Not my jam
When people say they don't like jazz i'm guessing this is what they think of. I remember listening to this Album in high school but i seem to have forgotten how avant-garde and free jazzy this was. I like Jazz and I like some of Coltranes music (Like Giant steps). But this is a bit too much for me especially pt.I. Pt.II get more comprehensible and Pt.III gets more easy to listen to at some points. When i heard Giant steps it felt like Coltrane took a motif and then just calmly and controlled just flew away technically. even the pianist couldn't keep up with it at times. This feels more uncontrolled and sporadic and the piano feels like the most collected. Almost like they switched roles after Giant steps. This was way to much free jazz for me
2.5
I honestly wish I liked jazz more than I do, because this for me had nothing special, I can appreciate the musicanship and all of that here, but it was annoying when it sounded like if the piano, the sax or the bass where on their own.
Know Coltrane is a jazz master but I don’t like free-form jazz anymore
I think my general dislike of Coltrane is already a matter of record at this point. He was a supremely talented musician who chose to create cacophony instead of beauty with those talents. And that's really frustrating because, when he's not playing, I can really get into this. Tyner is a masterful jazz pianist and, when he takes the lead, the music is interesting and engaging, the phrases building on one another and evolving in fascinating ways. And then, inevitably, Coltrane will slide in with his saxophone and lay down a series of arhythmic runs, knocking over the complex house of cards that Tyner built. So frustrating. The only track that I came close to enjoying was the last one, "Psalm", and only because Coltrane restrained himself and actually built something WITH his bandmates instead of actively working against them.
Too jazz for me
I'm just not that into jazz. Pleasant sometimes but I really hated the long drum-heavy portions.
Ok on the heels of a few albums where I thought "I'm so tired of musicians who are just impressed with themselves and don't care about entertainment value unless the music is paired with party favors" it was hard to hear this for the amazing music that it is. I would love to sit in a smoky bar in a big city and listen to this. But as it was I was in the car with my kids screaming and it just ... added to the cacophony. Sorry to the millions of people and Coltrane himself that I have seriously offended.
#159. Jazz is still jazz. 2/5: jazz
A mí en particular no me llama
Not for me. I know that Coltrane was one of the pioneers of jazz and I do like jazz, but not this kind. I feel like I’m supposed to like him, and while I can appreciate his virtuosity, I just do not like this style. I gave it a fair shake though
Good jazzman but I didn't got caught by this album
Wanted to like it more than I did. Seems to be how I feel about most jazz. Just doesn't seem like convenience music to me at times.
OK. Chaotic
On the one hand, I can appreciate the musicianship, but on the other hand, there is so much going on musically that it is difficult to find a thread to grip you. Like many pure jazz records, it's too technical for its own good. It's just a series of experiments thrown together. That's all good if that floats one's boat, but unfortunately, it doesn't float mine.
Mid
Almost hard to listen to. Definitely a good jazz record by the more I listen to it the more I realise, jazz is not my kind of music. Songs were the exact length that I wanted to skip it the last few seconds.
I hate jazz
Sorry Lisa, I really don't care for or understand this kind of music. It just sounds like discord to my ears.
I still don’t like jazz
Not really my taste in music, but he’s really good:)
Not for me
- not a ton of thoughts on this one - some parts were smooth and groovy, but a lot of it felt chaotic - and maybe that’s just how love is 🤷🏻♂️
Serious question. Do people listen to this on purpose?
1.8. Not for me.
Couldn't get through it.
Album no. 1/1001. Okay, a little rambly without clear stand-out for me. Somewhat messy (jazz way) but okay. Hopefully there will be jazz albums I prefer. 2/5
Just ok
Jazz. Anxiety filled jazz.
Not for me Music was great but not my style and I need lyrics
It's ok. Good background music.
solid jazz music by Coltrane. you have to be in the right mood to listen to this :)
The softer, slower cuts are ok. Could not get through the entire album
Jazz, it just sounds like I'm at Macy's shopping with grandma for new shoes. I'd need to be super high to appreciate it.
I was originally not into it, it sounded like generic improvised jazz, but I became more fond of the emotion of the piece as I continued listening. The recording was well done, with each instrument of the quartet having their own solo / moment to shine. It is good to listen to on its own as the main event. Relax and don’t occupy your mind to enjoy.
