducing the
bona fide classic opener “Highway Star,” which epitomized all of Deep
Purple’s intensity and versatility while featuring perhaps the greatest
soloing duel ever between guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and organist Jon
Lord. Also in top form was singer Ian Gillan, who crooned and exploded
with amazing power and range throughout to establish himself once and
for all as one of the finest voices of his generation, bar none. Yes,
the plodding shuffle of “Maybe I’m a Leo” shows some signs of age, but
punchy singles “Pictures of Home” and “Never Before” remain as vital as
ever, displaying Purple at their melodic best. And finally, the
spectacular “Space Truckin'” drove Machine Head home with yet another
tremendous Blackmore riff, providing a fitting conclusion to one of the
essential hard rock albums of all time. by Eduardo Rivadavia—Allmusic Guide
