BEST SONG: Veterans Day Poppy
WORST SONG: Orange Claw Hammer
You are a young man who knows nothing !
I genuinely love this comment!
I don't agree with Stephen though, you obviously know something. You're entitled to your opinion. If you have listened to The Residents, you obviously have some exposure to music that doesn't follow the rules, so, you're opinion is your opinion. Whether I agree with it or not. I will say one thing though. The more you listen to music that doesn't follow the rules, the more open your mind will become to different ways to look at things. And that's always a good thing. Even if it might hurt your brain at first...lol.
@@wowwhywow I am with this comment completely.
Stephen : I love that you have your opinions, but don’t be so adamant in them, that your mind can never be changed. The longer you live the more you are able to recognize things that you might not have before. I love this album, but I also love your reaction. I swear to God, I’m going to scroll down and find some shitty thing I said to you because I was annoyed by your reaction. If I didn’t comment, I thought it. 😂
Keep doing what you’re doing.
@@internomadmusic you have that noisy painting on your wall which follows mixed rythms Yet you don't like this music? Have they dropped yet?
@@internomadmusic 😂
I first listened to TMR when I was 15, in 1979 and it scared me so much that I turned it off after a couple of tracks. I returned to it and ended up playing the whole album everyday, on headphones, for several years until I knew every note, it seemed. Back then life was very boring for a teenager where I lived and listening to TMR was like going through the back of the wardrobe into a parallel, warped universe. There was no internet, mobile phones, virtual reality gaming etc. back then... maybe nowadays it's just another cultural artifact that no one has enough attention span to invest time on but back then for me it was a portal away from living in nowheresville and a terminally boring family/school. Still love it, but more for the nostalgia of the intensity I felt for it when I was a teenager. Good luck with the music reviewing, music is life.
I was already into FZ in the late 60s. Beefheart was a logical step for me.
I can dig it. I happened to come across "Decals" before TMR, and it scared the hell outta me. That prepared me a little for TMR, maybe, but it also scared me. My goofy nerd friends kept playing it and it grew on me. Ended up being a huge fan, still am.
John Peel played a track each week on his radio show in 1969. The first track I heard was Any Man Bee. I bought the album on the strength of that one track.
Beefheart is like looking at a Picasso painting. It challenges all the norms.
Stop talking crap and go listen to the Osmonds. Oh and get your haircut.
You seem to be leaving out the fact that it was recorded eons before you landed on earth. You simply cannot love blink 182 and love the Captain simultaneously. This reaction is Dumb All Over ♥️
Give it a few more listens and it'll become your favorite album.
Captain beefhart was such an incredible talent, music and art at an extraordinarily high level. Me and m friends loved it at 13 years old, but we were also way into Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and their friends. So much better than today’s soda pop.
I saw him on stage with Zappa in the 1970's. Bongo Fury era.
Who is ''Captain beefhart''?
@@incumbentvinyl9291 He was an unusual musician who played in Franks band once in awhile, who had his own thing going on. Some of the weirdest stuff you can imagine.
@@kerbygator No, you're most certainly talking about Captain Beefheart.
youll get it one day young one, never quit
Hopefully next week "Metal machine music".
I'm almost considered an old dude at this point and I've heard hundreds of records in my life. I consider TMR a top 10 or maybe even top 5 all-time. I've always liked the antique mixed with the unique. Big Joan is my favorite cut here. Cool video, little bro. 👏
As a 15 year old, I am a massive fan of Beefheart.
TMR is one of the greatest albums of all time- a work of pure sheer genius
I thought it was pretty good.
This is just a nice comment.
Agreed, I like it a lot
Super!
Try not to murder everyone in your high-school
Ok?
Who is Captain Beefheart?
To the blind, he is the light.
To the hungry, he is bread.
To the sick, he is the cure.
To the lonely, he is company.
To the sad, he is joy.
To the prisoner, he is freedom.
For the poor, he is treasure.
For me, he is everything.
Captain Beefheart is our lord and savior.