Feel harsh, but I over-scored some of my earlier 2s. Tracks are too long, started track 1 on my way to work and was still going on the way home. Reckon I might enjoy it more if I was off my face in La Bicicleteria in Sevilla, drinking their homemade orange wine. I just don't really 'get' Jazz music. It's not you John Coltrane, it's me.
I mean, it’s clearly very impressive but also not for me at all
Too scattered for casual listening. Seemed to distress people in the room
This just doesn't work for me. I appreciate the musicianship of each player individually, but as a whole it's disjointed and doesn't flow. It sounds like each musician is playing a different song. A mash up gone wrong so to speak.
Jazz isn’t my thing. I wanted to like this album but i just couldn’t. Although i respect it and the immense talent needed to play at this level. By the last song i was kinda getting used to it maybe i should try to listen again. Fav song: A love supreme: psalm 2 stars
1st I'm sure this is considered quality jazz, but jazz is not my cup of tea 2
Big 'no' for this amount of trumpet
so basically i have a couple pros and cons pros: seems to have two melodies going on at once which make it exciting the evangellic/religious/otherwordly theme is apparent and you can feel it so it works thematically cons: songs feel overly long i dislike how the main instrument playing, whether it be the saxophone or the drums, are only playing in one ear the lyrics in the first song scared me and i hated them lol not much variation in the melody so you're listening to very similar bits for extended periods of time overall i would rate it a 2.5/5
Too much. Not my kind of jazz.
I think Coltrane is talented, and I still experience no joy in listening to this madness. Maybe one day.
Not my style of music, rambles aimlessly to me ,reaffirmed that I just don't like jazz
Definitivament el jazz no és per mi. Sé que John Coltrane és un dels grans però m'ha provocat més mal de cap que una altra cosa. No entenc l'estructura de la música, no hi veig la gràcia, i em confon. Reconec el mèrit del jazz, però és un gènere musical que he intentat escoltar per activa i per passiva i no ho aconsegueixo. John Coltrane no ha sigut diferent de les meves experiències fins ara.
Kinda boring i‘m sorry
I can only take so much saxophone, wasn’t in the mood for it but some nice background music 2.75/5
I like jazz but I dont like when it gets too busy and crazy. I prefer smooth, calm jazz. Its hard because I liked about half the album and the other half was too much for me. probably 2.5 stars
WOAH more jazz just like the last one.
That's some rough, abrasive and choppy sax.
a love supreme a love supreme a love supreme a love supreme The power within. The power within. The power within. The power within. The power within. The power within. The power within. The power within. The power within.
Too abstract for an enjoyable experience for me.
I know a lot of people like John Coltrane and I can't argue with the talent present, but I struggle with hearing anything other than a tasmanian devil in a kitchen with a lot of cutlery.
if you like jazz then I'm guessing this is the album you point everyone to. I cant speak against the talent here, but a lot of it just seems so incoherent, like several people playing their own solos at once, other times everything syncs up great. the problem for me is I cant point to a particular point in a song or anything, because of its nature. A technical masterpiece I'm sure, but to me it just seems like jazz jam band.
Not really for me. A lot of noise
Only liked the first and last song.
While I can appreciate that it takes talent to make this music, I really don't enjoy listening to it.
It's jazz, I don't like it
I liked the drums, not a huge fan of jazz, 2/5
Not being a Jazz guy my initial thoughts on hearing this album is 'What a racket!'. But from a jazz perspective, I recognise the skillful use of jazz chord progression, use of scales and the complicated beat. Despite all of this my first statement of not being a jazz guy still holds truth for me. If I never hear this album again it will be a bonus.
Ya like jazz?
Jazz is not it 4/10
I hate to say it but it kinda just sounded like random noise? I guess I just don’t get jazz? No favorite songs (out of only 4)
Interesting and clearly talented musicians. A little too chaotic at times for me.
Stressful
Didn't do it for me. I suppose I just don't get jazz though.
Certainly is jazz, isn't it?
If this is the pinacle of Jazz then I just don't like Jazz. Half the time it just seems like random noise. Not my tempo.
I didn't like it
Starting to doubt the validity of this site.
