This one's a bit of a mess but enjoyable overall, I think. It sure seems like the band wasn't sure what kind of band they wanted to be so the album bounces from genre to genre, never settling into a groove. Is it rock? Is it proto-disco? Is it pre-funk? Is it big band? Is it lounge-lizard soft pop? I really couldn't tell you. There are a few bright spots. Jim Fielder, the bassist does some serious work on this whole album. That fella is a BEAST and single-handedly carries several of these tracks. And, obviously, "Spinning Wheel" is a jam. But it's also the single most coherent track on the album. Which is saying something because that song is kinda wild. Unfortunately, there aren't enough bright spots to tip the scales into a positive score. I have to dock the album a star for the weird instrumental tracks that really don't fit. Had "Variations on a Theme" and "Blues, Pt. 2" been omitted from the album, it would have felt so much more cohesive. But they're there. And they're awful. And so "Blood, Sweat, & Tears" earns a middle-of-the-road 3 stars.

This is such a weird album. Wikipedia categorizes it as jazz-rock but I feel most songs aren’t the intersection of the two genres but instead different sections that alternate between classic rock and jazzy horn solos. More jazz and rock than jazz-rock. And the album is bookended by variations on a classical piece. In the end, a decently fun listen. 7/10

There's a track that shows they know how to play the piano and jam but the music is very AM sounding psychedelic that didn't age well. This sounds like the soundtrack from an Austin Powers movie.

In 1969, I turned 19 &, still living at home, also held the first backyard party where I invited everyone I knew. I seem to remember that this album was a large part of the soundtrack to that bash. I’s copped a lot of criticism over the years for being too mainstream, particularly when compared to the band’s debut album. I just played them back-to-back & the fact is they are both great but totally different. The debut album was half written by Al Kooper, who was essentially the band’s creator, but also highlighted a bunch of songwriters who had yet to make their mark as performers - Nillson, Randy Newman, Tim Buckley. Then Al left the band & his somewhat weak vocal was replaced by David Clayton-Thomas. You could not get 2 more different voices. But the thing I’m forever grateful for are the song choices the band took on the second lp. They introduced me to such great music - I had never heard of Erik Satie. The opening cover of a Satie variation is a piece of music I’ve heard so often over the years, but this was where I heard it first. I had never heard Billie Holiday, let alone God Bless The Child. I’d never heard Laura Nyro’s And When I Die. I’d never heard the Motown classic, You’ve Made Me So Very Happy. Not to say that there wasn’t great original material here as well - especially Spinning Wheel - covered by so many artists over the years. Anyone whose ever had a child in a school choir in the last 50 years knows that song. You can hear the band’s live set from Woodstock (1969) on youtube. I do love this record.

The time in the late 60's where the jazz audience, the cool soul frogs, the blues birds and the hippies all came together and listened to a very stoned David Clayton-Thomas. Because there are so many styles on this album and it jumps from compact jumpy songs to long experimental instrumentals, the album does have a somewhat ambivalent character. But there's something for everyone to be found on this album.

Another band I never knew existed until this album popped up on my screen, but I'm happy they do exist. There's some real crap in here, I'll be real with you. But if you ignore the 12 minutes of Blues, Pt. 2 then it's a very solid album. You've Made Me So Very Happy is one of my new favorite songs, the vocals are actually a very interesting gravelly sound that fits with the jazzy orchestra sound behind. The surprise factor always helps with the rating in these cases, and I'm eager to come back to the album at a later time.

The compositions - really, the whole composition - has a thrown-together quality that is hard to shake, even with the deft early piano and late fades. It also works, in the way good live jazz recordings can. This isn't that, near as can tell: Plenty of artifice. But it's Canadian artifice in service of something compelling.

Never heard of these guys but oooo this first song is pretty jazzy towards the end. Just realized the first side is all covers besides one song. Jazzy muufuggin covers. Ok I know Spinning Wheel this song fucks. You Make Me So Very Happy is also a jam that I've heard before. WHERE IS BLUES PT. I???? Should be the anthem for Blues games. If jazz and psychedelic music met and had a baby, and meanwhile rock and r&b met and had a baby. By some miracle if those two babies met and fucked, this would be the shit they birthed.

