Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
1973 - f you’re a diehard fan of the group and not too interested in any great diversification from their old style, Made In Japan is an assured treat. For Made In Japan is Purple’s definitive metal monster, a spark-filled execution of the typical Purple style.

All Music
But those extended workouts, particularly the moody "Child in Time," with Gillan's haunting falsetto wail and Blackmore's amazingly fast playing, and "Space Truckin'," with Lord's organ effects, maintained the onslaught, making this a definitive treatment of the band's catalog and its most impressive album.

Head of Metal
2015 - By the time they’re finished with just those three songs, you’re transported into the middle of the crowd and getting the feeling that something special is definitely happening.

2016 - Made in Japan is overlong, overindulgent classic hard rock that pulls out all of the stops and shows what this group of legends sounded like on stage together in their prime. ... Absolute highest recommendation for all Deep Purple fans.

2012 - The album comes to a close with a spectacular and nearly 20-minute version of “Space Truckin,’’ .... Just when you think the song is drawing to a close, one of the band members takes off in a new direction. This is probably the definitive version of this often-played hard-rock classic.

As a boxed set of music, Made In Japan is a home run.

Friggin' great. The ultimate live metal album, and quite possibly the only live metal album you need so badly.

Louder Sound
Purple are at the height of their powers, straddling an indelicate line between intense and indulgent, monstrous-sounding and meandering. It helped that the concept of a rock band playing gigs in the far-flung Far East was impossibly exotic in the early 70s, giving the album a real cachet.

John McFerrrin Music Reviews
In short, if you care about rock'n'roll or heavy metal at all, you need this. PS: My attitude towards this album actually improved over the years

Record Collector Magazine
Now considered one of the great live albums in rock – and perhaps the greatest of Deep Purple’s works – in 1972

Head Heritage
2002 - recordings of three concerts in Osaka and Tokyo between August 15 and 17 of 1972 were collated and issued as the double live album, “Made In Japan” which is represented here in its entirety on the first disc while disc two of this 2-CD set holds three shit-storming encores from the same series of concerts

Back Seat Mafia
2014 - the definitive release by a very good band, making it Deep Purple’s equivalent of At Budokan, Live and Dangerous and Stop Making Sense, and that’s not bad thing

The Obelisk
Their mark on heavy rock, and rock in general, is indelible, and while Made in Japan isn’t in itself the reason for that, it’s certainly the line that underscores the point.

Deep Purple’s Made In Japan represents one of the world’s most visceral and energetic rock bands captured at their pinnacle performance-wise.

2014 - Made In Japan is a must for any collection whether you are a die hard rock fan or not and the deluxe edition download is an interesting version!

Planet Rock
Made In Japan's brilliance is that it somehow managed to bottle the pure essence of what Deep Purple really were better than any of their records before or since. Everything great about the band is right here in one electrifying 76 minute journey.
