Jazz sucks
Nah
There are definitely faaaaar better jazz albums, and this sounded like it was just relatively monotonous bass in the background, and the saxophone (or whatever is being played by the other person) just going up and down without making very nice rhythm, and also some drums in the spare time. I understand that this is more than 65 years old, so it would have been cooler but nowadays it doesn't sound that great to me.
Fiddly, beepy, boopy, twiddly, twinkly, twonky noise. No thank you. Jazz is truly abysmal.
C'est bien si tu es dans un ascenseur
Didn’t like at all
truly the greatest piece of music ever written. Bravo radiohead this is truly better than any ricky Montgomery
Could bit listen to more than a few notes of each song
Listen, I've listened to a lot of jazz in my time and I have come to realize that I like more brass-heavy exciting jazz compositions rather than meandering slow, extremely improv heavy jazz. This album is the latter and I'm not ashamed to say I don't like it. This feels like background music at a restaurant, but I'm not at a restaurant I'm sitting and listening to this album straight through. Despite this record being technically very impressive, I just couldn't get into it.
Have I heard this album before? No Highlights: Rating: 3.5/10 I’m not really qualified on what makes jazz music enjoyable. I looked it up and this album is hard bop. Monk is clearly quite good at piano, but this style of you solo, I solo music doesn’t really click with me yet.
Least favorite album so far. I’m sure it would be cool to see live, but it was painful getting through the album.
It's Jazz for 45 minutes. Okay. Nice for a while, got a little bored.
Good jazz
Felt very samey! Ok as background music.
Not my style
Not for me
I always thought he sounded off key!
I really don't like jazz
Ich mag wohl keinen Jazz. Nervtötend.
Not really into jazz
Jazz just isn't my cup of tea at all. 1.5*, rounding down as even as far as jazz goes this is totally uncaptivating
i don’t like jazz albums
Não consegui ouvir o disco até o fim. Posso dizer que não tive maturidade suficiente neste momento para assimilar o disco.
Love it!!!
This is the kind of jazz I dislike, long, self indulgent and too jarring to just have on in the background.
Too jazzy for me. Might be brilliant, but I wouldn't know and just can't really appreciate it. Not my thing, would never choose to listen to this, even as background music, as I think it's a bit too jarring compared to other more mellow jazz we've had.
No thanks
Mercifully only 5 tracks long.
Admittedly, not really into jazz. I don’t mind having this in the background when working but nothing stands out for me. I didn’t even realize my music app was playing songs beyond the album.
Second jazzy album that I don’t like. It’s too “tinny” and grates on my ears.
Pants!! 👎🏼
It's just jazz, not really my type of jazz
I'm sure there's loads going on here but it's lost on me - just sounds like all other old jazz
Thankfully most of it wont play
This one just wasn't it, even as background
Brilliant corners really turned corners when I was trying to figure out the time of the song. Too disjointed for me to enjoy. Water from an ancient well was better
Personally did not like
Did not enjoy. I am sure there is some Jazz out there I would find palatable, but this isnt it. Found the music disjointed, grating and was relieved when it finished.
Hate this kind of jazz. Not for me.
Still not keen on jazz
Not for me
2/10. Not bad per say, just very much not for me. For jazz, it was mid still.
This is not for me. Would not listen again
Jazz sucks
I'm learning that Jazz is not my vibe
Disclaimer: Ik ben niet verlicht genoeg om jazz te kunnen doorgronden. Het is vast weer ontzettend knap, maar ook dit jazz album lijkt weer vooral gevuld te zijn met muzikanten die warmspelen en inblazen. Met vlagen is het alsof er vier kleuters met losse handjes zijn losgelaten in een muziekwinkel met ouders er omheen die het vanuit een soort blinde ouder-liefde geweldig vinden wat hun kroost op de mat legt. Het is alsof iemand geniaal is met Excel: Ik heb er respect voor en ik vind het knap, maar ik heb geen zin om drie kwartier te gaan zitten kijken naar hoe iemand anders zit te Excellen. Het beste aan dit album is dat het maar half zo lang is als Bitches Brew. Tussen de 1 en 2 sterren voor mij. Ik denk dat ik morgen op 1 klik.
Terrible kind of music…
I just don't like Jazz :-(
Hur många jävla jazzplattor är det bland de 1001. Blir så less så jag är på väg att ge upp.

I don't like jazz.
0/5 A little too jazzy for me. I'm not much of a real jazz fan.
För stökig jazz
A tough listen
What did I learn today - bebop jazz (or any of its subgenres) is not as repulsive as avant-garde jazz, at least for my small mind, but is still very hard to listen to. I am sure that Thelonious Monk is a great pianist and song writer, but we have to operate at a completely different wavelength (as are every band members). Brilliant Corners may as well be renamed to Thousand Sharp And Edgy Corners, because that is how I felt trying to comprehend this album. Maybe one day I'll try again, but for sure this is not the one.
OK 3 mins in, is it all going to be like this? skip ahead... yep. I'm sure he was influential. However for me listening now, this is a hard no.
I tried, but this is just not my thing ... the slower, melodic, hotel-bar type of jazz that it is. Give me some furious drumming, sax solos, and virtuoso trumpeting ...
Gud det är så tråkigt med jazz
I hated this album.
I don't get the appeal of Jazz
Sounded the same
Mmm long jazz songs definitely love that Yeah made it through like 2 minutes
Toet toet! Ik snap wel dat ik deze vergeten was om een cijfer te geven. Dit is niet aan mij besteed.
First, use a piano that's in tune. Next find somebody that knows how to play it and by that I mean hitting the keys in the right order and at the right time.....
good music but not my thing
Just wanted it to stop
No, 1001 Albums, I won't let you do this to me, I refuse! Someone took some instruments, threw them into a washing machine, and set it to spin. They then took the result, threw it out of a tenth floor window, where it landed on some musicians and recording equipment. This is the result. I lasted ten minutes, much longer than I thought I could, or should have. This disorganises my thoughts and it hurts. It is not for me. Just no!
Well, this was fun. Not. Sorry, really not my type of music. It feels like elevator music and I didn't even notice when the album was over because Spotify just moved on to another album. Just music for the background that I couldn't bring myself to pay attention to.
Not the kind of jazz that I can appreciate.
Not my style
no jazz pfff
Not my thing, bit stressful . A lot of the songs sounded like the Cruella Deville theme song
A hate crime
Hated it
jAzZ 🤦♀️
The only Jazz I like is the Queen album.
Not through lack of trying but I just couldn’t get into this. For me the music just didn’t flow, constant change of tempo and beat made the music feel very disjointed.
This jazzy bop type of album is great to put on in the background, but it's not my type of music so it didn't appeal to me.
Not my thing
Not for me
Yeah, no thanks. I like Jazz too!
jazz
It’s jazz. If you like jazz then here’s some jazz for you. It sounds like all the other jazz so maybe this is good jazz or maybe this is middle of the road jazz. It’s definitely jazz though.
Nope...I am not a Jazz fan.
Not my taste
Jazzy jazz be doop a doop doop.
