Fair play to them for not becoming their own tribute band, and still producing new material - they're quite prolific, too - but I'm not bowled over.
I saw Gillan, Lord, Paice, Glover and Morse at The Brixton Academy in the early '90s and they were absolutely brilliant.
* EDIT - just listened to the track 'Lazy Sod' from the new album - it's just about OK but it won't set the world alight. McBride's guitar does fit well, but poor old Ian... his voice is a bit more than fucked I'm afraid. It does sound like Purple however, especially the keys.
There's a ballad near the end of the album which really "showcases" Gillan's voice... it's basically in tune, there are bits where he sounds OK and other bits where he sounds totally cracked and wheezy. I think they've made a decision to say "well, this is how I sound now", rather than trying to fix it with a load of studio processing. I approve of that.