Not really a jazz fan but it wasn't bad
The first track is boooooooring. The only positive being that it got me looking up some Mighty Boosh skits on YouTube. "No-one listens to jazz. Science teachers and the mentally ill, that's all jazz is for." - "You hate jazz? You fear jazz!" I'd say it picks up from there a bit, and it's not quite as chaotic. There's some smoother stuff later on with the last track. 2.5 rounded down
Pure nonsense. Love it
Très très très jazz
I'm sure there are those who absolutely love this album. I am, sadly, not one of them. Are all the musicians talented? Absolutely. But I just can't enjoy stream of consciousness jazz - music without discernable form or function other than to make noise. Not my bag.
To me, the improved scramble of instruments trying to find a groove just felt lazy. There were a few interesting peaks in the album and the piano player was pretty good, but overall, overrated and sloppy.
Not my cup of tea to be honest. Some nice melodies and sounds, but I don’t like when it goes a bit random. Just find that headachey.
Ik snap ergens wel de virtuositeit van dit soort jazz. Waarom het allemaal zo snel en zo nerveus moet, dat begrijp ik alleen niet. Er mist voor mij een warm bad, waarin ik me kan laten meevoeren. Het is allemaal door elkaar heen getoeter en gedrum, zo snel mogelijk. Ik word er heel onrustig van. Blij dat dit maar een half uurtje duurt.
Some jazz huh? Okay. Coltrane is one of the greats so I hear. I'm going to be thinking of Whiplash. The cymbals on this first track is cool! Cool bass line. Meh it was okay. 2 stars
Day 1: Some nice bits on this album but just far too much going on for me to settle in to it and properly engage. Am more a fan of slower jazz, but think for the moment my musical palate is not quite ready to properly appreciate this, I definitely didn't 'get it'. Worth revisiting at a later date if I think I'd get more out of it
While it's not something I'd choose to listen to again, it was a fun listen. And the instrumental/performance skill here is insane.
Eh
I tried this in stereo and mono, and it just isn't for me. It's very intense, almost violent jazz, and that's fine but I just didn't vibe with it. Too noisy.
I'm going to use my ignorance here as a crutch as to why I dislike this. I'd like to think I'm at least somewhat musically adept, as I've played both bass and piano for years now, but this sort of stuff can really come off as a wall of noise and not much more to me, where I know I'm hearing something musically impressive, but gaining nothing from it. It certainly isn't as hard for me to like as Bitches Brew in this case, but this album still suffers (for me) with this stuff. There was things I liked (like, shocker, the bass and piano), but there were also plenty of moments I was growing quickly sick of what I was listening to. This manages to claw itself out of the one star depths, but mostly because I feel it is more my fault than anything that I think, at best, nothing of this.
This really stressed me out for some reason.
This type of jazz is not my jam, I need more structure.
There were times when, while packing up books for a move, I almost felt like I got it. If the only way I can get down with some music is if I'm super distracted, what does that say? Idk man, it's gonna be super embarrassing when jazz is my least-liked genre at the end of this, but I guess I'm just not a hep cat. At least not when it's ponderous pretzel jazz.
Got dizzy from all the gayness
Appreciate it but my god it went on.
This is unintelligible to me, like all modern freeform jazz - I'm sure it's superb musicianship, but it just isn't what I want to listen to.
The list has really opened me up a bit more to jazz than I was willing to tolerate before. This is still a little much for me, modal anything is just hard to get into unless you are a different level of music nerd. I can appreciate what it is, but it's just not for me.
I’m sure if you’re in to jazz this is great. Brb just making stuff up for half an hour.
Jazzzzzzzz...
If you do an album in one take and it works, that's a cool story. If you miss a bunch of notes and play out of breath for half a song, maybe you should have just done another take. Best track: N/A
I know everyone thinks John Coltrane is like the coolest thing ever (or at least used to). But man, jazz is just not my thing.
Too much jazz for me
Too jazzy
Just don't like jazz that much.
Jazz meh
I'm sure it's good, just not for me right now. Maybe one day
This is my first step into jazz and while I enjoyed my time with this album it doesn't make me want to get further into jazz. That being said I appreciate this for what it is, an influential album in history. Just not my kind of thing
Apparently my answer to "you like jazz?" is no. I can appreciate the talent, it's just not for me.
Normaliter ben ik niet vies van een toetertje, maar dit ging me echt te ver.
Ik kan dit gewoon niet zo goed aan.
