마일즈 데이비스 - 비치스 브류 총 7개곡 수록, 1시간 45분. 길어!!!!! 재미없어!!!!! 저의 최근 정신병을 고려하면 그런 문제일수도 있지만 뭐랄까 응 한줄평: 시기가 안 좋았다 취향: ★☆☆☆☆ 재방문: ☆☆☆☆☆
Ég viðurkenni að ég var fljótlega búinn að ákveða mig í fyrsta lagi...
I'm not a big fan of this genre of jazz, very experimental and unpredictable. I would much rather simple cafe / slow jazz. I also don't like how long each piece is. The longest piece that I would willingly listen to would have to be under 10 minutes, not 20. However, I do think this music would be fitting in a jazz bar, I would be very keen to experience that sometime!
Onwards to the second song. Repeat of 1st song. Long tuneless and long. There is no escape as it wanders tuneless through your head. Tweet, tweet, biddle be, hoot tweet. And under no circumstances should any of this be enjoyable. 3rd song only 17 minutes. I have only gave them my name rank and serial number.
not for me
I just can’t do the improvisational jazz.
Far too abstract to be enjoyable, this record is allergic to the notion of musical hooks, resulting in a swirling mass of seemingly chaotic sound with very little to latch on to. Its abandonment of conventional tonality is so severe that it's frankly unpleasant to listen to.
Apparently i was served up jazz week this week. I'm sure it's good and technically proficient and all that, but it's just way too much.
kinda stressful to listen to, sounds just like any other jazz music, not for me
Don’t care who it is. Fuck jazz. There’s only so many notes you can hit with a trumpet. Just fuck off man 20 minutes for the first song and 26 for the other. Get a grip man. I’m pissed at the guy who decided this list, stop shoving jazz down my throat Negative stars if I could
More like Bitches Poo, am I right?
No song should be 20 minutes long.
No jazz thank u
2 Hours of my life i’m not getting back. Don’t remember a single thing that happened in this album. AWFUL
Overhyped improv
I find this style of jazz too discordant and scattered. The lack of structure puts me on edge.
Everything I've ever said about jazz is true.
I know this is good, because so many who understand it have said how good it is. But it just isn't for me. I've tried. I've really tried, just cant get into it, for the most part. To me it sounds like a planned and rehearsed cacophony of sounds and its the point. But its not entertaining to me. and an hour 45 mins, is a long time with something not entertaining.
I did not finish it. I am sure it is genius, but it is too contemporary with no discernable melody or beat. One star
actually fuck this album, this was so bad
Einfach nur brutal anstrengend und viel zu lang. Kann ich leider wirklich nichts mit anfangen.
Ich habs nicht zuende gehört. Es ging nicht, war mir zu anstrengend.
Was ich bei diesen Jazz-Alben regelmäßig ganz schlimm finde und hier ganz besonders, ist, dass ich persönlich damit überhaupt nichts anfangen kann, wohlwissend, dass es dennoch astreines Handwerk ist, das wahrscheinlich den Musiklehrern Pipi in die Augen treibt. Aber für mich einfach nur Tortur, ganz besonders bei einer solchen Länge der Stücke wie hier.
An awful, messy composition of jazz that gave me an actual headache. Easily one of the worst album I’ve gotten on here.
Album jazzowy i co ja mam na to powiedziec?
What the fuck
I didn't get in to it at all. An incredible amount of ideas and great players, but as a musical piece, it bored me
I dont get jazz, it does not have a structure, clearly marked motiff/melody, each instrument sounds like playing independently from the rest. Maybe diving deeper into understanding jazz will change my mind, but for now im not interested in it. 3/10
I like jazz, but this didn’t connect with me. Sorry, Miles.
only got one full song in; i liked the last miles davis album i listened to but this just did not do it for me at all
Wow, nothing could have prepared me for this, sounded like they were warming up the whole way through 😮
Really Really not for me - don't see the appeal. Although I spoke with Alex at the podcast and he mentioned that it's not his best work but the appeal of Miles was that he was there for it all, through every generation - so maybe some context would make me enjoy it more..
it was actually so obnoxious i could barely listen to it
nu migdebt 7 simgerian albomebs 2 saati rom grdzelfeba nuuuuuuu!!!!! rasqvia erti dimgera 20 wutiania
I don't like jazz. I appreciate that they're amazing instrument players but I can't get on with it at all
I had to force myself to listen to this one all the way through. I like and have owned Kind of Blue but this one is just too experimental for me. Maybe he's a genius and maybe it's way over my head but that was a rough listen.
Time to officially come to terms with the fact that I’ll never like this kind of jazz. I tried! The long meandering stuff is not for me. I liked ‘birth of cool’ but I couldn’t get into this.
Background music while pottering around the kitchen. It’s obviously very good but it is not something I am likely to listen to often. 1.5 for me.
I want to like this, but it’s too long and too weird. I was right the first time around.
Absolute dogwater. For no reason songs are 17 minutes. And it’s not even good. It sounds like every other jazz album ever.
Shit
I can say with confidence, I’ve never enjoyed listening to an album less than this.
ermmmm
not for me. never again.
