In A Silent Way

I get the importance of this but I think I just have to accept that jazz is not my thing. Annoyingly, cause my name is literally Jazz. I had to accept recently that magical realism is not my thing in literature. Glad that Magical Realism is not my middle name at least.

apenas lo vi dije ah mira dos canciones claro cada una dura VEINTE MINTUOS hoy no lo termine de escuchar pero volveré

18 minutos, es demasiadisimooooo!!!!!!! Estuvo bien, pero no me gustan las canciones muy largaaaaaassssssss!!!!!

I was confused when I saw that there were only two songs. Then I looked closer and oh god. I get that this is more common for jazz, but I just haaate it. Call me too young for only being alive during the standard 3 minute song, but it's just the sweet spot like it or not. I enjoy longer songs, but it's just such a rare occurence for me. These songs clearly don't fit into that. The songs sound pretty much the same for ALMOST 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT. I'm sorry I just can't like this at all. I'm strictly rating based on how much I like the music. I just can't repeat this experience like ever. It doesn't sound bad. he wouldn't have been that popular if it did, it's just that... it's bland? I don't feel anything listening to this. It's cool and all, maybe it works best as some waiting room background music cause the type we have now is horrible. Final thoughts: Not interesting to me in any way, sorry.

Dont like jazz 😕

i would only listen to 20 minutes songs if they're pink floyd's, nevermind

This was a pile of nothing. Not even that much trumpet playing on the album.

Only 2 song?

01) Shhh/Peaceful - 5,0 02) In a Silent Way/It's About That Time - 3,0 TOTAL: 4,0 Current ranking: 761/779

i like songs with words and not 10 plus mins 0/10

Enough already, you can't tell me one Miles Davis album sounds much different than the next. It's all boring to me and I don't appreciate Jazz. Wandering music with no hook, no hits, no baseline, no vocals, it's just blah! Two songs, 40 mins. No wonder Jazz is so niche. One star

Yeah … not for me. Discordant and avant-garde.

This list has too much fucking jazz

Not my kind of music

Album Nr. 94 Richtiger Jazz und ich werden in diesem Leben vermutlich keine Freunde mehr.

I know he’s a legend …. But Jazz is just something I don’t get. Kudos to those who do

Can't say I took much of anything out of In A Silent Way. It's two unspectacular jazz songs book ended by boring jazz dabbling. At least there is some electric influence in it to make it sound a little less outdated but nothing in the playing stood out really. Poor drum guy had to play the same consistent boring beat for 20 minutes. This did very little for me and I'm ready to move on from Miles Davis. 0.79 stars

1. Peaceful -1.5 2. Silent -1.5

Day 71 I definitely realise this is a me problem because of how highly Miles Davis is generally regarded but I absolutely hated this album and couldn’t wait for it to be over with. I’m probably just an uncultured swine but I can only rank on personal enjoyment so it’s a 1/10

If only the title had been accurate.

I am 125 albums in, and this is my third Miles Davis album. That is two too many. When I listen to this along with other Miles Davis it sounds like it's just a bunch of instruments doing their own thing, I see no logic to the arrangement and it is not enjoyable, in fact with this album it is downright annoying. 1 star, no more Miles Davis please.

Not my thing.

No

Lost on me

Elevator jazz

Did not like

not my thing

No

p165.1969. 1 star. Just because something is technically proficient does not mean it is worthwhile listening. This is the perfect case example. I wish he had produced this in a silent way.

Miles Davis is an amazing musician, I'm just not that into instrumental jazz. Best song: Shhh / Peaceful

This was fine sitting at my desk and listening to, but I do not think I would be able to just sit at home and listen. Miles Davis is a good musician, but not my kind of jazz.

Boring as hell. Stopped in minute 10

Jazz

Jazz is just background music to me. Nice but I'd never actively listen to it

This just makes me feel nervous.

Honestly, a lot of noise. I'm not a virtuoso so just sounded random with good bits mixed in.

I love jazz. But I think this album should be on the list of albums you should never listen to. I had to go listen to other stuff he's done and it wasn't even close to being as bad as this album, although most of his stuff still sounds like noodling to me. I hate noodling and this entire album was nothing but slow noodling with no structure at all. Made me want to run out of the room.

jazz.

I've tried over the years, but I'm obviously not the audience for this. Just sounds like lots of noodling on the horn. I just can't see/hear the appeal.

Another trumpet jazz album. Nuff said.

An album of slightly more than nothing.

I do not like this album because the songs don't have any words. The songs are also too long.

I do not like this album because there are no words. I would listen to this to sleep but I feel like its too slow but loud at the same time. I don't like how there are only 2 songs and the instruments are cool but still. I wouldnt recommend this album to other people.

If you want to listen to jazz music then you should listen to this album. I personally hated this album because it is jazz and I don't like that. I also don't like it because there are no lyrics and I feel like in music there should be lyrics to make it sound good. When you add those two things together, you get my least favorite type of music. I would not recommend this album to a friend because it is really bad and no one will or should like it.I give it 1 star out of 5.

in my opion i dont like it because there are no lyrics which is kinda not my music style of music. second i just think its to basic. the second one i also dont like because i dont like how his songs dosent have lyrics. i also dont like the queitness it just makes me kinda bored.

Different strokes for different folks. Not my thing

Langeweile ohne Ende!

Ooof, I struggle with 'free-form' Jaz, which speaks more to my inability to understand/enjoy it rather than the talents of the person performing it. Fuck that.

Too much noodling for me.

