Reviews (page 13 of 14)

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.

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!

Olisin voinut kuolla kuulematta tätä. En kuulu kohderyhmään.

Toimis siellä kuuluisassa utuisessa jazzyökerhossa New Yorkissa. Autossa tavallisena arkimaanantaina ei aivan.

Not for me

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

No me gusta tan larga

not for me

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.

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.

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

I'm not a jazz fan. At all. Just can't get anything out of it.

Jazzy but bored after 5 minutes. One star 🌟

i dont like jazz! there were several instances where I could dig the sound, but not enough to not make me wish the album was over sooner. I did it, I don't think i'll ever do so again.

I'm sorry, as I'm going to offend some people here, but at times this sounded like three siblings, each with an instrument, desperately trying to get their mother's attention, before falling, as one, down a metal fire escape and into a metal rubbish bin. I just didn't get it

Absolutely not for me. I can understand it's highly thought of in the big scheme of things, but it's really not designed for me. I only made it through the whole thing by turning it down low and pretending it was background movie soundtrack to my day.

Det finns jazz och så finns det jazz. Det här är jazz som inte är vazz. Jag tycker den är kazz och borde spolas ner på dazz.

I’ll shit on your face

I love Chicken supreme

Kiinnostavasta ideasta taustahälyyn. Niin minä tämän kulutin.

It's a no from me

This is a bit much for my tastes. I'm sure it's ground breaking etc... but I just don't care for it. Caused me to turn down the volume. I'm sure back in the day this was like awesome heavy stuff but now it just sounds crappy to me.

no way

sorry there are just no jazz cells in my entire brain

Back to back days getting straight jazz albums and while I won’t rate this high at all, it won’t be as bad as I rate it. I just don’t think this type of music is for me. Fwiw, I enjoyed listening to it but imo, there is zero replayability for me personally here.

I wanted to like it but it just wasn’t for me.

Not my kind of jazz

boring...

With all due respect to the legend and the musicianship on here; I’ll never ever listen to this again. I tried, but jazz is not for me. Track 1 sounds like random sounds on the saxophone. Track 2 sounds like random notes on the piano. Track 3 sounds like random notes on the saxophone AND the piano, while the last track wraps everything up.

Ik haat dit soort jazz, het is zo tering neurotisch en random

Granted I am not a jazz fan in the slightest but I feel like I like music enough to appreciate good sounds and this just didn’t have good sounds for me. Some bits of nice piano but the horns just sounded like they were being tortured half the time. Maybe that’s good jazz? I don’t know. Sorry, John.

Mediocre modal Jazz. Didn't even like it as background music.

Too much instrumental

Apparently I just do not like jazz.

Oof. I like a bit of jazz but not this Way too much chaos going on for me to be able to enjoy it. Drums banging everywhere and piano keys getting smashed. I felt an anxiety attack coming on, my body couldn't relax! 1 ⭐️

72 hours of excruciating hell! Who needs thumbscrews, water torture or Guantanamo when this could just play on repeat and force submission within minutes? Louis Balfour would say Niiiiice! I say - where’s my headache tablets?

Didn’t like thisxat all!

Oh hooray! Another jazz album. This one I had the misfortune of listening to 15-20 years ago. It did nothing for my developing brain then, and it still does nothing for me now. I'll be honest, I only listened to the first track this time around. But it was enough for me to remember that I have heard this, didn't like it, and would much rather listen to literally anything else.

Hell no. 0.25 stars

I have not heard of this album before as I don’t like jazz. It’s fine for being background music but I would never want to put this on willingly. Will not listen again.

I vascillate with jazz. I like background music with smooth/soft jazz, containing nice rhythms and sweet tunes. But then I listen to this and hear perhaps a technically superior album that sounds like musicians just jamming in their own heads and realize I really dislike this style. 1 / 5

Not for me

Det låter som att jag sitter i telefonkö till UPS kundtjänst. Låtarna verkar ju vara ganska sammanhängande i alla fall, så det är väl ett plus. Vi har haft dåliga album innan, men detta är ren misär. 1 / 5

• Coltrane ser seriös ut • Intressant att vi haft ett trumcentrerat album och nu ett med saxonfon • Allt sånt här funkar bäst som bakgrundsmusik, helst live. Känns även som det hade passat i bakgrunden i en film • Väldigt struktrutellt lös Betyg: Bra teknik, gillar man denna form av jazz är det säkert bra, funkar nog bäst live och i bakgrunden. Funkar mindre bra att lyssna på påväg till jobbet => 1/5

Gillar inte utdragen fri-jazz

- I can't get on board with Jazz

Ciboire que jcomprends pas le fucking jazz.

