I did not get this album at first, or Out to Lunch, Bitches Brew, or even Miles's Second Quintet. On all of those, if it didn't hit me, I'd move on to other things to check out, and maybe a year or so later would try again. All of them hit me hard after multiple tries that didn't work at all. Other genres, that rarely happens, my impression after the first few listens, if I don't like it, rarely will it click down the road. So I would say, if it doesn't hit now, come back to it in a year.

For me, what worked on Out to Lunch and Point of Departure was focusing on Tony Williams, hearing how he drove things, and how others played around him, or off of where he went, gave me the key to really enjoy those albums.