Crazy unique album that I had no idea where it was going to go after the first song. Really like the jazzy symphony beginning that then turned into sounding like Deep Purple. Then finished off with the absolute banger of Blues pt2. The drum solo and jazz mix was awesome and I think there was even a Cream sample thrown in

I was not expecting peaceful, orchestral music from the get go. Definitely settles more into a jaunty big-room style of music that I love. Some parts remind me of Final Fantasy.

Oh hell to the yes. Can't fault this album for variety, energy, or virtuosity. Starts with that cool Gymnopedie cover, then the rock kicks in. Fun fact: the band toured with Jason Paige as their lead singer; he's best known for singing the theme song to Pokémon.

Album 103 of 1001 Blood, Sweat & Tears - Blood, Sweat & Tears Rating : 4 / 5 Favorite Track : Spinning Wheel A personal favorite. I really wanted to put a 5 on it, but there are some weaker moments. If I were producing, I would have probably put the songs in a different order so as to grab the listener a little quicker and also cut back on the 12 minute "Blues" track. It could have started and ended a bit stronger. Fun album. Little rock, little jazz. Is it this or is it that? Some good tunes.

Realized as I started listening to this that it was one of these bands I had in my head as a thing with no clear or examined idea of what they were actually about. Just a disconnected name. If you'd played me the two well-known songs off this LP blind I couldn't have told you who they were by. Anyway pretty odd, maybe. Little too show-tuney quite often for my tastes, but I generally liked it, and an extra point for unabashed wierdness.

I'm new to Blood, Sweat & Tears and I enjoyed this intro quite a lot! It made for great Monday morning work music. I recognise Spinning Wheel from a few places. I read that they have quite a wild story of shooting to fame and crashing quite hard after about 3 albums. I'd like to listen to those other albums but I can see why this was in the middle of the 3. SUCH a 60s sound, I really enjoy his voice it's lovely. I found this album so inventive and creative, found myself dancing a lot which is great. I also felt like listening went by so quickly which is another great sign, I couldn't find anything but the extended version but didn't even find it too long! Was about to list some highlights but then I'd end up writing the whole thing. Blues Pt. 2 was maybe my fave though. Loved the beginning and ending too. Loved the mix of jazz, blues and rock. The only thing I don't really understand and can't be bothered to figure it out, is the mix of what they've written themselves and what is covered. It seems like there was a lot of changes in the group...

You wonder who had the idea to create an LP featuring Erik Satie movements with the bluesy, burly voice of David-Clayton Thomas, not to mention the combo of jazz horns and rock, the jazz-worthy piano solo in “Smiling Phases”, the alto solo in “Blues Part 2” and a handful of pop-radio hits. I guess that was one of the great things about the late sixties: you could get a record contract for thinking outside of the box. There is only one original cut on the album and it’s the best one, IMO, David Clayton Thomas’ “Spinning Wheel” but his stellar voice brings life to many of the covers. A 5 all the way but I don’t like the interpolations of other peoples' hits in the lengthy Blues Part 2.

I really don't know what to think about this album - I'd need to listen a few times. There were parts that I really enjoyed (the vocals were great), and parts that I didn't enjoy. I think overall it was pretty good. I'd give it 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.

This album was a solid three stars, until Spinning Wheel and You've Made Me So Very Happy, both of which slap in different ways. Also, covering Satie is a move. For a fairly traditional band, they have so much variety, depth and groove. If they ever formed the super group Blood, Sweat, Tears, Earth, Wind and Fire (and Water) it'd be the greatest thing ever.

