0.0 | JimmyTwoTimes | November 13th 09 | Now, I'm not going to do a tiresome and tedious soundoff which consists of 'original' statements like as my peers did consisting of 'beautiful, melodic, passionate.' That shit's more watered down than a can of Natty Light. Put that Crown Royal in a glass and let that album smolder like a fine cigar.

5.0 classic | Bedex | February 22nd 20 | I don't know what it is, but there is something special about this record. This is jazz that tells a story, even in its dissonances and its quirks. It tells a story of noir New York, of lost times, of love perhaps. It has an inexplicable darkness to it. The opener is the one that makes me a bit doubtful that it could be a perfect 5.0. 2 and 3 are the most accessible jams, the former being one of my fave jazz tracks period and 3 being more upbeat and heavy on the drums in a lovely, fun almost gershwin-esque way. 4's a perfect conclusion and honestly, this might be the jazz album I 5 some day. In the context of his discogs, this kind of marks the start of Coltrane's shift towards more dissonant/free territories, which was already hinted at in prior albums but is here really showing prominently, particularly again on the piano. 4.8 Edit 22/3/23: the opener is perfect, dammit this is a 5.0

5.0 classic | brandtweathers | January 6th 08 | Unbelievably complex and rewarding, this album pushes musical abilities in every direction. Of the dozens of times that I've tried to follow the myriad of melodies to their fruition, I've been successful some, failed other times, and others I grew from; these implications and wealth of impact create a full experience similar to living or reading shakespeare.
That sounds dramatic but honestly, following Coltrane and his backing here is the finest example of music being everything at once. Try following every cadence then try doing the for a different instrument on the same track; this album has more easter eggs than the Cadbury factory.

4.5 superb | Erwann S. STAFF | May 8th 23 | Trane's ascent towards spiritual jazz. He's displaying his supreme love to the lord who liberated him from his addictions (drugs and sugar), and it shows: it's one of the few records where almost all music was preemptively written (except for one solo), and said music bears gospelian adorns thanks to the spoken word and litanic aspect of the leitmotiv. His Lord is not the traditional image of God: He is Trane's own God, a blend of Methodism, Islam, African paganism, Hinduism, Kabbale, cosmology, and Trane's ipseity. In Trane's own words, this record is made of elation (the bookends), elegance (Resolution), and exaltation (Pursuance).

4.5 superb | GamamJ | August 13th 20 | Amazing. Dissonant, but at the same time so melodic and consonant. Tyner?s solos are mindnumbing and of course all of Coltrane, Garrison and Jones crush it as always.

5.0 classic | kheman1317 | February 20th 19 | This album is to music what Godfather is to movies. It is an essential gem in the world of music, regardless of genre, and no true musician can deny that.rThe bass, piano are amazing. But special shout out to Elvin Jones. When these three are playing, it is like a heavenly musical fusion going on. And then the saxophone kicks in, and further drives the music to a whole new level.

3.5 great | EasterInTheBatcave | June 14th 16 | It's impossible to go into an album like A Love Supreme-- an album that has amassed such a legendary status-- completely unbiased. Its critical appraisal means that, if you don't like it, the tendency is to think something must be wrong with you, and not the album-- a reaction generally not afforded albums devoid of epic reputations. With that disclaimer in mind, I can report that A Love Supreme is, well, a supreme record, and that its status is well-deserved. Each member of the quartet performs impeccably, and the compositions are engaging and bold ("A Love Supreme, Pt. 3: Pursuance," which features an opening drum solo and a closing 3-minute bass solo). A truly wonderful record.

5.0 classic | Progmaster85 | October 25th 09 | So entertaining, so full of life. Any fan of music should be able to appreciate A Love Supreme. The master of jazz handles the tracks without any impediment whatsoever. Scintillating to every degree of the word.

0.0 | Acidicity | January 10th 07 | You can take that Miles Davis and shove it. John Coltrane is the master of jazz, hands down. A Love Supreme is easily his finest work. The sax is vocal and expressive, and the rest of the band backs it wonderfully. Even if you don't like jazz, you will like this. It's a force of nature.