Not for me at the moment to chaotic jazzy sound

basta mi sono rotto jazz e basta proprio acustico due coglioni, ma poi a chicago te lo vedi live figurati su spoty la mattina presto

Random stuff. experimental jazz. Its good but these people just needed electronics.

John Coltrane is a king in the Jazz community and I know of this album's fame, but it is just not my thing.

Jazz aficionados will say I don’t get it…and they’re right. What a load of crap. This was a painful listen for several reasons. For starters, I don’t really care for the tone of a saxophone that much. It sounds like a clarinet with a bad head cold. Then, the early stages of stereo recording with its strange separation of instruments; sax in left ear, drums all the way in the right ear, piano and bass minimally spaced in the middle….annoying. Then the worst part, four guys just rambling on their instruments for a half hour. The only good thing I can say is “whew, I will NEVER listen to that again!” I give it one star because I can’t give it negative stars.

Not my thing.

Sounds like walking in a music school rehearsal building where there are lots of good musicians practicing their own things at the same time. Very nearly unlistenable for me.

Jazz is not my favourite music ...

How can anybody listen to this. I think listening to robbie coltrane farting for the same amount of time as this album would have been just as entertaining

zu anstrengend, glaube ich verstehe die Musik (noch) nicht

Did not like it

I wish I had more hands so I can give this album four thumbs down. I was expecting to be overwhelmed with how musically talented these players were, but I really just think that they were a bunch of amateur junior high school players. Mama this was garbage.

32 mins 46 secs over 4 songs 💀💀, i cant even edge that long. lyrics L

Just not my thing.

Not my choice…1/5

Free form jazz, blech

Too discordant. Didn’t enjoy

Jazz - I just don't get it!

yea, jazz is not for me

I can appreciate that it took a certain level of musicianship and creative freedom to create this, but it didn't interest me at all.

too many notes

opposite of my thing

Noise, just screeching noise. Who gave John Coltrane a musical instrument? I just have one question, how dare you?

I didn't enjoy this. Too jazzy! All over the place in parts and too jarring. I know that's probably part of the appeal and I'm meant to appreciate the technicality, but I don't! I enjoyed the Hugh Masekela album more than this so this is getting a 1.5

I really tried with this. I want to like jazz but just find it irritating. I’m sure the musicianship is impressive but i just don’t get it. An aimless racket. Emperors new clothes.

Kept waiting for the song to start but it never started :(

Don't like jazz

ENOUGH WITH THE JAZZ ALBUMS!

I listen to some weird shit, and several of the bands are heavily influenced by free-form jazz. But they at least carry a theme over, around, and through which they play their instruments. But with this there were many many times when it just descended into a cacophony. Not for me.

I used to think I had a pretty diverse music taste, but this week’s selections have thrown a few different genres, and I’m struggling to enjoy stuff that’s out of my lane. I can appreciate this for its technical brilliance, but it just doesn’t inspire any of the emotions that make me turn up the volume, or listen again.

A Love Supreme Pt V - Hideous

Wow this is another level of horrible

Got anxious

Not my thing. It didn't move me emotionally and didn't work as background music, found it too distracting

Not the biggest fan of jazz but I can appreciate it in some ways. It reminds me a lot of films set in New York such as 'Taxi Driver' and 'Mean Streets'. I've always seen the saxophone as a sleezy instrument. Half way through the first song the best began to become a bit more cohesive compared to the beginning. Towards the end when he keeps repeating 'Love Supreme', it reminded me a lot of Viper the Rapper. He raps in that monotone voice similar to John Coltrane and often uses repetition. Jazz just gives me anxiety and makes me uncomfortable as a genre. Overall, was not a fan.

Awful. Of course.

I didn't share the opinion of the YouTube comments.

Honestly just sounds like a 3 year old let loose on a trumpet.

Jazz not for me, I’m afraid
