| 4.5 superb | StonesDoorsSabbath | October 24th 18 |
Similar in style to Trout Mask Replica, but falls just short of that album because of fewer songs and worse production. Also, Jeff Cotton quit the group after having his ribs broken by roadie Jeff Bruschell, so it's just Zoot Horn Rollo on guitar. "One Red Rose That I Mean" is Rollo's signature piece. "Flash Gordon's Ape" is unfortunately ruined by a cacophony of overly loud saxophones.

The sound here is close to that of Trout Mask Replica, but the product is streamlined. Gone are the a capella poetry recitations and field recordings; instead, we have a comparatively straightforward 40-minute surrealist rock extravaganza. Another notable difference is the presence of just one guitar; guitar ?harmonization? is absent, then, contributing to this effort?s relative coherence. However, Beefheart is still gruff, his lyrics still delightfully abstract; the drums still rollick in idiosyncratic rhythm, hi-hat slurps and toms abound. Overall, Trout is better, but this is a superb follow-up, and really, stripping back the sound was the only route for Beefheart to take after Trout's utter expansiveness.