Mais c'est long sa mère 😳
Feio was especially unpleasant. This album was such a slog to get through. I definitely expected something much better from the creator of cool jazz.
psychedelic jazz might be where i draw the line
1/5
i can'ttt, trop expérimental pour moi j'ai pas la fibre, surtout les morceaux de 25min... peut-être que le metro n'était pas le setting idéal
Just as annoying, painful and unlistenable as his last album in this challenge
Um. Not for me.
Nope. If this was put on at a party I’d leave. Kind of Blue is one of my favourite albums but I just don’t enjoy listening to jazz-fusion. I saw the album was 75 mins long and after listening to it for a while I thought “at least I must be a good way through the album now!” It turned out I was only ten minutes in, and that’s only half way through the first track. Sanctuary was pretty ok, but overall not my thing.
Jazz is not for me
Paso Como que dos horas de Revolution 9
По случайности не написал отзыв к альбому «Hounds Of Love“ Kate Bush а также „1984“ Van Halen. „Hounds Of Love“: Дата Прослушивания: 16.01.2026 Время: наверное, перестану писать(я забыл). Первую композицию узнал в течение первых 10 секунд, популярный сериал от Нетфликс сделал свое дело. Данная композиция неплохая, но не мое. Остальные же песни мне также не понравились. Многие композиции мне было неприятно слушать, а несколько прям больно. Альбом мне не понравился. Не мое. „1984“: Дата прослушивания: 17.01.2026 Время:(я не помню)) Данный альбом мне понравился немного больше, чем Kate Bush и ее „Hounds Of Love“. Что-то из альбома мне показалось знакомым, но не больше. Это музыка не для меня. Она грубая, напористая, количество звуков огромное, и все на кучу. Это, наверное тот вид музыки, который слушают лысые, бородатые мужики xD. Прочитал чуть чуть про саму группу, как оказалось это легендарная группа(как я понял). К сожалению даже легендарность исполнителя не дает гарантии, что мне понравится. Может, когда-то я и буду слушать такое, но не сейчас. Теперь к оценке „Bitches Brew“ Miles Davis: Дата прослушивания: 17.01.2026 Время: после «1984». Мне хочется сказать, что „Bitches Brew“ ужасный альбом, а может я не понимаю. Весь альбом я слушал не более 5 минут. Каждая мелодия это для меня непонятный напор звуков, которые мне неприятен. Очень странно. Очень странно! Мне не понравилось.
I still don't like jazz. Sorry
Not sure what emotion he was going for with this one. Anxiety? Disorientation? Either way it’s incomprehensible
"Bitches Brew" by Miles Davis is an album I approached with high expectations, as I generally love his music. Unfortunately, this one didn't resonate with me at all. It's extremely experimental and not even remotely comparable, in my view, to masterpieces like "Kind of Blue". I'd never listened to this album before and was genuinely surprised - sadly in a negative way - by just how different it is from the Miles Davis records I know and enjoy. The album leans heavily into experimentation with a wide range of instruments, frequent tempo changes, and a great deal of dissonance. The only song I truly enjoyed is "Miles Runs The Voodoo Down" which goes more into the classic jazz genre. The rest feels like the kind of music that only someone with a very trained musical ear can fully appreciate. I'll probably not return to this album in the future.
MEH. I like jazz too so i'm pretty disappointed that this didn't hook me
Jazz - not my thing
Did nothing for me. I never even knew when one song had ended and another had begun. Just background noise.
Turns out I really don’t like jazz
Es war schon schlimm, als ich sah, was kam … und es wurde schlimmer. Bitches Brew von Miles Davis ist ein wirres Klanggewitter, das sich in endlosen Improvisationen verliert. Statt musikalischer Tiefe gibt es hier nur chaotisches Durcheinander, das weder fesselt noch berührt. Die Stücke ziehen sich wie Kaugummi, ohne Richtung, ohne Struktur – ein Paradebeispiel dafür, wie man Jazz in ein unhörbares Experiment verwandelt. Für Fans von Harmonie, Melodie und musikalischer Klarheit ist dieses Album eine Tortur. Ein Meilenstein? Vielleicht. Aber einer, über den man lieber nicht stolpert.
Look, I know who Miles Davis is so I wasn't surprised by the genre but also dear god this is a hard listen. Maybe I'd get around it if they were playing live and I was on a first date in a dark bar that may or may not let me smoke weed while I sip cocktails, but I cannot listen to this any other time. I couldn't even listen to this for sleep because it'll be all chill and then the horns come screeching in with no warning. I will not be listening again
You don’t have to be affected by drugs and alcohol to listen to this, but I think it might help… When I listened to the first track I was ready for a whiskey sour and a pack of sobranie blacks…. but very quickly I found myself wondering if I just didn’t get Miles and after the mammoth 27minute titular track I wasn’t sure what had just happened - much like waking with hangxiety after a wild night and not sure what happened the previous evening… I actually enjoyed moments when I leant into it and didn’t overthink it, but I value being sober too much to listen to this album again!
Nope. I recognize that Miles Davis is a legend, but it wasn't for me.
I really don’t have any right to rate this, I just don’t understand it. I’ll trust the jazz cats when they say it’s great, but it’s not an enjoyable listen for me.
To jazzy
I've tried to like jazz for years without success, this didn't help. It sounds like next doors teenager got some instruments for Christmas and keeps on practicing. If I'd paid for this I'd be heartbroken. A solid 1 star with another one on offer if he ever learns all the notes and what order to play them in.