PREACH
I encourage you to keep listening! As you get older and keep listening to music and exploring blues, jazz, avant garde, I think you'll come around to Trout Mask Replica. Having an ear especially attuned to jazz will help you catch what makes this album, believe me or not, CATCHY AF. This album is so unbelievably deceptive with how groovy it is, and with the bizarre, abrasive edge it has to it, the surreal, Salvador Dali imagery in the lyrics, I think you could come around to this album. It is a beautifully creative and clever piece of music!!!
Kid. My smile is stuck. I will not go back to your teenage frownland!
Listen to Samuel Andreyev discuss how this works. I could never listen to this in one sitting, but it’s one of the greatest albums I ever heard. Andreyev breaks down how the opening track is designed, and it’s an awesome breakdown.
I made it half way through this "review" before I couldn't take any more. I love Captain Beefheart. And, I fully understand this music isn't most folks cup of tea. But, this kid seems to be under the impression that if it's not similar to other music he's used to and loves, it's not music?
I was introduced to the Captain as an opening act to Ted Nugent. Most all there - like myself - were initially shocked. Going to hear Uncle Ted, and this band of very odd characters making strange sounds - mixing blues, tongue in cheek beatnik poetry, and avant guard jazz had everyone wondering WTF!?!?! (It was a tour for the Lick My Decals Off Baby album - the album after TMR was released. You really should give that one a listen!)
Within a song or three, they had totally won over the crowd. At the end of the set, the crowd of rockers gave them a 10 minute standing ovation demanding more!
Been a huge fan ever since.
What this kid rejects is it ain't like anything he likes. Duh!?!?! That's the point. Can you dance, or even tap your feet to most of it? No. Is it unique & frankly incredible? While definately a matter of personal taste & preference, for me, and many others, it's wonderful - in large part because of it.
To quote Frank Zappa at the end of Pena (or was it The Blimp?) after the Captain asks him, "So, what do you think?". Frank says, "It's incredible. I think we'll use that as is for the album."
Long story short. Just because you don't understand or care for it might make it a waste of YOUR time. That's not the same as the music itself being a waste of time.
Sorry you don't have the maturity or hairstyle to comment on this epic album.
You don't need maturity to listen to music about skeletons and incest fish.
This is the best comment, lol.
And Im a HUGE CB&TMB fan
The amount of hustle you put in listening something you despised so much gives you honor.
I find this the grooviest album ever.
P.S.: it's been a year, so I don't know what you think now, but I feel like giving some context to this wonderful plane crash of an album.
What the Magic Band is doing, is playing hundreds of distorted historical riffs of country, blues and rock 'n' roll tradition, each riff distributed on a different instrument that plays on its own tempo; the exceptions are the drummer John French, who alignes all the different tempos together just going wild on the drums, and Beefheart himself, who simply breaks every remaining semblance of equilibrium by shouting, grunting, howling and crying, both with his voice and on horns and woods.
If you get to separate every instrument, and then hear the whole as a concurrent ensemble of simultaneous things happening, you get a surreal landscape of american popular music up until that point. French has the technical function of keeping everyone on tempo (which is such a batshit crazy task that he ends up innovating a new kind of playing), while Beefheart is the common man take on that landscape, a man who doesn't even try to make melodically or harmonically sense anymore, because hearing all the music all at once doesn't make sense either.
This album is similar to the concept of the Aleph, by argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges: what would happen if an object could make us see everything that's happening in the world at the same time? How could we make any judgement about anything by that point? How can we make up concepts as good and evil, or honest and dishonest, or justice and injustice, when we get to experience everyone's perspective, and even inanimate perspectives? What our perspective even matter when we try to figure out the whole? How does it feel to be like God?
Beefheart and his (magical) band give a soundtrack to these questions, actually playing every riff possible from the tradition, creating a glorious uncanny valley feeling when you recognize riffs you love, and that are actually groovie and fun on their own, distorted and juxtaposed to everything else. It is like listening to 70 years of vinyls putting them on all at the same time; alsot the lyrics feel like that, wildly changing from blues realism, to country boldness, to rock 'n' roll hedonistic decadence. To me, it sounds like somenone suffering from alzheimer would remember all the music he heard in his life. It is amazing you recognized a beutiful guitar riff right in the last track, because it's the track that brings you back to reality! It transitions back into everyday music.
