I've always enjoyed A Love Supreme, but I think it's a bit overrated. There are better Coltrane albums out there, like Interstellar Space or some of the live albums like Live In Japan.

Another thing I could never understand is why people consider this album "avant garde jazz". Although there is some overlapping tonality throughout the album, it still sounds very melodic and inside.

I'd probably give the album a 4/5.
