1974 - Deep Purple’s first album since last year’s departure of vocalist Ian Gillan and bassist/composer Roger Glover is a passable but disappointing effort.

Metal Storm
There is nothing special or interesting about it.

Ultimate Classic Rock
'Burn' is quite simply a colossal album that gets better with every year that passes

John McFerrin Music Reviews
I can't believe I've listened to this album as many times as I have this week. Just find the title track and "Mistreated," and screw the rest.

Pretty average, this one. The days of finger-flashing are gone by, and this one might even please everybody's parents...

Back Seat Mafia
2017 - It’s a reassuringly weighty example of 70s rock, and the flecks of soul and funk influences on top of the hard rock formula give it its own unique identity in the Deep Purple cannon.

Rocktopia
2017 - 'Burn', the album, has everything. From the driving title track to the simple but very effective "Mistreated" (...) it's a Rock fans dream.

Rough Edge
It's still not a bad CD, by any measure, but it's not a great one, either. The remastering helps, making each song sound truly crystal clear, the bonus tracks are interesting if not fascinating (or 100% necessary), and the liner notes make truly insightful reading.

The hot poop is that after ten albums the Purps have a lead singer with soulish roots who can actually write songs. The cold turd is that the music sounds the same, as ominous and Yurrupean as a vampire movie, only not as campy.