Alos, this album basically spawned the New Wave genre as a whole (Zappa already had new wave intuitions in his music, but Beefheart gave it a shape).
Did you do the titles?
I was always attracted by the humour and mischiefs of Beefheart, Don was fun and lovely (at least to me) the rehearsals with the magic band are another story, drumbo basically sat at the piano and developed don's ideas, but wasn't credited
I don't believe anyone genuinely likes this album. You can admire it's weirdness if you want but there's nothing on it in a musical sense that's worth your time. Saying you like it is statement of non comformity, that's all. Yes, all the top 40 chart fans will hate it, all the Moms and Dads will hate it, all the nerdy squares will hate it, but saying you like it doesn't make you some kind of cool artistic rebel, it just makes you pretentious. I first heard this in 1969, I thought it was crap then, and I still think it's crap. Captain Beefheart himself said he was deliberately trying to make an album that would give you a headache.
People laugh at The Shaggs and the Legendary Stardust Cowboy because they were unintentionally making terrible music. Just because Captain Beefheart was intentionally making terrible music doesn't mean it's a good album.
You should come back and react to your reaction to this in 10 years. You will understand what you are hearing better. But, you also should understand... these guys were trying to throw every musical rule out the window. And they did it to make most people hate the album. THEY WANTED you to react like this.
Please... come back to it in ten years.
Fantastic comment.
Out of all albums ever made, this is certainly one of them.
Out of all "original" comments ever made, this is certainly one of them.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with hating this album and nothing wrong with liking it. It's all about the chemicals produced in our brains; the chemicals that make us believe something is likeable or not. In my case, I can only explain it as hearing each separate part at the same time; like, tasting several flavors of ice cream all at once, but not as a blend. Tasting each flavor separately, at the same time - sensory multitasking, if you will. For me, Trout Mask Replica is incredibly interesting and riveting. Meanwhile, I like a variety contemporary music: Wet Leg, Le Femme, Meshuggah, Graveyard, Slift, Uncle Acid, Sunn O))) and Japanese Breakfast. 50's doo wop, Blues, Big Band, Hard Bop Jazz, New Wave, Punk, Classic Rock, Death Metal Classical and Hip Hop are all on my playlist. Rap and EDM, not so much... although, I like Grand Master Flash, Public Enemy, Snoop Dog and Moby. I feel lucky to be one of the people who is able to enjoy Trout Mask - it will always be my favorite.
You completely missed When Big Joan Sets Up! Be careful, you could become the devils RED WIFE!!!
That really caught me by surprise too! I mean, he liked "Moonlight on Vermont"! WBJSU is groovier and funnier.
@@jimbailey1122 I was really stunned when he said he enjoyed Pena.
Subscribed! 5 stars for one of the most hilarious reaction videos to one of the most controversial and polarizing albums ever. Since there were some songs you liked (why you didn't play "When Big Joan Sets Up" all the way through troubles me, because it has the funniest lyrics and a fantastic groove) I suggest putting it aside for 20-30 years then, if you're still alive, come back to it. When I first heard it in the early 70s as a teenager I HATED it worse than you, but a few decades later, right after it was added to the Library of Congress, I revisited it with an "older" mind. Took me six listens (and understanding how it was rehearsed and recorded) now I think it's a true American musical classic. Oh and yes: most of it was scored out on paper by the drummer. I run on laser beans!🙃
Ever hear Demovangelis : Cosmic Garden Renewal ?
Take another listen to Orange Claw Hammer here a couple of times and see if you can follow the story. It's more accessible in this acoustic version. A story about a man who went to see for 30 years. ua-cam.com/video/oCDXhvXye9E/v-deo.html
My favorite artist. Tropical Hotdog Night is my ringtone for more than a decade.
It is the Prequel to Lick my Decals Of which is one of the Best Records ever.
It took me quite a while to appreciate this recording which I have had since 1970 or so.