"Random note generator" style of Jazz. Improvisational & all over the friggen place like a mad woman's shit. Hardly melodic, but definitely hard going.
Pretty much unlistenable. And I like jazz.
It gets 1* for an excellent album title.
I couldn’t make it through the album
Not my cup of cha…
Not for me
Bring back Bill Evan’s
All the songs sounded the same, and too long for each one. First one I'd say I didn't enjoy
Tää oli eka levy mitä ei pystynyt edes ”raivolla” kuuntelemaan… Annoin mahdollisuuden, mutta kestin ekaa eeposta seitsemän minuuttia. Ei pystynyt, liian hapokasta.
instrumental, but i don't like those sharp trumpets, nor the overall melody
Still dont like jazz
Not my bag
Just impenetrable
This is the worst kind of jazz. A bunch of musicians making loosely connected noise with their various instruments such that you can't follow any of it.
Ach du mmeine Güte, Jazz liebe ich aber das??
Too experimental jazzy
Just unlistenable for me, first track was only one I found slightly interesting but never found it more difficult to get through an album.
kunde inte lyssna klart. gillar Miles Davis men det var för kaotiskt för mig
escuche 3 canciones xq duran 20 min. osea esta bien para musica de fondo pero dsp ñe
Too out there for me. Freedom and improvisation are idiomatic of jazz performance, but I take exception with employing those idioms in the production process of a jazz record. It undermines the authenticity of jazz itself. Sorry.
perhaps the best example of the sound i'm talking about when i say jazz makes me feel like my atoms are in the wrong place
Listen I know this makes me an uncultured heathen or whatever but I don't Get this album. I've listened to it multiple times in an attempt to understand and I find it so spiky and unenjoyable.
More jazz — and more Miles Davis! I really don’t have much to say about this one, other than it’s bloody long and I really struggled to get through it. I just don’t enjoy jazz, especially the more experimental kind, and this album didn’t change my mind. Favourite track: I couldn’t pick one. Least favourite track: Honestly, they all blend into background music for me — I can barely tell the difference between them. Album artwork: A really cool cover, and definitely the best thing about this album.
This sound just gave me anxiety. Not a fan
I mean just for starters it's at LEAST an hour too long. Additionally a significant percentage of that overlong runtime was physically painful for me to listen to. I wish I could give this at least two or three stars to pretend I'm enlightened enough to appreciate what apparently a lot of intelligent and respectable people consider a groundbreaking masterpiece but given the number of times I seriously considered turning it off and making it my first DNF album and possibly also throwing my phone across the room I would feel too dishonest doing so. At least it's over now thank God
- Ich bin kein Fan von experimentellem Jazz - Ist mir sogar zu stressig für den Hintergrund also werde ich sehr wahrscheinlich nicht mehr hören - Und die Lieder sind einfach viel zu lang, ich habe von jedem Song maximal 5 Minuten ausgehalten (Top)song: John McLaughlin (weil am kürzesten)
Improv/jam albums just sound like long winded noodling. Not to my taste. Could only do 1 song
Year 9 music lesson, but the teacher pulls a sicky and everyone 'has a go' A bit shit considering how good the other Miles Davis album was
Miles Davis goes electric - and it's crap
Certainly many 20 minutes songs of someone tooting their horn
I just don't like jazz, period
Nope
What a bummer for this to be my album #300. I guess Jazz just doesn't work for me. And that's okay. I endured 30 minutes of this and won't force myself through the rest of it.
Miles Davis is an amazing musician, I'm just not that into instrumental jazz. Best song: John McLaughlin
This is not music I can sit with. It’s noise wearing a mask. Maybe it is genius, I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter if I can’t make it past twenty-two minutes without grinding my teeth. The improvisational sprawl is relentless. A towering achievement for someone else, but pure torture for me. Spins: 0.20952380952 (roughly 2 minutes into the second track, I dipped). Playlist Additions: - John McLaughlin (because it's only 4m long).
I just cannot connect with this sorry but It really sounds like some children have been given some musical instruments to play with!
I do not like jazz
Sounds like 5 shitty, totally unrelated songs being played over each other. And oh yeah, it’s almost 2 hours of this nonsense. Don’t do drugs kids. A torturous cacophony of misplayed notes and unharmonious “experimentation” disguised as high art. I don’t trust anyone that says they genuinely enjoy this.
I hung on till the bitter end waiting for a break through moment. I wanted to find something to be surprised by and take away. Sadly that did not happen.
If your music comes with the instructions of “trust me…you’ll eventually like it”, or “give it multiple listens, and then I’ll think you’ll get it”…you’ve already lost. This album fails for those very reasons and is a good example of why jazz gets a bad rap, regardless of how good the players are. There’s a lot of good jazz out there, but this snooty, sanctimonious, cacophonous shit ain’t it. Now…I think I’ll go drink a proper brew.
The first song sounded like 20 minutes of an orchestra warming up. Second song didn’t get much better. And they both just made me feel agitated and anxious. I didn’t make it to disc 2.