Offen gestanden mehr eine dem musikhistorischen Interesse geschuldete Pflichtübung denn ein Genuss. Mich hat es eher gelangweilt.
I know he's a legend but not my thing...
There is jazz that I can genuinely enjoy & appreciate, and jazz that I just do not understand. I regret to say that this falls into the latter. There are some interesting melodies every so often, but most times I feel like I'm listening to someone tuning a guitar or randomly pressing keys on a piano.
It's not for me
Relaxing Jazz, still like Davis more though
A Love Supreme is a 1965 album by American jazz saxophonist John Coltrane - widely considered his masterpiece. This critically acclaimed jazz album is one of the most important albums of post-war jazz and was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry due to its significance. This spiritually pleasing album was fun to listen to, but jazz is not one of the genres I usually enjoy, so that affects my rating. I can tell this is an important album, but personally I categorize it as background music aka elevator music.
Whilst there was some rather interesting musicianship, I find it hard to stay engaged. Once again, not really my thing. 2 Stars.
Not for me
Not really my bag, but that's okay.
Not for me
Its okej but not for me I think.
From a music technicality standpoint, this has some impressive composition and playing. But also, the tracks devolve into a lot of heavy improvisation; to me, that just ends up sounding like discordant noise. Even if its discordant noise, I guess there's something to be said about the agility with which it is being played. I continue to not be the best candidate for appreciating jazz music, no matter how hard I try.
Felt like I was sat in a dentist waiting room to have my teeth pulled
I want to like this album. But it’s too much chaos for my ears and brain. For Coltrane, I’ll take the Coltrane/Ellington In A Sentimental Mood album over this every time.
I am rarely in the mood for jazz. Appreciated as important, sure. Enjoyed, not so much.
I’m no expert but sounds to me like a lot of these are the wrong notes.
Wasn't feeling this today. Didn't particularly suit my mood.
Gav mig inte jättemycket
A conversation with friends summed up the review for this album. Coltrane is an amazing musician, but he was uninhibited and while that has its place in jazz, it does not always hold a place with audiences. His best work was when he was part of something bigger. This album is an example of Coltrane playing with difficulty for the sake of it, and even at a paltry thirty minutes is a bit much in one sitting.
I know this album is supposed to be important, but improvisational jazz really isn't my thing.
21st June 2022 Listened while working in the morning room before going to pick up the freezer with dad. Got a fever so in bed the rest of the day. Nice bit of jazz! Background music for me sadly, I can’t appreciate it. 2.5 if I could.
That certainly was some chaotic jazz.
Better than most smooth jazz. Unfortunately, it is still smooth jazz.
Probably would have been a three except for when the saxophone kicked in. The way it was played (breathy, crackling) irked me too much
Cet album était absolument nul, le love supreme jazz est un genre minable que l'on ne me reprendra pas à écouter. En revanche j'apprécie toujours autant l'écoute de l'ultra sexual soul, qui me fait remettre en question continuellement mon couple tout en me poussant très fréquemment à me carresser les tétons.
Honestly didn’t enjoy this type of jazz very much. It was choppy and annoying but still technically good
Pretty sure I played some Coltrane when I was learning the saxophone, but nothing as frenetic or technically impressive as this. I kinda like it but it doesn’t move me on an emotional level. It’s getting the token neutral jazz score of 2.5.
I lack whatever is needed to enthuse over jazz, but it's a good background record. Not sure when it ended and Spotify' jazz algorithm kicked in
it was jazz so i’ve never loved it i mean it was fun sounding but wasn’t up my alley but for jazz it was good and the talent is still very impressive
Thank you, next (I just don’t like jazz)
It immediately starts annoying me, like so much '60s jazz. Coltrane is all over the place, while the piano and drums fight for attention. When he stops playing, then they work together. Part 2 has the same problem. Once Coltrane stops playing the piano takes over the lead and the drummer settles into rhythm. Then the pianist gets overexcited and starts banging chords, which are no doubt modal, but they just sound random to me. Part 3 starts off with a good drum solo, but Bonzo did it better in triplets. In comes the piano and they work together well, until Daddy comes home and they start begging for his attention again. It settles down nicely for a while before Coltrane decides to show off again. Part 4 is pretty good, maybe the drummer needs to stick to the kettle, that rolling rhythm was effective, there is no discordant battle, so it finishes the album nicely. I'd like to mention the bass player, who just sits there and backs the others, except for his long and dull solo.
