1001 Albums Summary

some of the most groovy music i've ever heard. lots of fun. if you're a drummer like me you will absolutely fanboy over the amazing moments from tony allen and ginger baker on this record. great tunes

mm soulful indeed

nothing necessarily fantastic but the big band interplay is an interesting chemistry that can't be found in every aspect of jazz. with that being said, this isn't the most interesting jazz you can listen to, that's for sure...

i'll be clear there are parts of this record that surprised me and interesting songwriting moments that i wouldn't come to expect in a random 70s hard rock album, nevertheless one made by fucking eric clapton [rolls eyes] with that being said this is a double album clocking in at 77 minutes and while it's not the most boring thing in the world it is still considerably bloated; case isn't necessarily helped by each one of these "whatever songs" jumping into the same fucking generic 70s blues jam every time. some of these 5-7 minute songs go on for what feels like 15 minutes, and not in a good way! but hey nevertheless the good songs were pretty chill so i gotta say that if you like the vibe then you like the vibe man
