We Like It Here

Ugh. Its not horrible sounding, but also its not really enjoyable. Proficiency in playing and busy-ness in music isn't enough to maintain my interest. I equate it to listening to a guitar solo without any of the music/context around it. There are a handful of guitar solos that can really stand on their own, but there far more in the "hey cool" or "this guy rips" category, but it isn't enjoyable to just listen to guitar solo after guitar solo. Was happy when it was over.

Though Snarky Puppy seems to like it here, I don't really like them here. This music if much to bland and indifferent. It lacks soul, effort and inspiration. It must be awful to be a great musician, but a mediocre composer.

First 4 tracks were like the deep, less fun cuts from the Pro Evo 2010 soundtrack. Last 3 tracks were better, but they ruined that goodness by applauding themselves at the end of each track. Smug gits.

Jazz Fusion

I think if I was the kind of person who knew how to read music, or had a better understand music theory, I'd also be the kind of person who'd appreciate this album. Alas...

Eh, it's fine – without any context (live album? soundtrack? concept album?) or introduction to the band, this reads as some nice but ultimately bland jazz that doesn't have much grit to it. Technically astounding, but even if someone juggled flaming bowling pins in front of you for an hour on end you'd still get bored because it's all the same!

Too heavy on the Jazz front for my liking.

The user list feels like a waste of time honestly. The whole point is essential albums yet everyone has to submit their niche picks. If even the person who submitted the album doesn’t have it as five stars then what is it doing here. Rating: 1.3

It was weak, kitschy, and annoying.

I didn't like it there #dnf

I would rather listen to a classroom full of children on a windy day on the last day of term.

Live instrumental album

A live album recorded over 4 days... Said and done.

It may be partly due to outside factors, but I thought that beyond the first two tracks of this 2014 jazz funk album it was self indulgent twaddle. Rating: 1.5 Playlist track: Shofukan Date listened: 27/09/24
