Everyone should buy this

"I've been thoroughly impressed with my experience with the Weather Report so far. Every one of their songs focuses on melodic and instrumental jazzy jams, and every time I hear a track from one of their classic albums, it just gets better and better the more I hear it.



Now I probably prefer Return to Forever because I feel they write slightly more interesting, fascinating and adventurous songs (a matter of opinion of course) but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the Weather Report's accomplishments and sometimes put these guys on the same level.



Black Market is easily a 5-star album to me. Whether this kind of music is considered jazz, rock, or some other musical genre that's not entering my head at the moment, the fact remains that music like this doesn't really occur anymore. At least, not with the kind of creativity and adventurous scope of talent that these guys brought to the table.



I recommend everything from the mid 70's that the Weather Report has released. Then pick up some Return to Forever albums released from the same time period to hear music that's equally as breathtakingly awesome."
