In A Silent Way

18 minute long song?? No.

Miles Davis’ In a Silent Way is a landmark in jazz fusion but can sometimes come across as more technically proficient than captivating. The album features a blend of jazz and ambient influences, showcasing Davis' innovative use of electric instruments and extended improvisations. While the title track and others display intricate arrangements and a sophisticated approach, the overall mood can feel subdued and lack the excitement of Davis' more dynamic works.

Definitely liked the vibes this album brought. Don’t think it was for me though, didn’t end up adding either to the playlist but for 38 minutes it was a good time.

I have no idea what I just listened to.

no me gusta el jazz

Makes my atoms feel like they’re in the wrong place

Tässä yhdistyy taituruus jonkinlaiseen atmosfääriseen himmailuun. Aikaansa edellä, sanottaisiin. En vain ole lainkaan kiinnostunut kuuntelemaan.

People who enjoy this must be really crazy or retarded. I wanna puke.

2 tracks which drag for 38 minutes. The sort of music that just makes you feel angry that you have to endure this simultaneously screechy, painful, slow and boring album. There is variety in the 2 tracks but it is all horrible

Not a trumpet fan

too much jazz

Ruim demais tu ta maluco

Did not listen, there's no lyrics and the instrumentals aren't my cup of tea

Too disorganised

Not into it

Nope, just no, skipped

Not for me.

Not my thing

If peeing your pants is cool...

Love the intro, the rest of the album is kind of meh

Je comprends pas le Jazz, plus jamais :')

Not my thing.

A bit busy and unfocused

There was not even 30 seconds I enjoyed.

No thanks

Not bad, but not my fav

I love you Miles, I'm sorry I rated this so low.

Meh?

Not my genre, just absolutely nothing for me

Bardzo staram się być open-minded i wmówić sobie że jazz jest OK, ale mam już prawie 40 lat i wciąż nie czaję jak można tego słuchać.

Zzzzzz This album was pretty lackluster for me. The first song, shhh/Peaceful, played off the same two cords the whole time. Which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't an 18 minute song. It got very old and almost annoying. In a silent way wasn't as stagnant but it was still way too slow for my tastes

I really don't have the time.

Not another Miles Davis album.... How many of these are on this list? This will be my third album of his reviewed thus far. This is the album right before Bitches Brew, which I reviewed a week ago. This is the start of that exploratory/experimental electric jazz that he continued to explore on Bitches Brew. I didn't enjoy it last week, and I still don't enjoy it today. The trumpet is an instrument fashioned by the devil to irritate the fuck out of people, and give them headaches; At least when the player is "experimenting" with the sounds it can make. If you're playing in a register that only dogs can hear, you can fuck off with your shrill sounding trumpet. I've learned that Herbie Hancock played keyboard on the first song, Shhh/Peaceful. That could explain why I disliked that song more than the second song. At least this album only consisted of 2 "songs" at 20 mins a piece, so it was over relatively quickly, but my God, how hard is it to have an idea, shape it into a song with a hook, and a structure, and record it? I like some smooth jazz, but this experimental bullshit is just garbage. Bad enough that they included 1 of these shitty albums, but 2? Fuck off. Favourite song: In A Silent Way, I guess... Least favourite song: by process of elimination, Shhh/Peaceful 1/5

don't like this at all

I must not like jazz. This was way too random and dull for my taste.

No thanks

Ya like Jazz? ;) ...no. I don't know what I was expecting from a track titled, "Shhh/Peaceful", but it somehow wasn't the most boring one.

Ну меня заебало на 13 минуте. Прям не мое

Thankfully, there were only two tracks available on Spotify and they were both bloody awful.

Jazz fusion I think. Just have my cup of tea.

No thank you miles 2 stupidly unnecessarily long shite songs does not make an album

Not silent enough

boring

3/10

what the hell am i even listening to here

Sorry - couldn’t listen to it all. Jazz trumpet just isn’t my bag y’know? It’s not jazz, it’s me. I’m sure I’m a different time and place, smoking gauloise and drinking red wine I might find it more tolerable….but alas not today.

Oops.. couldn't get through it.

Gepingel. Ik denk dat dit pure Jazz is, maar niet zo mijn ding. Iets te vaag. *

Das ist mir zu dünn

Jazz - meh.

i'm sorry but I barely lasted a minute before feeling like it certainly isn't an album for me.

Me entusisamaron las criticas que lei antes de escuchar este disco y habiendo escuchado kind of blue hace un tiempo pense en encotrarme algo mas fusion mas rock, pero es algo timido en ese sentido, es basicamente es lo que se podria esperar de parte de Miles pero apenas... mas electronico, me reservo los puntos para el proximo que Miles publico, pitches...

I just don't get this.

Sadly did not enjoy this album at all. It felt out of rhythym at times.

A two song album spanning almost 40 minutes... A bit too experimental for me, especially the organ/synthesizers

Haven't really got the taste for jazz yet

I love Miles Davis but don't love this album. The guitar bugs me.

Álbum (?) bueno, aunque sentí que las dos canciones eran básicamente la misma.
