3.5 greatcharlopiano | August 13th 21

Album starts off amazing, gets kinda stale near the end, but I can definitely see why this is considered a classic.

4.5 superbdidnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | July 13th 20

His hilarious moniker aside, this is a prime example of plain good old school piano led jazz. When piano sits at the helm in a jazz composition, it somehow immediately feels more relaxed, even if the tempo is upbeat and the temper energetic. Corea's magnum opus (and it can be called such, as time has shown it to be one) is a testament to laid-back jazzmanship, even though the tunes and the groove can get nasty and rowdy.

4.0 excellentGamamJ | June 23rd 20

Dude shreds away on the piano like a madman, and the drummer and bassist are no slouches either. Atonal note
choices and weird scale choices join together with polyrhythms and all sort of craziness to make a jazz
masterpiece. Every musician is madly skilled, and is not scared to show it, the bass and drum fills are incredible.

5.0 classicdanielschauer | July 1st 17

Cemented Chick Corea's place in the jazz canon and, to this day, is still some of the best abstract modal jazz ever recorded by a trio.

4.5 superbgocsa666 | June 1st 16

An influential and important record. Very close to perfection. And let me remind you Chick was only 26 when this came out.
