i did not like this, sorry! i’m just not much of a blues person i guess :/

Rock n roll produced 2 “Geniuses” Captain Beefheart and Brian Eno. All the other so called geniuses are talented special musician people are still trying to catch up to these two.

in the heart and far beyond expectations of the music industrie and listeners then and now that simple it is! one of the essential albums of the 70ies!

amazing free funk no wave blues track, long before those characterstics in music reviews overhwhelmed the minds of the reviewers

Impossibly lovely

fosh

I'm not even being contrarian when I say I love this song, idk why I do but something about it is really cool to me

this is funny - I get a zztop vibe.

Absolutely 🔥🔥

The Captain ripped off my song, Equatorial Frankfurters after Dusk

FISHY

Fell in love with a girl who sent me this song and said it reminded her of me, shit made my heart roll over and die

I love The Tubes version, didn't know Captain Beefhart wrote it.

One of the first albums I bought after seeing his performance in Roden, the Netherlands, in 1980. Beefheart made it until today. Love it.

I might just have bad music taste but this doesn't even sound bad idk what everyone is on about

"I won't droop if you won't talk about your hands being too small".

This sounds like a monster trying to get up in the morning

Rudundant comment, but im actually surprised this has a low ass view count. This has always been probably my favorite album by the fellas but its a tough one.

The arrangements are absolutely insane. This is just pure genuis.

I wouldve liked to hear his interpretation of Syd Barrett's, The Scarecrow

On the day of the first full moon there stood two shadows at noon but, then, only one at 2, and then when asked, the standing one said, "oh, what a moon can do," and lowered his poor head.

Npr tiny desk...weird genius on a freeway line

The drum and hi hat sticking patterns from 2:20 onwards are so cerebrally satisfying!

Wonderful stuff

Glider

wtf?

I’m tired of this boy band stuff

So the drums on the album version are so much tighter and more syncopated than the live recording. Adds a whole new level of funk

This section of histroy is rarely ever told factually. Crazy how the facts of something not even 100 years can be distorted by downright lies garnered off sympathy.

I heard that labor camp was the only time most of them ever worked a day in their life.

this is making nirvana look great

Heard this and mistook it for Zappa.

sounds much like Zappa!

I'll never forget Captain Beefheart insisted he can remember being born.

Incredible song.

Genius guitar and the in the moon is hg wells is genius cause..

"Everything is wrong, and at the same time it's right"

"I'm playing this music, that the young girls will come out to meet the monster tonight"

Trout mask replica, when you absolutely, positively gotta get every mutha f***er in the room to leave, except no substitutes...

What the hell is going on and why do I like it

One you've had "one of those days", a dose of The Captain restores one to equilibrium.

This is the greatest song ever recorded.

Captain Beefheart and Tom Waits should have recorded an album together.

Bat Chain Puller

The musicianship on this track is stratospheric. And this same album also contains "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles", which is simply beautiful.

Thanks for thinking about me

Sometimes I loop 2:22 - 2:44 for like an hour or two at a time

It is difficult to imagine transcribing this music. It is virtually impossible to imagine playing it. THIS is true TALENT!