Opinion differs. Not coherent enough to sink your teeth into. Hard to get into. Rhythm section and piano often more enjoyable than melody.
More jazz. At least this had a saxophone.
Too jazzy?
I still don't get jazz. It seems to be the equivalent if you were just listening to a record of solos all strung together with no context. I don't get any emotion or feeling conveyed, just manic noodling. I will say the drums on track 1 are just crazy... i can't even tell what's going on. Track 4 is the only interesting one... it slows it down and tries to create a mood and melody. Not enough to save it.
I mean, I know it's good. And there's parts I even really like. I think this kind of jazz just isn't for me.
I can tolerate jazz but this was a bit much for me, sax only coming out of the left speaker and very free form. Maybe it would work after repeated listens but not one for me this
J'ai passé un moment.
This album definitely serves a specific purpose - provoking thought, background for a stimulating conversation. Staring straight at it for one hour and fifty minutes can be exhausting.
First off sounded like jazz, I thought it sounded familiar but I'm not sure why. After 4 songs the jazz sounded a bit strange. I didn't like that. In the end it was sounding better again but the middle part had ruined it for me personally. Would not listen again.
אחלה ג׳אז, לא שמעתי הכל. הקצב קצת חוזר על עצמו אבל זה ג׳אז אז הכל טוב
not for me
Listened on a run. I like jazz yet more creative improvised jazz like this is not really my cup of tea. Not in my top 1000
It was a jazz album that was pleasant enough to listen to, however not something I'd actively go out of my way to listen to again. An album that would be good as part of some background music at a speakeasy type bar. No best/worst as they all flow into one another.
Very skillful for all instruments. Nothing I would listen to again though. Drum solo on track 3 is the highlight.
Jazz is not for me…
niet men ding
Well call me a luddite but I do not have the patience to get jazz. Some of this was fine but other parts I just wanted it to end. There was some long bit of just double bass mucking around. Nonsense. Not worth recording
I am not a big fan of jazz. I get that it takes an incredible amount of talent but not my cup of tea
Niet het soort jazz waar ik van houd
Sorry John; I know you are highly acclaimed… but I’m just not a jazz man…. It’s too damn freestyle!
I have yet to grow an appreciation for jazz. It is something I want to do, but as of right now it I have not. I can still tell that there’s a lot of detail in this piece however, so that gives it some points.
I'm sure this album would sound or at least interest me a lot more if I had any sort of technical expertise in music theory, but as it stands now, I don't and this album seems less-than good. Many of the instruments seem to clash with each other as well as being pretty repetitive, but I may not be able to truly appreciate it due to my circumstances. Favorite track: Part II: Resolution
Fordernd
Not my kind of jazz, very precise and impressive sax though. Will probably change view at some point though
I mean, I don't like it. I've tried but I don't get it, or jazz.
Vier nummers, duidelijk een artiest die wist wat hij te zeggen had en daar geen verdere tierlantijntjes aan hing. Blijft een stijl die mij niet ligt, maar het vierde nummer deed me toch iets.
Appreciate the talent but I'm not one for jazz instrumentals
Miles likes jazz.
Just can't get into it...
So right. Smooth and choppy at the same time.
Didn't really grab me, good jazz but nothing memorable.
Äärimmäisen taidokasta musisointia. Instrumentaalijazz ei vaan valitettavasti ole yhtään mun juttu. Sori John!
3/10
Olisin voinut kuolla kuulematta tätä. En kuulu kohderyhmään.
Toimis siellä kuuluisassa utuisessa jazzyökerhossa New Yorkissa. Autossa tavallisena arkimaanantaina ei aivan.
Jazz
Not for me
jazz, bleh
Скучная джазовая какофония. Неимоверно скучно слушать альбом и если вы захотите послушать джаз и кто-то вам скажет послушать этот альбом можете смело матерится в его сторону. Для неподготовленного слушателя коим я и являюсь, данный альбом точно не подходит, пусть сам john Coltrane является одной из самых значимых фигур в становлении джаза и является несомненно гениальным музвкантом, конкретно этот альбом либо мне лично не нравится, либо мне нужна джазовая наслушанность, и уже тогда переслушаю и скажу подкреплённое фактами мнение. Пока оценка 2/10 ничего не вызывает и даже на фоне мешает делать обычные дела, а вдумчивое прослушивание говорит выключить.
