No need for the mixed reviews it receives; even though I know why it gets them. As inaccessible as this is, as weird and fucked up as this is, as blatantly odd as this is, its totally bad ass. Absolutely fun as all hell.

Of course this is Miles Davis' best album. I don't think anyone can deny that.

81/100. A joyride of funk-laced rhythms and head-nodding fusion. As a listener biased to Davis's more experimental work, I found myself enthralled by On the Corner's deep grooves and swirling guitars. Davis's ability to fuse jazz, funk, and rock is at a near pinnacle on this record, showing once again the trumpeter's innovation and groundbreaking influence over Jazz-Fusion.

"It may sound weird even today, but On the Corner is the most street record ever recorded by a jazz musician. And it still kicks".- Thom Jurek

Oh No, Miles Davis! He's one of those dudes I'm supposed to like if I've got any right to call myself a Fan of Music. Surely? At some point in my life I'm going to end up liking Jazz, and turning 50 seems as appropriate as any other. So, when I struck up a conversation with a man and he promised he'd lend me Bitches Brew, I said ... um, yeah, why not... Sure. He gave me Bitches Brew, I gave him Tom Waits 'Outlaws' in exchange. Bitches Brew is quite nice, but dull, very very dull. So, instead, he gave me On the Corner.
I was scared, I admit. This could be my last chance to discover age-appropriate music, but the musicians included some of the most boring instrumentalists ever heard, who've been responsible for some of my most terrible nights around people's houses; when they've tried to get me stoned and make me listen to Smooooooth music. Weather Report and the Mahavishnu Orchestra literally make me vomit. Flashback anxiety.
However, I needn't have worried. On the Corner is much better: Broken beats, bizarre edits and cuts, a weird selection of instruments, all bolted together in a non-smooth way. Non-smooth is good. The CD booklet even had a guide to what was going on - very funny. There are, inevitably, some long tedious passages of fret-wank and slabs of cheesy keyboards, but I was enthused. Jazz post 1963 might not all be bad.

This stuff is just so funky! The first song is one of the finest pieces of music I've ever heard. Miles is associated with complex stuff but this one is straight forward and right in your face. Any one with even a slight interest in rock or funk should definately check this one out.