Not my cup of tea. after just 3 min I was so bored that I could not listen any more. But then Jazz is probably my last music that I want to listen to. I also need lyrics :)

Not for me. It may be great technique, but I really wouldn’t know.

First song was okay but got old quick. Don't like the second one.

Jazz-Fusion / Jazz-Rock album with just two tracks - need I say more? I'm not a Jazz fan, and especially not a fan of Jazz-Fusion, so isn't for me.

18 minute long song?? No.

Miles Davis’ In a Silent Way is a landmark in jazz fusion but can sometimes come across as more technically proficient than captivating. The album features a blend of jazz and ambient influences, showcasing Davis' innovative use of electric instruments and extended improvisations. While the title track and others display intricate arrangements and a sophisticated approach, the overall mood can feel subdued and lack the excitement of Davis' more dynamic works. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 0 STAND OUT TRACK - None

Definitely liked the vibes this album brought. Don’t think it was for me though, didn’t end up adding either to the playlist but for 38 minutes it was a good time.

I have no idea what I just listened to.

no me gusta el jazz

Makes my atoms feel like they’re in the wrong place

Tässä yhdistyy taituruus jonkinlaiseen atmosfääriseen himmailuun. Aikaansa edellä, sanottaisiin. En vain ole lainkaan kiinnostunut kuuntelemaan.

People who enjoy this must be really crazy or retarded. I wanna puke.

2 tracks which drag for 38 minutes. The sort of music that just makes you feel angry that you have to endure this simultaneously screechy, painful, slow and boring album. There is variety in the 2 tracks but it is all horrible

Not a trumpet fan

too much jazz

Ruim demais tu ta maluco

Did not listen, there's no lyrics and the instrumentals aren't my cup of tea

Too disorganised

Not into it

Nope, just no, skipped

Not for me.

Not my thing

If peeing your pants is cool...

Love the intro, the rest of the album is kind of meh

Je comprends pas le Jazz, plus jamais :')

Not my thing.

A bit busy and unfocused

There was not even 30 seconds I enjoyed.

No thanks

Not bad, but not my fav

I love you Miles, I'm sorry I rated this so low.

Meh?

Not my genre, just absolutely nothing for me

Bardzo staram się być open-minded i wmówić sobie że jazz jest OK, ale mam już prawie 40 lat i wciąż nie czaję jak można tego słuchać.

Zzzzzz This album was pretty lackluster for me. The first song, shhh/Peaceful, played off the same two cords the whole time. Which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't an 18 minute song. It got very old and almost annoying. In a silent way wasn't as stagnant but it was still way too slow for my tastes

I really don't have the time.

Not another Miles Davis album.... How many of these are on this list? This will be my third album of his reviewed thus far. This is the album right before Bitches Brew, which I reviewed a week ago. This is the start of that exploratory/experimental electric jazz that he continued to explore on Bitches Brew. I didn't enjoy it last week, and I still don't enjoy it today. The trumpet is an instrument fashioned by the devil to irritate the fuck out of people, and give them headaches; At least when the player is "experimenting" with the sounds it can make. If you're playing in a register that only dogs can hear, you can fuck off with your shrill sounding trumpet. I've learned that Herbie Hancock played keyboard on the first song, Shhh/Peaceful. That could explain why I disliked that song more than the second song. At least this album only consisted of 2 "songs" at 20 mins a piece, so it was over relatively quickly, but my God, how hard is it to have an idea, shape it into a song with a hook, and a structure, and record it? I like some smooth jazz, but this experimental bullshit is just garbage. Bad enough that they included 1 of these shitty albums, but 2? Fuck off. Favourite song: In A Silent Way, I guess... Least favourite song: by process of elimination, Shhh/Peaceful 1/5

don't like this at all

I must not like jazz. This was way too random and dull for my taste.

No thanks

Ya like Jazz? ;) ...no. I don't know what I was expecting from a track titled, "Shhh/Peaceful", but it somehow wasn't the most boring one.

Ну меня заебало на 13 минуте. Прям не мое

Thankfully, there were only two tracks available on Spotify and they were both bloody awful.

Jazz fusion I think. Just have my cup of tea.

No thank you miles 2 stupidly unnecessarily long shite songs does not make an album

Not silent enough

boring

3/10

what the hell am i even listening to here

Sorry - couldn’t listen to it all. Jazz trumpet just isn’t my bag y’know? It’s not jazz, it’s me. I’m sure I’m a different time and place, smoking gauloise and drinking red wine I might find it more tolerable….but alas not today.

Oops.. couldn't get through it.

Gepingel. Ik denk dat dit pure Jazz is, maar niet zo mijn ding. Iets te vaag. *

Das ist mir zu dünn

Jazz - meh.

i'm sorry but I barely lasted a minute before feeling like it certainly isn't an album for me.

Me entusisamaron las criticas que lei antes de escuchar este disco y habiendo escuchado kind of blue hace un tiempo pense en encotrarme algo mas fusion mas rock, pero es algo timido en ese sentido, es basicamente es lo que se podria esperar de parte de Miles pero apenas... mas electronico, me reservo los puntos para el proximo que Miles publico, pitches...

I just don't get this.

Sadly did not enjoy this album at all. It felt out of rhythym at times.

A two song album spanning almost 40 minutes... A bit too experimental for me, especially the organ/synthesizers

Haven't really got the taste for jazz yet

I love Miles Davis but don't love this album. The guitar bugs me.

Álbum (?) bueno, aunque sentí que las dos canciones eran básicamente la misma.
