i especially like the part where every second of this sounds the same

go be a contrarian somewhere else :]

i know right? isn't that cool?

@Gyromania
Get out.

i really love a love supreme but most of his and miles' stuff is so bloody homogeneous. mingus' sinner lady is so good because it actually has variety of sounds and instruments. idc how technically proficient a jazz artist is at their craft, if it all bleeds together it's boring to listen to

Album Rating: 5.0

lmao gyro gtfo

tbh it sounds like you just don't like this kind of music then, which is fine

it's just comparable to criticizing grind for having too much blasts and screaming; like that's kind of what the genre sounds like

You don't listen to a lot of jazz if you think this is and most of Coltrane's and Davis' music is "bloody homogeneous". Hell, I'm not an expert but even I wouldn't say that, lol.

you can skip to any single moment on this album and it will sound the exact same as the last. i just jumped through it like 9 times at different points and it still sounded like the same piece of music. i just don't know how people can actively listen to something like this. movies, games, music at a club? awesome. great potential for atmosphere, but going for a walk or putting this on to sit down and listen to is maddeningly boring

Dear God.

bitch's brew isn't homogeneous, neither is sinner lady, or a love supreme (okay kinda for this one but it still rules), but overall this is just bloody boring

again dude, that's just yr dislike for jazz sticking out

i listen to trane's bop stuff pretty regularly in an "active way," whatever that is

I cause a shitstorm. Yay me!

by that i mean sitting down and just listening to it. not using it as background music or whatever, just sitting down for an hour and focusing on the music... which is basically the same thing over and over and over again

Are The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, A Love Supreme and Bitches Brew jazz for people who don't like jazz or something?

i would throw this on at a party maybe, or at a bar, or maybe even while i'm cooking. but i can't see someone sitting there playing this thinking 'oh man i love this moment coming up'

i'm not trying to talk down to you when i say this, but that's exactly how i felt when i was taking drum lessons at 14 and my drum teacher kept pushing me to listen to more jazz

idk what clicked one day, but i can listen to this in the same way i would anything else i have rated this high

that's the thing, it just sounds like tinny drums and some dude wailing on a saxophone, occasionally switching to classical piano. there's hardly any melody or variety on offer. sure some of these guys are crazy good at these instruments but that's just what it sounds like to me: someone playing an instrument, with some accompany drums and piano. maybe it's just not my thing. i like albums like black saint because the songs actually have some structure. the first song, for example, goes through movements and has a wicked outro. this doesn't seem to have any highs or lows from what i can gather. i've had it on for 20 minutes now and i can't distinguish a single moment from the next.

wait is this your first time listening to this?
