When I do listen I'm told it's a 9.

Yeah I agree it can get boring in a modern context but considering how it's the primarily recognised record in pioneering Free Jazz as apposed to Coltrane, Brubeck and Gillespie and how it culturally, techniqualy and musically changed and pushed the progression of Jazz through the 20th century. It has to be a 10 from me.

Either you're thinking of modal jazz, or you're thinking of Bitches Brew, or you're just high. Still massively influential of course, but I've never heard free jazz get pinned on it. That usually goes to The Shape of Jazz to Come.

I just refreshed, was about to edit. Yeah I meant Modal.

Edit: Now I'm thinking about free jazz, wouldn't be a bad idea to nominate some Taylor, Monk or Giuffre

You don't take rejection well, do you? ;)

i gave it an 8. it's probably better than an 8, i just don't enjoy it more than an 8. first few times i heard it i was in awe but since then i've just kind of looked at it as a great jazz album, not something i come back to enough to rate any higher. i mean, an 8 is still pretty damn high, and i can't imagine this not easily making the classic list.

If you think OH is bent out of shape now, wait until someone comes around and gives it a 2 :laughing:

It’s the same as giving it a 9. There’s no degrees to blasphemy.

The album that got me, and probably about 10 billion other people, into jazz. It's still got it after all these years. Brings back mad nostalgia and is still perfect for a rainy day.

@OH Dishonesty is the worst kind of blasphemy.
