I've got to say that I'm in a similar boat to you.I mean, to be fair... the Aja mafia keeps bringing it up. And I just keep saying the same thing. So really, if all the irrationally angry and not at all chill Aja fans don't want to hear me saying "elevator dentist", then they should probably just stop asking me...

I don't hate the album but it has never really clicked with me. I bought it after hearing it hailed as one of the 'must have' albums and was kind of a let down when I heard it. I think for me its a case of overhyping than anything though, the same reason why I seem to just think of The Beatles as an OK but overhyped group. On paper it should be an album I really connect with, there are tons of jazz legends in there like Bernard Purdie, Victor Feldman, Wayne Shorter, Bill Perkins etc.
