The poppy title track opens, a stomping and swirling tune that stays a bit longer than it should but is still pretty darn infectious. āDarker Shale Of Blackā mines familiar mid-70ās Deep Purple, lots of Mr. Blackmoreās slicing electric playing here (what fans complain about he does too little of in this band he has helmed 10 albums with his wife alongside his wife Candice).