With their original bandleader Al Kooper gone, heralding an near-constant revolving door of line-ups, the nine-piece Blood, Sweat & Tears make an ambitious, confounding album that barely holds itself together. Restless, convoluted and virtuosic, it's certainly a fun listen but also a frustrating one at times. Many of the songs here are covers, and so a main draw of "Blood, Sweat & Tears" is hearing them interpreted by a large brass ensemble and a group of very talented session musicians. Sometimes this works well: the rocking cover of Traffic's "Smiling Phases", or a concise and reasonably faithful rendition of "You've Made Me So Very Happy." However, other times it's a little bit hackneyed. Erik Satie's "Gymnopédie" is a lovely piece in its own right, and I'm not sure how much I needed to hear it on classical guitar and flute, bookending the album. Later, an incredibly bombastic "Sunshine for Your Love" and "Spoonful" both make appearances in the yawning "Blues, Pt. II", while Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" is extended with an aimless jazz-rock jam crowbarred into the middle. Covers don't usually bother me, but in this instance I end up with a nagging suspicion the band had to rely on other artists' work before sprucing them up with their technical chops and passing it off as an "improvement". This comes across most of all on "And When I Die", a beautiful song which I'd never heard before. The original recording by Laura Nyro (she wrote it at 16!) is profound, moving and already displays impressive musicianship. This one gets a little lost in showing off, as the band butcher it into a hokey Broadway cabaret tune with baffling tempo changes and pregnant pauses. All style and no substance, foreshadowing Yes's treatment of Simon and Garfunkel's "America". With principal songwriter Al Kooper gone, the originals are also a mixed bag, and it's perhaps telling that they weren't the biggest hits of the album. However, while "Sometimes In Winter" is maudlin and distracted, I did enjoy "More and More" and "Spinning Wheel": both good fun, with tremendous use of the brass section. For all my quibbles on the song selections and treatments, I really can't fault the performances here: they're all very strong, particularly the rhythm section who contend with changes all over the map. Bobby Colombey's jazz-influenced drumming patterns and Jim Fielder's all-over-the-place-in-the-best-way bass are two of the record's strongest assets, and of course the brass section gives the band a signature sound to set them apart from many of their peers. David Clayton-Thomas's searing lead vocals give some much-appreciated bite. Overall this is a good listen, if a bit uneven: the arrangements are so dense and complex that they will likely grow on me more with time, and I wouldn't be opposed to hearing it again.

Kinda confusing listen. Start with a classical rendition of Erik Satie then we go into Jazz Rock? Why? Just start on "Smiling Phases". Is it a "Aha, gotcha!" moment where the listener expects more classical-type music due to the instruments? Didn't work for me, but maybe cause it's not 1968 anymore.

When I first saw this album was next up I rolled my eyes. Don’t know much about BS&T but I didn’t have high hopes. I gotta say, I really liked a few of these songs. And When I Die had a movie soundtrack feel vibe to it. Like that one slot. Spinning Wheel was the only song I was familiar with and it’s solid, but goofy. More and More was another great one. I’ll take that drum/organ solo over jazzy stuff any day. Smiling Phases is just….fun. Until it got jazzy. I’m just not digging the jazzy. A couple of boring songs, a couple of jazz songs that I’ll skip in a heartbeat in future listenings, too. You’ve Made Me So Happy is half good/half gross. It ends with Blues #2 which is just jazz and just not my thing. Overall, I half dig this, half hate it, lol. So it gets a 3. The good parts get a 4, the bad parts get a 1. Overall, 3 from me, dawg.

Decent bluesy rock. Most of it kind of drifts on by without making much of an impression though. 5/10

1968 is never a cause for celebration here, cover doesn't give anything away. Beatles-esque nonsense? Ok no it's definitely American, like a jazzy take on the pop music of the time? Not too bad, but got boring and became background noise after a while. 3/5.

Interesting and refreshing music but ultimately fails to leave a lasting impression

Honestly didn't enjoy this as much as I expected to, and it had all the ingredients that would go into an album that I would absolutely love. It was still quite good, and I'm not even sure entirely what was missing for me. Just one of those things where it didn't fully connect for me