..i knew captain beefhart because of Frank Zappa,( i love him so much)..i bougth TMR many many years ago and i found It diggin' in a big basket full of second hand albums..was love at first sight!..a very controversial love, but strong..it's One of my favourites..
Of course you don’t like it. You can’t feed strawberries to pigs.
I've been called a pig a surprising amount of times in this comment section alone.
This is one stinking, rotten strawberry
I love Captain Beefheart but somehow I've never been able to get into "Trout Mask Replica." And I think I'm in good company because Captain Beefheart didn't like the album, either. He called this and his next album, "Lick My Decals Off, Baby," not real Beefheart albums because. Frank Zappa produced him and basically turned them into Zappa albums with Beefheart merely the lead singer. Beefheart's chief complaint about his Zappa-produced albums was that the songs were too short - something Zappa was famous for but Beefheart felt intimidated by. The best Beefheart albums ("Safe as Milk," "Mirror Man," "The Spotlight Kid," "Clear Spot," "Doc at the Radar Station" and "Ice Cream for Crow") are the ones in which he allowed himself (or had producers who allowed him) to stretch out.
Fantastic album! Favourite tracks are When Big Joan Sets Up, Pena and Dalis Car. At least you picked up the humour of it. 🤣
both Tom Waits and Radiohead recommended this one. It's so good, especially China Pig. There are clearly a lot of of laughs to be had yet!
I was 12 or 13 when this record was released and felt pretty much like you do . I have a feeling one day you are going to revisit TMR and you'll get it . The trick is to hear it 3 or 4 times in a reasonable span of time and it suddenly clicks . Dont work at it - let it work on you . A lot of the dissonance becomes synced . I had a big laugh over " crappy folk rock " . Probably because you just might be a least 50% correct and I have never run across anyone brave and sure of themself enough to say it out loud :) . Id love hearing your thoughts on The Mothers Of Invention - Were Only In It For The Money , or Uncle Meat . Also Todd Rundgren A Wizard A True Star . You have a good set of ears and know your own mind enough that I may not agree with everything you say , but I enjoy hearing your thoughts .
You think it’s dumb because you’re young. I didn’t get it when I was younger either. Maybe when you grow up and start understanding deeper artistic concepts you’ll get it.
It’s actually exciting to listen to, they basically invented post punk and math rock and emo on this album.
Is there anybody who doesn't find this album dumb? I'm not saying that being dumb is bad, I'm just trying to say that this album is incredibly overlong and bloated. A lot of the songs just seem like filler, especially the three blank noise tracks. I can kind of see why a lot of people like this album, as it's impressive that the band members memorized all of the songs, and a lot of the lyrics are just straight up iconic, but this albums bads and borings outweigh its goods. If you want albums that outdo what this album did, listen to Girl With Basket of Fruit by Xiu Xiu or Bish Bosch by Scott Walker.
@@internomadmusic I get what you’re saying, this album is not one I listen to regularly but I love coming back to it becuase it’s the opposite of boring to me. It’s exciting and wacky as hell and sounds a bit cooler every time. Some parts is some songs are flat out sick and before their time.
@@internomadmusic
If you notice the artists and art this album ended up influencing, I think you might see how there are people who find it the antithesis of formulaic or boring. It's like it redefined what art or music could be, and pushed artists it resonated with to explore their own inner weirdness. Original and influential art at times has this quality of being very layered and open to interpretation, and it's awesome that the funny layer of TMR is resonating with you right now. Maybe more layers will appeal to you later.
As someone who held off listening to it till 34, it just absolutely gripped me, with how fresh it still sounds, and how I could hear its influence ripping through music I've been hearing all this while.
As for you feeling the album being mostly fillers or overall being boring, it's like watching a Lynch film and coming across sections that are just someone sweeping the floor or driving through darkness for 15 minutes straight. Restlessness eventually giving way to introspection. And adding this emotional weight to the overall experience.
