Every Miles Davis Album: #7

Airegin starts the album of really well. It's a fast paced song and sounds really nice and then there's Oleo. I didn't really like Oleo that much. I thought it was pretty boring and nothing interesting or new and it was way too long. I just lost interest in it half way through.
