its a pretty normal avant-garde album, hardly bad, but not amazing by any stretch. its pretty cool though. i find it hard to comprehend that a lot of these songs were actually meticulously composed; they all sound improvised, for the most part

i understand the beefheart dude, i would make an album of me goofing off too. i get the vibe and the concept and the idea, but this is just not good as i envision it

Ella Guru is probably one of the best things ever honestly, but obviously I can see why someone would hate this.

eh i would hardly call this "goofing off", but to each his own. i think it does share sonic qualities with a totally random improvisation, and that is intriguing given that it isn't.

"goofing off" isn't the expression i want to use, it's like goofing off but quite serious and focused on aesthetics, but idk english is not my first language sorry i'm fucked

To anyone who actually thinks people only pretend to like this: I mean I liked it upon first listen back when I heard it at like age 15/16



I actually rented it from my public library because I knew of Beefheart from his work on Bongo Fury and "Willie the Pimp" so I (and I was shocked to see they had it) listened to it in full as soon as I got home and of course it was really shocking to the ears but it was also fun and crazy and honestly for the time being right up my alley.



So no I don't "pretend" to like it

yeah but you can never tell people these things ars. even if they believe you they'll say you only like it because the avant-garde fucked up your taste, not because it teached you something

Can't say I've every really 'liked' it. Thought it was shite first time I heard it.

Then I played it once when I was a bit drunk and some weird part of it connected in my brain and made me laugh. Loved it ever since when in a certain odd mood.
