Rated 4/10
'You've Made Me So Very Happy' was kind of good, but that's about it.
Rated 8/10
This one does a great job conveying that jazz-rock sound with the brass instrumentation. Much like Chicago but a little more Bluesy than I expect from them. The vocalist is entertaining too. The intro and outro are an interesting choice that I quite like. Favorites were More And More, Spinning Wheel, You’ve Made Me So Happy, and Blues, Pt. 2.
Rated 8/10
Funky proto prog. I dig it.
Rated 6/10
Proto-Prog Rock, lots of weirdly familiar riffs that you can't quite put your finger on. The Hammond organ and jazzy bass are the real stars here.
Rated 4/10
Ein bisschen Blues, Jazz, Big-Band und Rock im Stil der späten 60er. Also würde man „The Who“ & „Simon & Garfunkel“ mischen. Vieles von den Stücken überzeugt nicht. Interssant klingt „And When I Die“, ein typischer Song ist „Spinning Wheel“ und fast unhörbar ist „Blues Prt.2“. Ingesamt halte finde ich das Album schlecht.
Rated 6/10
I really enjoyed some of these songs. The first half of the album was on a roll, loved the upbeat catchy songs. The 2nd half bored me and it was a bit all over the place

I don't think I've even been so into jazz fusion. The whole thing was wonderful top to bottom
Rated 6/10
A cool piece but I am not captivated by it
Rated 6/10
Technically excellent, but fairly uninspiring. Good though, just a bit meh

Rated 6/10
Some nice tunes, and a pretty standout sound for that era, but not something super appealing to my ears.
Rated 6/10
I love the jazz aspects mixed in here. The parts that push that forward are the most interesting to me. The vocals don't do a lot for me but thankfully it's instrumental for a large portion. Not sure I'd listen to it super frequently but it's fun and different especially for a 60s album.
Rated 8/10
Much better than I expected. Surprised on how jazzy it was, but it really worked for the album. 3.5/5
Rated 4/10
Small town bar house band takes requests and invites locals up to sing
Rated 4/10
Not a fan. It was just weird, and not in a way that I appreciated at all.
Rated 6/10
Joitain kiinnostavia jazz-elementtejä tässäkin, hieman keskimääräistä parempi. 3/5
Rated 8/10
Loved the record. But it sill wouldve been a low for if it wasnt for Blues pt2. Insane track and beautiful drumming
Rated 8/10
I love Blood, Sweat and Tears and I love this album. To me they get the rock part of jazz-rock better than just about anybody. Such tightness in the band, amazing musicianship in each instrumentalist, and David Clayton-Thomas’s gruff vocals are so powerful and earthy. And I think the melodic bass lines had a profound impact on me as a songwriter.
The opening track was my introduction to Erik Satie, who I consider to be one of my all time favorite composers. “And When I Die” and “Spinning Wheel” are amazing songs that just go so hard.
It’s not a perfect album, but it’s a damn good one!
Rated 4/10
Spinning wheel is really the only highlight, and that’s just ok. Generic jam band stuff otherwise.
Rated 8/10
Some good 60s jazz rock
