Rated 8/10

a pleasant listen from start to finish and it sounds amazing

Rated 6/10

Cómo sopla el audio analógico al principio de "So what". Qué raro resulta oír ese ruido hoy en día en un mundo de silencio digital y remásteres. Me gusta pero no es de los que más he disfrutado.

Rated 4/10

I know I'm supposed to like this album. People lose their shit over it all the time. I just didn't care, and I found it completely boring. It's just not for me, and I'll take the hit for not being able to appreciate it.

Rated 10/10

This is an instant 5 for me. The evocative tones, groove for days, and phenominal orchestration are just to die for. So What has these little jaunts into different key centers, like trying on different coats at a store. Flamenco Sketches is a song with so much internal story telling it is impossible to ignore. This worst part is that the album ends. Bill Evans on the piano for most of the recording is such a treat.

Rated 10/10

A perfectly balanced record. Miles may have downplayed this in later years because he had to move on and continue to innovate, but this is a thing of beauty.

Rated 6/10

Very impressive, and enjoyable, and creative. Instrumentals rarely move me as much as songs with lyrics.

Rated 10/10

There aren't many jazz albums I sing along with--because they're instrumentals!--but this is one. I just find my voice singing whatever. I'm not sure why. It's only with this jazz album. Maybe it's because the music is just so damn smooth and melodic. Maybe it's because I've listened to and loved this album so much. Whatever the case, I drink this music. If music was a slushy alcoholic drink on a hot summer's day, the liquid would be blue, and the bottle from which the concoction came would have this album cover as a label.

Rated 10/10

An absolute classic. This might actually have been the first time I've listened to the album in full but I've been aware of every single song, some in different versions.

What a quality in songwriting and musicians on this one album.

Rated 8/10

Mer klassisk jazz jämfört med hans andra i listan. Inte lika roligt men perfekt som bakgrunds-musik.
