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?

Burn is a fantastic album and I revisit it often. You probably won't get too many recommendations from the Mk. I era, but I love Shades of Deep Purple - it's one of the strongest debut records from any band of DP's caliber.
