A surprisingly low 7.83 for Ys. Or maybe it’s not that surprising

At last we have a HGIIR for a jazz album, and what an album: John Coltrane - A Love Supreme. How good is it really?
It’s a fucking ten no doubt.

It’s just ear poison to me. Enjoy your chat, see you all next week.

really good isn’t it
i’m always trying to get more into jazz but only some albums land for me, this is one that does. it’s wild and frenetic but it still has hooks and looping basslines keeping it grounded. love when that chant of the album title comes in on track 1

Wow, big choices.
Gone with Tubular Bells as I think it’ll be the most entertainment value

Tried it after the HGATR but honestly it feels like I must be getting something different to what everyone else gets on Spotify when I press play because I didn’t even make it through the first track.

Not heard this one. I like some jazz an awful lot.
Tried it numerous times and hated it each time. One of those albums I’ve accepted I’ll never understand.

Normally really don’t like jazz but I listened to this recently during the HGATR and I absolutely fucking love it. 10/10.

Why is the album poll closed already? And why is it Slayer?!?

Can’t see how a Reign in Blood thread will provide any new grounds for discussion that weren’t covered in the 3000 post HGATR thread tbh.

Some great playing on this record. Would be even better if they were all playing the same song at the same time.

Well spotted and good question. I set the the close time wrong initially and then changed it so that’s probably why. i’ve opened it now

Yeah, I think you’re right but I did promise mid-pu I’d put it on the list and I’m a man of my word. Oh well, more shower cans chat

Nae got any interest in Soundgarden, but I’ll vote for it in the hope it can topple em.
I like it mostly for Elvin Jones’s drumming. I could listen to just that on its own.
