- Just keep listening!
Yes it sounds akward, random, jumbled and directionless at first...but eventually it DOES click into place, and when it does it's a great moment.
This is a fabulous album - if you buy it STICK WITH IT!

This is Beefheart's masterpiece. With a name like this it makes your ears prick up and the cover is my favourite! Songs like "Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish", "Pena" and "Hobo Chang Ba" virtually throw you away from your living room. A must for any Beefheartian. I am just about to buy the "Grow Fins" box set which is great too.

- A magical and unforgettable album
On the first listen of this record, it's hard to understand what all the fuss is about. 99% of people who listen to this album for the first time would think it was utter trash. Guitars seemingly crackle and slide about without any kind of musical intentions whilst the rhythm section initially appear to be suffering from some kind of nervous spasms. To top it off Don van Vliet's super-insane howl is enough to give the strongest of minds nightmares. However, any such notions gradually dissolve after around 6 plays of this pioneering opus. Songs like Ella Guru and Hobo Chang Ba offer pumping jazz-blues with an irresistable twisted child-like playfulness, which bring smiles of cheshire cat dimensions. Every song is so intense it feels like it will burst, whilst the music is actually so painstakingly complex, only the subtlest of ears could really truthfully appreciate the majesty and raw beauty of the music. Beefheart's voice also grows on you so fast that by the end of 'She's too much for my mirror'(a proto-punk delight), you wish you could make just half of the such unique, idiosyncratic sounds that are generated. But its not just the sound of the record that really astonishes. The wordplay is marvellous with phrases such as 'a squid eating dough in a polyethelene back is fast and bulbous -got me?' ringing around your ears long after this double album as ended. Overall, this album shows beefheart and his magic band at their creative peak, providing a pioneering timeless LP which will be revered and cherished by generations to come.
