The three hundred and seventy-fourth album: #374 Weather Report - Heavy Weather
I've been on and off jazz throughout the blog, with more recent fusion tracks appealing to me a lot more than the original albums. That seems like it ended with Heavy Weather. While far from unlistenable, the build up didn't work for me, the effects that were introduced unnecessary and while there was a theme running throughout, I also didn't feel much cohesion for my brain to grab on to. The basic jazz sound here doesn't work for me, and the diversions and experiments don't do much to change that for me with this album.