A Love Supreme's Average Score out of 100 is The Highest Rated song is 48 The Lowest Rated son is 18 Classic Jazz record that does very little for me unfortunately.
I wasn’t ready to be assaulted by a saxophone.
Not for me
Jesus fucking Christ I fucking hate jazz
Very old songs, almost no lyrics, played on a trumpet or sth.
Usually don’t mind a bit of jazz but wasn’t in to this at all
love it
Baustelle, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Übler Mist.
Don’t feel anything particularly for this album, I found it underwhelming.
yeah i dont really like jazz
Jazz... Sorry but jazz in any form is an instant 1 from me. Maybe that means I'm uncultured or something but it's just not working for me.
One star for being mercifully short.
This is master lever jazz I can’t get behind yet unfortunately 😔 I just got annoyed honestly
This was classic jazz, which therefore means it sounded like a bunch of small children bashing loads of instruments on the floor all at the same time. Not as bad as Bill Evans Trio, but not much better. Terrible stuff.
This type of jazz really does nothing for me. Appreciate Coltrane is revered in the jazz world, and there's no doubting the musicianship, but I find it anxiety inducing!
it's just jazz. not my thing
bruit de trompettes
I just don't like jazz that much and the third part was annoying as hell
Jazz is rubbish, don’t pretend it isn’t!
Before starting this project, I thought jazz was just a bunch of musicians mashing together vaguely random collections of notes in a way that's sort of unpleasant and not very musical sounding to my peasant ears, but that highbrow people recognise could only have been produced by someone who has carefully studied all the rules in order to deliberately break them in a way that's obviously not accidental (at least to those in the know). In other words, not for me, who is (I repeat) a peasant. Listening to several jazz albums on this list has made me realise I was wrong. Some jazz albums are musical and conventionally nice-sounding. They can be joyful and danceable (like Duke Ellington), or chill background vibes (like bossa nova). Or something vaguely artsy but still musical and moving (like Miles Davis). This album is much more like the image of what I thought jazz was before. It's all just music theorist wankery that doesn't actually sound nice. An arrythmic drum solo here, a random phrase of saxophone there, some guy slamming the keyboard a few times, and on and on we go. Utter rubbish to a peasant like me
2/10
No me gusta tan larga
not for me
Shite
Aunque me gusta la música, no me entretiene que sea solo melódico, por eso la puntuación
Did not listen completely i got annoyed.
I don't think I'm someone who is a fan of jazz. As I listen I realize I'm looking forward to it being over. Also annoying that instruments are playing predominantly from the left or right side. I've listened to this before, and back then I had a very similar opinion. Pretty sure I'm developing a headache.
ненавижу хватило три секунды
Not my personal taste
Ei jazzia
An absolute bastard racket.
You like jazz?
I’m sure there’s a target audience out there for this. I’m not in it. Sorry John
sorry just so so so not for me. i had to turn it off.
It's good but too dissonant for my taste. I'm not a big jazz fan.
This dude is probably a master of his instrument, but I found this album fucking annoying. Probably says more about me than him.
Sorry - I'm not a jazz person, so have to idea of how people enjoy sounds like these
No. I've come to realise that maybe I simply don't enjoy orig. Jazz. ( it gave me a headache) Therefore 1/5
i know im supposed to appreciate the musicianship but i hate jazz so much
It's a jazz album
Not my favourite sort of genre
Not a fan of Jazz
me pone nerviosa el fucking jazz
not a fan of this tbh 1/5 ⭐️
I do like jazz but I wasn’t feeling this one. Some parts of this album made it seem like it wasn’t following with the rest of the song.
no
I’m sure it’s great… but not for me.
Jazz isn't for me...
Technically brilliant. Don't like jazz.
No brass jazz for me please
Elsker lyden af saxofon men måske ikke i sammenhæng med underligt klaver spil og trommer. Føles larmende. Hørte ikke alle numre til ende men stadig 1,5/5 🌟
not for me
couldn’t wait for this one to be over
I’m probably not made for jazz, or at least not this specific album. It kinda gave me a headache
Stress Jazz
don't know enough about jazz I guess. It was cool it was improvised though.
