4.0 out of 5 stars GILLAN THE GOD!, November 29, 2002

Ian Gillan: an endless source of musical creation, not only in the hard rock genre, but with a lot of its subgenres. The guy is involved in all the compositions for his various different catalogues (DEEP PURPLE, IAN GILLAN BAND, GILLAN, IAN GILLAN, GILLAND & GLOVER); the guy can sing softly and can scream terribly loud; the guy performs live with confidence and inspiration; he never sold out to openly mainstream music.

Introduction gone, I must say GLORY ROAD is a masterpiece, along with MR. UNIVERSE. His band here is at full speed, full of confidence and brilliantism. Perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hadr rock cannot get better than this!!, November 25, 2002

This is IAn Gillan releasing album after album better than Deep Purple's BURN, STORMBRINGER and COME TASTE THE BAND. THis is Ian Gillan at his hard rocking best, with energy and force, using his powerful lungs as a huge machine at the services of rock and roll.

The songs are fantastic, there are bluesy moments like IF YOU BELIEVE, everything is in tune. Guitarrist Bernie Torme never again regained such status as when he was playing with Gillan (he was the first name chosen to replace Randy Rhoads in Ozzy Osbourne's band, when Randy died).

YOu can't go wrong with this one: it's hard rock at its best!

4.0 out of 5 stars A minor hard rock masterpiece, February 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Glory Road (Audio CD)

This is a really strong record. The opening track, "Unchain Your Brain", is a great speed metal opening jolt in the tradition of "Speed King", "Fireball" and "Highway Star", and the intensity level is pretty consistent throughout. "On The Rocks", in particular, is a great metal epic.

Just to keep things interesting there are a couple of lighter moments--the pretty ballad "Time and Again" and the wonderful blues workout "If You Believe Me"-- a song only Gillan could deliver. The cd bonus tracks are all pretty good, too.