I thought I was pretty cool back in the day when I picked up this vinyl cuz the internet told me it was a masterpiece. I don't think I made it through one song back then and this is probably my first time revisiting in like 15 years. And you know what? I don't like it. I mean, who is this for? You wouldn't put it on for a dinner party, a regular party, casual get together with friends, or just for some leisurely listening. This albums is for peeps who want to sit alone with Hi-Fi speakers/headphones so they can lecture peeps on experimental jazz. That's not my tempo. I was considering rounding up cuz it is Miles Davis and obviously important to lots of people, but naw. 1.5/5
Музыка: 2/10 Разнообразие: 2/10 Тематика и вайб: 2/10 Цепляемость (отдельные песни зашли): 1/10 Реиграбельность (можно ли рандомно врубить на фон): 2/10 Итог: 0.9
Fuck jazz. Fuck experimental jazz, in particular.
rædsom 1
That's sexist bullshit.
okay, 7 songs and an hour 45?!?!?!?!
not a huge fan of jazz... lol
It was like it would never end. got a little over halfway through and just couldnt finish it.
This is just a weird album, I know how great Miles was and how talented he was. However this album just sounds like everyone sat in a room for two hours playing whatever they wanted to while someone recorded it.
I don't like jazz
I can confirm that I really don’t like jazz
didn't really listen, didn't like the first few songs so
cool isntrumental album ig
Awful noise.
I'm sure this is well loved by many, but I legit cannot stand jazz. This long ass, meandering album put me in a foul mood.
One hour and 45 minutes of pure torture for me. I do not like jazz. It all sounded the same. I know Miles Davis is good at what he does; it’s just not for me.
2/10
I hate jazz music so goddamn much. I want to punch my phone just to stop the noise. And it's almost TWO HOURS LONG?! Zero stars. Just to be clear, I'm only ten minutes into the first song but I'm voting now because I know it ain't gonna get any better. Wish me luck as I try to endure the rest of this so called 'music'.
Yikes
I tried, I really tried but when I checked how much longer was left and I was only on the second song I had to give up. I hope that this is the only one I’m not able to finish but here it is. This should have negative stars.
DNF. While I don't doubt the virtuosity of Miles Davis and company on this album, I can't abide this cacophonous music.
👐 - never again is too soon! Don’t get me wrong - I know he’s a genius and the musicians are masterful. I absolutely condone the album being on the list. I just don’t have the sensibilities for experimental jazz with no structure or anything to hold onto. I don’t need to feel any more adrift than I already do.
nope nope nope
Over 90 minutes of jam sessions cluttered by so many instruments that is borders on incoherence. More of an endurance test than anything. Excess just for the sake of excess is not innovative.
Oh my god!!! Make it stop!!!
Couldn't make it past the first track. Maybe it makes me a heathen, or less intellectual, but freeform experimental jazz just make by brain hurt and me ears bleed.
30 seconds of this made my heart rate spike. those were certainly some 20 minute long experimental jazz songs!
This just sounds like a lot of noise to me. It feels like the musical equivalent of several people doodling a bunch of random stuff on their own pieces of paper, and then haphazardly affixing the pages together and calling it art. Perhaps these doodlers are even talented artists, but the finished product has zero structure and makes no sense as a whole. Also, this was painfully long. Whatever Miles was brewing here, it was really tough to swallow.
This Album was not particularly interesting to me. I found it quite boring and slow. No standouts.
Terrible
Zu schlau für mich.
Man this is unlistenable. 90 minutes of the same instruments played randomly
There may be reasons that he is revered, but I can't suss them out by listening to this album. All is cacophony and chaos. If someone else thinks that it's music, more power to them.
experimentieler jazz, nein
So, A friend of mine told me that she believes that Miles Davis' music just sounds like noise, while i don't see that with Birth Of The Cool, Kind Of Blue, or In A Silent Way. I absolutely do see it with Bitches Brew. This album was just so unbelievably noisy with hardly any work done in actually composing any of the songs properly made this album genuinely painful for me to listen to. I would have disliked this album if it were just 30 minutes but it goes the extra mile and adds an hour to that runtime which made me so relieved once it finally came to an end. Miles Davis has made some decent albums before this one so to see him drop the ball this hard is just insane. Best Song: Sanctuary Worst Song: Bitches Brew Side note: Because i have now done every Miles Davis album on this project, here is my ranking of all of them 1. In A Silent Way 2. Kind Of Blue 3. Birth Of The Cool 4. Bitches Brew
Für meine Ohren nur belangloses Getute und Geklimpere ohne Struktur.
Trumpet player here. This is the type of jazz I hate. Formless, trilling nonsense. It's not hard to make those noises. Music for super pretentious people to ne able to tell others "you just don't get it". I couldn't make it through Disc 1.
Miles middelish
Not his best
Blows me away. Is he practicing or playing. Not into this at all. Like "Fussion" Jazz. Real mind blowing at best.
Lobotomized dying elephant getting his clitty violated
Unfortunately, I hate jazz music.
Read the word jazz, then saw the art and shuddered. Nobody would have art like that on a jazz album and not have the album be free flowing jazz. Pros: Album name Cons: Album
The second track killed it for me. 27 minutes is too long and the trumpet was too high pitched. I didn't go any farther
a bit noisy
I really don’t like jazz
I don't have the tools to engage with this properly. It seems more scattered than Kind of Blue was but that might just be familiarity. I didn't stick with it
это было очень сложно
“I actually left running for my life—more than once.” - Frances Davis, one of the ex-wifes he abused
Mind you even if the genre says it’s jazz, it’s actually different from your traditional jazz that you’d expect, it’s some kind of weird experimental jazz that I did not vibe with at all
Jazz sucks. Not music, its noise
No, no no no no no no no no no, no thanks no, hell noh
I tried, I really did but it’s just not for me.
