Honestly, I've never even heard of it. What kind of music is it?

what i'm really trying to do is comprehend why so many people here like it so much. i understand not all music can be taken at face value or instantly liked, so i want to see what is really the charm of this, so even if i don't enjoy it, at least understand it. it's in the title you know

Part The Second's charm comes from the depth of the sound. The guitar is somehow brutal yet beautiful. The songs are so busy and full, and the production manages to find a way to emphasize every detail in a way that everything sounds dissonent yet together. Truly an intelligently crafted albuum and an audiophile's wet dream. What isn't to love?

ok i understand , but when i first listened to it, it seemed to slow moving and a bit boring. just saying.

but maybe it's cause i didn't listen to it with headphones on, there's some records i heard lately that i should've done that in the first place, hehe.

but yeah i'll give it another spin

I think I've listened to it twice and bother occasions I just found it annoying and unmemorable but I see it regarded as some of their best work.

I don't understand how such an amazing track like The Lotus Eater, can be on album that's so boring.

i've tried this one a handful of times and never made it through.

Heh, my favorite Davis album. I don't know how you could not like it, it's so accessible for a jazz album.

I mean Bitches Brew, now there's a challenging listen.

The truth about this album is that (close your ears people) it's really only the second half that's that good; starting with Blue in Green and ending with Flamenco Sketches. So What and Freddie Freeloader are decent songs, but the last three songs, especially Blue in Green, make the album. I may be burned at the stake for heresy, but Kind of Blue just may be the most overrated album of all time.
