EARMUSIC SPLAT! vinyl album by Deep Purple
Product description
Listeners looking for Deep Purple in a hard rock setting will find that SPLAT! draws on the band’s classic sound while aiming for something heavier rather than simply revisiting the past.
The album was made with producer Bob Ezrin, with the band playing together in the studio. That recording approach gives the release a clear connection to traditional hard rock.
Its concept, from Ian Gillan, considers the end of humanity — or perhaps of Deep Purple — as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence, rather than a straightforward apocalypse.
Strengths
The strongest reason to consider SPLAT! is the combination of a familiar Deep Purple identity with a notably hard and heavy direction. That makes it more relevant to listeners after a forceful rock album than to anyone seeking a softer or purely nostalgic return to the group’s past. The concept also gives the record a thematic thread beyond its sound.
Customer comments are positive about the album’s content and sound, with particular praise for Ian Gillan’s vocals. One listener felt it came closer to the Mark II sound, that is an individual comparison, not a description that every listener will share. These impressions may help if you are choosing by the band’s style, but they do not specify details such as the pressing or the number of discs.
Key features
SPLAT! is a Deep Purple hard rock album released in vinyl format under the EARMUSIC brand. It was made with Bob Ezrin and recorded with the band playing together in the studio. Musically, it draws on the group’s classic sound but is described as one of its hardest and heaviest albums in many years. Its central idea is Ian Gillan’s meditation on an ending understood as a transformation beyond physical existence.
The supplied product dimensions are 30.99 x 1.02 x 30.99 cm, with a listed weight of 639.57 g. These are useful for allowing space in a record collection, though the listing does not provide further pressing or packaging details.
Everyday use
This is a physical-format choice for someone building a vinyl collection or looking to listen to a full Deep Purple album at home. It suits a session centred on hard rock and album-length listening, someone who mainly wants a lighter, background-friendly sound may prefer a different kind of record. Compared with buying music in a digital format, vinyl makes sense when the physical record is part of the appeal, though the available details do not establish what extras, if any, are included.

When it makes sense
Worth considering if you want a Deep Purple vinyl album that connects with the band’s established sound while taking a heavier direction. Not the best choice if you need confirmed details about the pressing, disc count or included extras, as those are not specified here. For a listener choosing primarily by artist, hard rock style and concept, SPLAT! has a clear point of difference from a straightforward nostalgia-led release.