Much too experimental, even for me.
I love jazz and I love Miles Davis but I didn't love this. I'd be perfectly happy skipping this phase of Davis' career.
Thanks, I hate it. Fave Track: Spanish Key Rating: 1
Hated it - why do I want to listen to something that accurately portrays my brain?
I have tried appreciating this album a dozen or more times. I have owned it on vinyl for five years or so and probably put it on at least twice per year. Every time, I think I might finally hear what people like about this album. I mean, it’s Miles Davis; it’s got a cuss word in the title; the album art is rad; the other players on it are a who’s who of jazz fusion greats; it’s got super long songs, which I typically am all about. But every time I put this on I’m like Charlie Brown getting the football pulled out from under him before he can kick it. I never cease to hate this album no matter how many times I put it on thinking “this time is different. This time I’m going to get ‘Bitches Brew’!”. Whatever it is that makes people like this album, I just can’t hear it. I think it’s because I like songs and music and this is just noise and sounds. Noise albums feel really lazy to me. Like, it is hard work to put letters together to make words, and words together to make sentences. But words and sentences make sense. What if instead there were “noise authors” who put out a book that read: assajnxoendkcbebdjdgggggggwmenfi!:&;)3!fdgkn$&537!?dvkkknfjebb gg did egxjsbxhchsnshcusnskxjJBgeibej$/$&;8,)2’wuxhnsjejHh&3&:@,$jdndjcksksbdhskebxyzhjGgVnwksodhzhjJ$f7j(4hh64:?$fgytyikbgujjn,&,@/&;$.!€>\€\£$?/73838 for 300 pages? And pretentious nerds were like, “yeah man, I totally get it.” No. Take the time to make your letters form words and your words form sentences. Yes, it’s hard work and there is less time for shooting heroin, but it’s worth it because then you’ve written something people can read and not just a bunch of random characters. “Bitches Brew” is the aural equivalent of a bunch of random characters and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.
I hate jazz
Yeah, no. I just don’t get it. I don’t care if that makes me a philistine.
I just don’t like jazz. I wasn’t able to enjoy this album at all
I like a lot of Miles Davis' work, but not this one. I appreciate it for what it is, but it's not an enjoyable listen.
Noise
Imagine recording this random cacophany of improvisational shit and listening back for the first time. The amount of masturbatory praise in that room alone as they imagined the hordes of imagination bereft soulless idiots that would clamour to exclaim their delight over this work. Jazz is for people who see music as a means to an end. A conversation piece. An opportunity to bluster and gatekeep: Oh, you loved Bitches Brew? Well you must be so cultured. The Emperor is fucking naked everyone! Admit it to yourself, throw this in the bin, and go listen to something with structure, cleverness, and emotional connection.
I'm one of the conformist traditionalists who cannot stand New Miles' fusion stuff.
"Kind of blue" is a masterpiece! ...but this album is way to free-jazz for me. It becomes more easier to take in halfway through. But for me to listen to it i have to just let the music flow and not try to keep up with the solos. I feel like this has strayed from technical to "wierd for wierd's sake". Mostly chromatic noodeling gatekept by music critics.
genuinely didn't enjoy this tbh. i love miles davis my kind of blue so much but this was just a lot of noise and no cohesion
Brilliant, I’m sure, but just so not my thing was impossible to enjoy.
Osa B-puolesta oli jazziksi sulatettavaa.
01) Pharaoh's Dance - 3,5 02) Bitches Brew - 3,5 03) Spanish Key - 3,0 04) John McLaughlin - 3,5 05) Miles Runs the Voodoo Down - 3,0 06) Sanctuary - 3,0 TOTAL: 3,25 (33/100) It's an hour and a half of my life I will never get back. But still, I'm willing to sacrifice it so I can say I listened to this probably-worthy album. I wouldn't know. To me, it sounds like sh*t. But then again, I just hate jazz. Thirteen minutes into the song number one, and I already have suicidal/homicidal thoughts. Help me, Lord! Day two... I mean... song number two... Oh wait, this is still song number one... It's been seven hours and fifteen days, and finally, here's song number two. This one is even longer. Still, no structure and no melody can be found. Song #3, my eyes are painfully open, and I want to escape... Song #4 is going on my playlist! Why? Because it's the best, it's only 4 minutes and 23 seconds long! It's been 84 years, but here we are at song number 5. In reality, song number two is still playing, but I'm bored so I'm writing ahead. And I know how this one will sound. Just like the others. 15 minutes of pure cacophony. Are we there yet, did we make it? Is it the end? Can I give my 1 star and go? Yes? Thank you so very much!
Simpelthen ikke musik som er særlig tilgængelige.. Fåk noget pis.
nope not for me
Like a soundtrack to a bad dream. Not pleasant at all, and nearly 2 hours of it!
What's going on with this? The noise is so irritating that it makes me want to slam my van into a wall. Also, it is way too long. If you have 94 minutes to spare, I suggest watching "Shaun of the Dead" or "The Big Lebowski" instead.