Fairly unremarkable. Good background music but nothing that pulls you in.
People have said that this is the best jazz album that will ever exist. If that's true, then I clearly don't like jazz.
Gives me anxiety
I realised that I’d never heard this for some reason. Coltrane of course is at that rarefied heights of musicians, including but not limited to and in no order, Bach, Louis Armstrong, Hendrix, Glenn Gould, Chris Thile, Mozart, Beethoven, Charlie Parker, Charlie Christian, Jaco Pastorius, Ron Carter, Prince, Jack de Johnette, Victor Wooten, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, Allan Holdsworth and a few others. Musicians of such artistry they transcend genre and even instrument. This album does that. It was that rare thing. A highly praised album that deserved the praise. Elvin Bishop on drums is player of the match. But the quartet is just … ON. I think I need to block out some time and listen to this in a silent room with no distractions. 5 stars.
i fucking hate jazz
pas vraiment le type de musique que j’écouterais actuellement, même si je peux reconnaître la qualité des musiciens et de la proposition artistique. en général j’aime plus le jazz produit par des groupes comme ezra collective ou ekathe, donc un peu déçue de pas avoir accroché à ce style de jazz—mais j’irai définitivement voir la trajectoire de john coltane (qui a notamment collaboré avec miles davis!), et éventuellement réécouterai cet album dans une dizaine d’années (1 étoile qui reflète uniquement mon appréciation subjective et non musicale)
This is so insanely annoying to listen to. I can't believe anyone genuinely likes this. It feels incredibly self indulgent
Bebop noise
1-2 Classic jazzy elevator music, fine But wouldn’t listen it to
it simply is not for me and provokes a negative physical reaction when i hear it, but i can understand technically why it's lauded
Awful mess
If an album was an anxiety attack! I’ve never been able to understand this kind of jazz, where it sounds like no one can hear each other, and everyone’s just soloing in their own dimension, jamming wildly, then smashing it all together in post and calling it music. I'd personally like to launch that saxophone into the sun.
Boring
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die: 22/1001 It seems so out of sync with each individual part of itself that it was difficult for me to enjoy. Technical, for sure. Demonstrating talent, duh. Produced excellently, no doubt. But all together, it felt like I was listening to a master saxophonist while my child was in the next room playing the snare drum my ex wife got him for christmas in an attempt to annoy me. Podium (forgone) I don't know, maybe I'm the problem. Maybe my ears aren't mature enough to understand this. It feels like an abstract piece of art the artist put a story behind to make it resonate. Like the marketing won while my ears didn't. As I read through other reviews people are attaching this theoretical meaning the artist wants you to have but that you'd never have without them. I don't know how that makes it good? I'm no jazz aficionado, but I've certainly heard better and enjoyed others. Maybe this is one of those genius pieces of work that come off so weird while making it seem so easy, like you could do it, while technically being a masterclass at what it does. Either way, it didn't land for me and I did not enjoy it whatsoever during any of my listens. I can't help but give this a 1.5/5 stars for those reasons.
Jazz is an affront to the senses, and this steaming cowpat of dissonance does nothing to prove otherwise.
se é jazz é trotos
Scho extrem Jazzy, Song 1 het no e cooli Rechts/Links Akkustik. Isch aber doch sehr repetitiv und het grad nur sehr wenig repetier-potenzial
Jazz is just bad and this is the worst of jazz.
Too jazzy for me
This album made me really appreciate silence.
Absolut entsetzlicher Jazz-Chaos Dreck. Das ist doch nicht schön, das ist einfach nur Kuddelmuddel, als ob n Hund ne Katze durchs Orchester Jagd
Probably good if you like this kind of music
Album very Jazz. Contains much sound. It is rated
To me, and I'm sure this is my fault, it sounds like a rambling mess. 1/5
Kind of meh
would rate this album a 5 if it was called the white supreme
Shite. Not for me at all. I’m sure it was phenomenal during the recording but to my ear it’s just wankery making it up as they go along.
I always look forward to listening to a jazz album in the hopes that this will be the one that makes me get it. It wasn’t this one. It sounded laborious and mundane, the exact opposite of what Ryan Gosling promised me in La La Land.
I know this is a cornerstone of Jazz and I’ve tried over the years… Just don’t get it.
