A turning point where the tenacity of blues meets the dynamism of hard rock.
This album is representative of early Whitesnake, and its mature sound lies somewhere between blues rock and hard rock.
This album inherits the blues rock of the 70s while taking on a powerful, arena-like feel. Coverdale's vocals are lustrous and powerful, while Jon Lord's organ and Paice's drums create a heavy groove. "Fool for Your Loving" is a signature track that was later re-recorded and determined the band's direction. The thicker sound and sharper rhythms demonstrate the band's maturity during their transition to hard rock.