I love you Miles, you’re a real mother fucker but I just don’t get this man. I love In a Silent Way but this is too much. I’m sorry.
yikes
I couldn’t finish this. Who wants to listen to nearly 2 hours of elevator music
Stay off drugs, kids. This was not a pleasant or enlightening listen.
Wtf was this? Completely discordant.
This one I don't get at all, definitely no music for me, the first album I skipped after the second track.
Nein, diese Art von Jazz und ich, wir werden keine Freunde mehr. Vielleicht im nächsten Leben.
Would give this -5 if I could. I guess experimental jazz is not for me
too long
Could Not Listen more than one Minute. It is awful
Bottom tenth of the 1,000. Fascinatingly boring.
INSTRUMENTAL JAZZ
Dont get it
I would happily give this less than 1 star. Endless and made me feel anxious.
I kind of liked the other Miles Davis record that I listened to in this list, but I simply do not get this recording.
"You hate jazz? You fear jazz! You fear the lack of rules. The lack of boundaries." I mean, this is mostly nonsense isn't it? In my humble opinion, a lack of any kind of cohesive structure makes for a dull and un-engaging listen, especially if you spread it into a long-form piece. I didn't hate it like I have some other albums, but I have to judge it based on how well it moved and involved me, and that answer is not at all. It sat in the background well enough, and I adopted a face of mild bemusement for the most part while listening to it. Jazz isn't big, and it isn't clever.
Nicht mein Stil
You've heard of word vomit. Ladies and gentlemen I introduced to you music vomit.
1-2
cannot get into it
This is what all music would sound like if each band member was remote and individually dialled in over questionable internet
I don't understand this music. It just sounds like noise to me. Really lacking in composition, cohesion, beat, everything. Didn't enjoy listening to this one at all.
Terrible
Alldeles för stökigt för att vara kul jazz.
Very,very,very bad.I don’t understand the love for this album.It’s almost 2 hours of wailing songs that never seem to go anywhere and never seem to end.I just can’t believe anyone actually listens to it.
I tried. But it seems that I’ll never be able to enjoy Jazz improv. I’m clearly not intelligent or cultured enough.
honestly kind of boring, not really for me, feels very conceptual, very smooth, doesnt really go anywhere
Ikke for meg
При всем уважении к легенде, но что это было? Мне как будто насрали в уши.
Not my type of music.
Bit of a bitch to get through, that Bitches Brew.
Not for me
I started this to expand my musical horizons a bit. Jazz like this is something I never really got and I still don't. I'm sure the individual musicians are very clever but this just sounds like they are all trying to play a different piece of music at the same time.
Na
Weird experimental jazz. Nvm it’s sick like funky jazz
What the hell? This is insane. The whole album just feels like a systems check. Maybe a warmup. Nobody seems to be playing off each other, except maybe the drummer.
Duurt mij allemaal veel te lang
The first song was 20 minutes of clatter. Giving it the second song to redeem itself and then I’m out. Second song was better, but I’m just not feeling the flow or vibe. It all seems just thrown together. Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: none
bah non 26min la musique j'ecoute pas
A little bit too free-form for me. Difficult to listen to as I'm conditioned to expect a track to go somewhere. Birth of the Cool was better, and I'm going to drop this a star for the track lengths.
I didn't find a single thing I liked about this. To me it was an album of ridiculuoisluy long tracks, music that sounded like random noise and an unsuitably long runtime. It is far too expermental and chaotic for my taste. I definitely don't enjoy pure Jazz, just songs that take Jazz influence.
I've listened to some miles Davis in the past, and I'm sure I enjoyed it much more than this. I found this really difficult to get through. I need structure in music. I have no idea where any of this is going and I can't enjoy it because of this. Is stressful 26 minutes is too long for a track! There's no way I would ever choose to listen to any of this again and I didn't enjoy it. Has to be a 1. Probably demonstrates my ignorance
This is the type of Jazz that I just don't get - to me it's chaotic and lacks form, which are probably the same reasons why some people rave about it. Not for me.
Jazz listens would absolutely love this album. Unfortunately, I do not love jazz and can't recommend this album. There are only two issues with this album firstly, no vocals, and secondly retaining attention. To begin, I do not know if all jazz has no vocals, but I do know that this album has none which is a personal gripe because I very much enjoy vocals in music. Vocals add depth and meaning to songs instrumental can only do so much to portray meaning and feeling and in this album, there is a lack of both. Secondly, as it can be very easily seen this album is quite long with only seven songs. That is due to the fact that each song besides one is over ten minutes two of which are over twenty minutes long. The length of the songs would not be a problem if the songs were able to hold the listener's attention which they do not. It was a struggle to retain attention during the songs "Pharaohs Dance," and "Bitche's Brew." Those being the first two songs on the track set the pace for the rest of the album and made for a rather unenjoyable listening experience.
Did not care for this album. At all. When do I get to hear "Kind of Blue"? Is that album on this list? The freeform jazz created for this record gave me a headache that would not go away. Give me a little structure with my jazz, please. I think the heroine had truly taken hold by the time he made this record. If I had a cat and it ran across a piano, I think I would get the same styling of music heard in Bitches Brew.
I gotta respect it, but man, this was unlistenable to me. Probably cool if you like jazz more than me, but as it is, I disliked it. I don't think it's the worst album I've heard, but it's gotta get a one. The length was awful... My favourite song was maybe Miles Runs The Voodoo Down? No idea. All of it was just noise to me, so...
