An album that is so much more than just "Take Five". I've heard this album quite a few times. I'd say it's a great album for those that want to explore jazz a little more. Great listening and not too abstract enough to put off non-jazzers.
So here's the thing with reviewing albums that came out over 50 years ago. You can't review an album comparable to what came after it. For me, no particular songs stood out except "our house" just because of the nostalgia of old TV adverts (in the UK anyway). The album came out in 1970 so It's probably "peak" "that sound" where bands are merging blues, psych, folk and rock (and a pinch of the Beatles for the audience gains). I personally think there were other bands at the time doing more interesting things and creating more interesting songs than what's going on in this album. What I think what stood out the most were the harmonies. They're very nice and what you need to think that this would of been done live in the studio, minus any autotune.