Coltrane is a name in the music world that is lauded from the highest peaks. I never have purposely listened to his work nor will I again unless heavily coaxed. I did not sense a master at work on "A Supreme Love." Just a guy fiddling around on the sax. Based on the impact Coltrane had, I imagine he was like a Jimi Hendrix of the Jazz scene. I just wasn't there and can't appreciate it I guess. As much as I wanted John Zorn to speed up this album, at 32 minutes I wasn't dying...1.49 stars.
That was an awful lot of redundant jazz saxophone. Hard not to tune throughout the majority of this. Out of the infinite amount of skippable jazz albums I'm sure there is a reason this specific one is on this list, but I couldn't tell you why. Didn't find anything memorable about this album after 30 mins. I guess it works as easy-to-ignore background music? 1.41 stars
Just not my type of music
I really didn't enjoy this, but it wasn't as painful as some of the others in this style. I still don't ever want to hear it again, though.
No no no no
Absolutely not.
Pinkety plonk jazz - not my cup of tea
Как они понимают и запоминают, когда нужно пиликнуть, дунуть, тыдыцнуть и т.д.? Нет же никакой мелодии, никакого такта.
This might be technically good but this is a jazz album and I just find jazz boring most of the time.
I don't like jazz.
Ok
Just not for me
Jazz is not for me
I have no doubt these are great musicians, songwriters however...eeh. Annoying to listen to.
Really wasn't my style
I genuinely don’t see what people get from jazz.
I don't think jazz is my thing.
Can't really stand jazz, man. 1 star for technical appreciation.
I do not like this album because it is too boring. It is very repetitive.
Have you ever wanted to listen to jazz music? Then this song is perfect for you. In my opinion, I don't like this album. The first reason why I don't like this album is because it is jazz and I don't like that. The second reason why I don't like this song is because the instruments that are being used in it are very jazzy and classical and I don't like that type of music. I would not recommend this album to someone else because I did not like this so I feel like someone else would also not like it. I would give this song 1 out of 5 stars.
the first song is buns the second song is buns
I dont like this album because its boring. I also dont like this album because it has no lyrics.
Die Art Jazz die nervig ist
Gibt mir gar nichts!
Didn't care for it. Apparently I don't like jazz.
I hate jazz
Hard to put into words how much I hated this, so I won’t. Herbdienvajabrvqmoahebdnskevdbjssvs sndjcjmwabshilmaveuwiwlbdvejwkandvejsbdhskkssbsbdhwkwobd. You’ve got the letters, build your own review, John. You’ll get a proper one when you put your songs in the right order.
I did like the idea of thinking although i dont really like jazz, I could appreciate it. Not at all true. Cause this was just noise
What a racket.
How to recreate this album: 1. Get a pianist, saxophonist and double bass player very very drunk. 2. Put them all in different soundproof rooms and ask them to play random notes for a specific length of time, ensuring that the specific length of time is exactly twice as long as it needs to be. 3. Instruct the musicians that time signatures and keys are entirely at their own discretion. 4. While they play, repeatedly throw a drumkit down the stairs. 5. Design a cool black & white cover. 6. Await the muso plaudits.
Yeah no. Not bad but not my style at all
4 songs and 33 minutes, a very different challenge today than yesterday’s 69 songs and 3 hours with The Magnetic Fields. After that I needed the time back. The only issue is 1960s jazz, probably my least favourite genre of music. This is just not for me at all. Hotel lobby music. Favourite song: I couldn’t tell the difference between the 4 songs on this album. I couldn’t pick a favourite or least! Least favourite: Same as above. Album artwork: Serious
Mercifully short and thank god I had my dog to play with while listening. Certainly other people’s cup of tea but definitely not mine.
Do you like jass music? If you do then this album is for you. This album has a song with no lyrics just the beat and other stuff. That kinda sucks to be honest.The rest of the songs suck I would not recommend this album just beacause theres no lyrics.
I dont like it no lyircs 0 out 5.
Are you a big fan of Jazz? A Love Supreme by John Coltrane would be the album you would like. It has no lyrics which I'm not really used to but its nice. The saxophone sounds great its kinda like the voice in this album. Its the leader of the song. I would not recommend it though, its very bland there is little to nothing going on but if you like calm music go ahead and listen to this album.
Absolutely awful
Quite annoying
