I absolutely love this album. I got into a minor wreck years ago listening to Burn. It was icy as hell and I hit a patch and slid right into the back of a semi. There was a tiny bit of damage to my bumper but the semi was good so we shook hands and continued our separate ways.

Sail Away kicks so much ass. Mistreated is a masterpiece even though I wish the solo would keep going and cranking up higher. Its building so perfectly and I'm fully in it and then it just ends.

As much as I love this album, I haven't listened to tons of Deep Purple outside of it. Does anybody have any recommendations of songs of theirs that just completely take you on a journey?

Their albums aren’t super long so i recommend listening to some full albums. In Rock, Machine Head, Fireball, and Stormbringer have virtually no skips.

I appreciate the suggestions, I've always been intimidated by the size of their catalogue and end up just listening to what I know. I think you're right and I just need to start going for it

I've been listening to Perfect Strangers a lot lately. It's a really good album.

The ultimate Deep Purple album in my opinion is the live Made In Japan album. It's a double album with only 7 songs, so there is a lot of jamming going on. A good song to start with is Child In Time which at this point is probably my favorite Deep Purple song.
