2 stars To some this may be a masterpiece, but for me this album is a confusing and explosive, tense and aggressive.A disappointment in some respects, a work of art in other (more disappointing than good, actually.) "Birds of Fire "is my first experience with Jazz-Rock/Fusion and say I'm impressed and disappointment at the same time.Impressed because the way these guys play is awesome, they have plenty of energy, especially McLaughlin, who is a big guitarrist.And disappointment because the songs sometimes seem jarring and go from nowhere to nowhere, the sound is somewhat inflexible and heterogeneous.

2.5 stars.I love jazz, but I can not stand it here as a whole