Unfortunately, without watching a jazz group live, I don’t feel like I can make a connection with these recordings. Professionally done, but not my cup of tea.
I know Miles Davis, but this is sad
No. Nobody needs 1 hour 46 minutes of Jazz. NOBODY.
F Pharaoh’s Dance - 1 Bitches Brew - 1 Spanish Key - 1 John McLaughlin - 1 Miles Runs the Voodoo Down - 1 Sanctuary - 2 Miles really thought he could force me to listen to 20 min+ tracks and get more than a 1. Honestly, it's not even the length, this just wasn't interesting jazz. There was way too much going on.
Logboek entry 1: Ik heb het gevoel dat ik er al een hele dag op heb zitten en ik zit pas op driekwart van de eerste track. Dit wordt een lange zit. Tot nu toe kan ik het wel aanhoren, maar ik haal er geen plezier of genot uit. Met vlagen waan ik me die dansende dwerg van Twin Peaks. Logboek entry 2: Gevoelsmatig kijk ik nu 2 dagen later naar de voortgangsbalk in Spotify. Ik kom er achter dat ik pas halverwege track 2 ben. M'n vorige logboek entry was slechts 20 minuten geleden. Opeens snap ik hoe het tijdreizen in Interstellar werkt. Logboek entry 3: Halverwege track 3. Het klinkt inmiddels iets minder alsof de muzikanten los van elkaar aan het warmspelen zijn. Het voelt alleen wel alsof Miles je na het lopen van een marathon uitnodigt om nog even een uurtje te gaan wandelen. Grotendeels berg op, met wind tegen, op verkeerde schoenen. En Miles stapt over het algemeen graag stevig door. Logboek entry 4: Ik zie dat ik net een nummer van 4,5 minuut heb gehad. Bijna gemist. Twee keer knipperen en het is voorbij. Dat vrijwel alle andere artiesten aan 4 minuten genoeg hebben om hun punt te maken; ongelofelijk eigenlijk. Ik voel me alsof de eindstreep in zicht komt, maar de gladiolen worden nog niet in m'n handen gedrukt. Nog iets meer dan een half uur te gaan. Dat is genoeg tijd om te luisteren naar Raw Power van the Stooges, Green River van CCR of Surfer Rosa van Pixies. Allemaal albums waarvoor ik 5 sterren uitdeelde. Het mag voor mij niet zo zijn, Miles heeft nog puf. Logboek entry 5: Sanctuary begon wel aardig, met een beetje een Tournée Générale vibe, maar op het einde ontspoort de trein toch weer. Het laatste beetje zin wat ik had in dit album wordt nu vakkundig weggeblazen. Zometeen als beloning voor mezelf maar even een rustig podcastje opzetten over een misdaad in Drenthe waar ik nog nooit van gehoord heb, o.i.d. Muziek hoeft vandaag niet meer. Logboek entry 6: Over de helft van de laatste track nu. Nog een paar stappen en de reis is voorbij. Miles is er zelf toch ook wel wat moe van merk ik bij de laatste track, en gelukkig maar. Dit album was eens en nooit meer voor mij. Ik ben nu al bang voor de drie andere keren dat ik nog een Miles Davis album ga krijgen. Grote kans dat ik dan eerder afhaak als hij weer met me wil gaan lopen. Met alle respect een 1 van mij voor deze slijtageslag.
ну это преступление
Nope
There's far too much going on. It did me nut in tbh. Bloody racket.
No thanks
Pretty sure this is the soundtrack in hell, you thought 90 mins was long, try eternity heathen!
p196. 1970. 1 star. It's probably technically exquisite but... ffs, do we really need a double album of 70's jazz wankage and 20+ minute shapeless, pointless, free form tracks? There is no difference between this and all those double album prog rock albums from the same era that no-one listens to. Life is too short for this.
Слишком долго чтобы слушать.. наверное прикольно, для кого-то другого
I’m sure this is ✨art✨ but I sure can’t sit through it
I tried. I listened to this album again. I’ve heard it before. It’s been on my mind a ton. I keep trying to figure it out, and I can’t. I don’t get it. The album art work and the beer are amazing. The album is chaos.
I kept wondering what method they used to come up with names for each of these tracks. There is music of his that does it for me. This album missed the mark by a wide swath of bitches.
The 60s did weird things to people. And to music. Take Miles Davis for instance. He birthed the cool at the end of the 50s. But by the end of the 60s he was as deep in the psychedelic, abstract, and avante garde as everyone else. I would say it’s like the cool kid you knew in high school that everyone wanted to be like, but then they got addicted to drugs and became a completely different person. I would, but apparently Davis birthed the cool from heroin binges, so the drugs were there all along.
I didn’t finish the album. I feel bad rating it on a (very) incomplete listen, but I feel like the fact that couldn't finish speaks for itself.
