This is a bit exhausting if taken all the way through but in small bursts this is so fuckin' cool



Hair Pie Bake 2 is my jam

This is so awesome



the first two minutes or so Hair Pie bake 1 sounds like they're trying to invoke the spirit of Albert Ayler

This probably sounds really pretentious but I honestly believe you can't appreacite how unique this really is if you're not a huge (avant-garde) jazz/blues fan like I am



This album feels like a love letter to those genres

i'd say it's precisely the opposite, the more of the artist's influences you know the less unique he seems.

He definitely sounds less weird than I thought he did before, but I don't think he sounds less unique. I've certainly never heard any album that's truly like this, and that's mostly because it adopts many of the common tropes of blues/jazz and reappropriates them into rock with vaguely psychedelic tinges.



If you view all music under the same microscope I can see how you'd see it as less unique, but under the perspective of rock music and such, which is meant to follow its own set of rules, I can't really say I know of any peers to this album.



The music is so good in any case

Yeah the only album I can think of that sounds even remotely like this is another Beefheart album haha, Lick My Decals Off.

what i said was a general observation, you certainly don't have to defend this album before me, i think it's the best one of all time ;]

Just a question for those who rate this like a 3 or 3.5: why? This seems like an album you either love (5) or hate (1).

you may like the concept but not the way it was implemented



or there may be parts of the album that you really like and others you don't

Yeah there are only two options, how can someone like this without worshiping it like it's the all end of music??