Bitches Brew is an experimental, groundbreaking and very brave album, created by a genius-at-work Miles Davis and his ensemble of top-notch jazz musician of his time. The work is a fusion od modal, experimental and definitely avant-garde jazz, with some early rock and funk influence. Miles' experience is certainly expressed loud and clear on this album - he is not afraid, he knows what he wants from himself and other members, and is working hard to deliver an almost 120 minutes long masterpiece of jazz. On paper it's a recipe for a top album of all time. So what's my opinion? I... don't like it. I really tried, but I don't like it. It's very hard to find a key to understand this album. Obviously compositions here have their own rules and motives, but I can't identify them, or I can, but they are not appealing to me. I am a fan of avant-garde music, I love the chaotic neatness of Fantomas, erratic Igorrr, calmness of Sunn O))). But those band operate in context of completely different genre, that I know and understand so much better than jazz. Probably I am too oblivious to even the simplest examples of the genre, that's why it's harder to find the context. I doubt it, but maybe in the future I will spend much more time exploring nuances and rules of jazz, so that breaking the form and moulding it afresh will be fully appreciated by me. But at the moment, the album is totally incomprehensible for me and both times that I listened to it, I felt like I was being experimentally tortured by music. Maybe next time!
Ugh, I CANNOT endure this - I made it through the first track and realized that the second track was more of the same, so I stopped before it could give me a headache. It seems like a bad jam session with the musicians playing random notes. The trumpet frequently makes off-key squealing and squawking noises that grate on my ears.
Couldn’t even listen, gave it a chance but it was incredibly boring.
Wank
What the heck is this??? There is no rhyme or reason to the music. This is where jazz loses me. It’s not bad to listen to, just not remember able in any way
That was crap...
Far be it from me to criticise Miles Davis, but this is just not for me.
I guess I’m just not in the mood for this right now
i just need lyrics
Urgh stressful
Dog shit
I hated this album when I first heard it 20ish years ago and I still hate it now. I know Miles Davis is a jazz legend. I do enjoy some of his other work, Kind of Blue for instance; but this is just unappealing noise to me. Hell, I even like some true blue noise artists but this just outright turns me off. I know a lot of people love this album and I'm glad that they can get into it but this just isn't the kind of jazz that I enjoy and the near 2 hours of this is like time in the dentist's chair to me. Sorry, Miles. You'll get a much kinder score when Kind of Blue inevitably appears as my album of the day.
If I could vote 0 stars I would. This is not music, this is fucking noise. The start of the second track sounds like the crazy music from Vuvla's show in Spaced.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APjDtBNZiNA
two days after having a miles davis album that was excellent we've decended back into some incomprehensible madness. feels like i've accidentally taken some sort of hallucinogenic.
First album I didn't want to finish, was just noise not music
Jazz ...
Unfortunately not for me.
Very long songs. Not the kind of jazz I listen to
"Kom! We pakken er allemaal ons instrument bij, en dan gaan we gewoon lekker ieder voor zich wat zitten aankloten!" Je bent echt een snob als je blijft volhouden dat dit briljant is.
Hier past slechts: OMG!
This is the worst kind of jazz
Dit is mij veel teveel hard-core Jazz. Leuk dat het de muzikanten vrij staat om te doen wat ze willen, maar zoals Hans Teeuwen ooit zei "ongeinspireerde bagger". Het kan mij niet bekoren in ieder geval, haha. *
Arrhgg, 25 min long jazz improv.. Shoot me now.
Rotete jazz pretensiøst
This is one of the worst albums I have ever had the misfortune to hear. As Tony Wilson said, ‘Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does.’ He had a point!
This is going to be a very divisive statement but screeching trumpets and other brass instruments are just awful sounding and give me a pounding headache. There is NO way I am going to make it thru the 1st 20+ minute song on this album let alone its entire playtime of 1 hour 45 minutes. It's a no from me.
Not a fan of scatty jazz
Some jazz album
Jazz is not my bag
I've never been a lover of freestyle jazz type stuff. I like rhythm and order. This is not for me.
I took a semester of jazz quiz and sang “I Fuckin Love Watchin You Piss” in Louis Armstrong’s voice in Ross’ room every day. I will not subjugate myself to listening to any more free form no-vocal jazz music. This is one star and anyone who says otherwise can answer to Larry Dwyer himself.
Jazz ain't for me
It's jazz. If you like sitting around your house listening to smooth instrumental jazz then this is for you. I don't so it's not for me. If I were at a jazz club and they played it there then I'd be ok. I don't have any use for this album outside of that purpose.
I had very high hopes for this, but it was mostly noise. I don't think this lives up to the historical hype.
Turned off after about 5 mins. Just making noise with instruments.
This is one of Davis' later albums, in what became known as his "electric era" where he started using a lot more electric pianos, etc. I didn't really care for it, I haven't spent the time to "get" Jazz. His earlier work is apparently better, I should listen to his best album, "Kind of Blue" at some point, but I can't get myself to listen today after listening to this one. Davis was sort of controversial, he was seen as a huge sellout later in his career and isn't the best instrumentalist, supposedly. He also beat his wives, so there's that.
Nope.
boooo
Pues.... es jazz... como si un grupo de jazzistas se hubieran reunido, echado unos hongos y puesto a tocar a ver qué salía. Supongo que tiene su mérito no perder la noción de lo que están haciendo durante tanto tiempo, pero es súper pesado de escuchar.
Nope, I hate this.
-I cant deal with that much smooth jazz sorry
blippetiblopetti
Miles
Næs
Kind of Blue is still my all time favorite but this fusion album is good. Have to be in a certain mindset for Jazz but I like this.
I wish I liked jazz more than I do
Хороший джаз