Agreed. When I was 14 I didn't like Fellini or Tarkoswki, you must have a specific sensibility to understand all the nuances of an artistic effort like this. After years listening to free jazz, avantgarde music and a ton of generic bubblegum boring songs i knew for sure that TMR had a special place in music's history.
just think how much you'll hate your future self 10 years from now when they proclaim this is the best album theyve ever heard .
It grows on you. 😝
I piss myself laughing. Turn it up loud and when the neighbours pound on the walls it's like they're joining in with their own rythym. ✊🤣
Can't wait for the inevitable review of Electromagnetism by Ghoul Dream ahuauadadyayayahayaemeahyahadcyahyahghayahejahyaoigiae
its gonna get a high three
@@internomadmusic outta 30
this isn't an album to listen unless you really want to. i feel like you weren't even trying to understand what the thing is trying to do for most of it, and (surprise) got nothing out of it.
next time i suggest going in with more of an open mind, cheers!
This is a great comment. I think I was harsh in a couple of comment towards this kid. I removed them because of this comment. Thanks for helping me turn back into a human. Lol.😂
Pearls before swine.
One nation underground??
Keep listening to it. It grows on you
Somebody hasn't heard this album enough, hasn't lived enough, hasn't heard enough good music, and didn't do nearly the hours of homework needed to properly review this album. But that doesn't mean you can't review it from a layman's standpoint.
"Vhat's that piqqtschr aw tha cliff borgirs fram? Vhat's tha teitl and vhou'sz itt bj?"
Mmm I don't think you get it...
I don't think I get it either.
@@internomadmusic I'm having a tough time deciding myself
Give it a few years and a few listens after exploring more music haha it just might grow on you. You have a great personality and I love the music reviews, I'm a huge music nerd so this just warmed my heart. Keep exploring and keep creating content, my man! P.S. I highly recommend checking out Frank Zappa and some more Residents stuff or on the more tame side The Beatles and Pink Floyd!
My favorite album of all time, you'll never hit bottom. Nothing random here, it all fits together like a Bach fuge or Swiss watch.
Not every song is great but you can hear the freedom in every instrument, as artist its much harder to play like this than to play straight tones or melodies because you have much more options how to compose music
I would suggest you just don't listen to it.
So. The prog rock album mentioned as number one in this venue was Close To The Edge by Yes. Listen to the beginning track. I hear it.
"2:48..hold on, lett mie gett mj teef...pennj inn mj hat and a cold armadillo....smokinh on tha niiht train tschiuuinh on a jellj rool...newr rob a baank viffaut a plan newr juusz jour tanh tou stop a fan..."
This video reveals more about the reviewer than the album being reviewed.
One reason TMR is the greatest album of all time is how much it annoys squares like this guy. I liked it first listen as did several of my friends.
I can't understand why you don't have 100k subscribers :) Cheers from a Captain Beefheart - Frank Zappa fan from Italy! :)
8:14 Dang, I wish “Bill’s Corpse” was one second longer. Kidding, kidding, kidding… I actually appreciate the Snark, sadly, I wish it was informed Snark. Because he kinda don’t know a lot of things about music.. If you are actually into music, one day, you might get it. It took me 30 years. I really love your reaction.
This is how the course goes for Trout Mask Replica.
I thought the EXACT same way about it the first time I listened to it back in high school.
Live a little and come back to it.
Dachau Blues is a tremendous track.
At least you kinda like Moonlight On Vermont
Condolences
Sorry for your loss
U have to be a bit crazy to love it .
Oh dear. The arrogance of the ignorant.
It has been suggested that if you listen to this album lowered volume while going to sleep when you wake up normal music will seem too simple and horribly boring. This band is better live than recorded. They are a great improv band. But I respect your opinion. Next?
You just earned yourself a new sub! Off topic, but would you be willing to review, "Odelay" by Beck (1996) someday?
I've listened to Hotwax before, and I loved it! Odelay's definitely going on the list.
There are a lot of dicks in this thread of comments. I love this album to death, but everybody knows it’s not accessible to the vast majority of humans. Still, some folks don’t understand why someone might hate it. Fuck them/us. Keep doing what you do.
But also: I would encourage you to revisit this album every year (though every month would be better.) if you like unconventional music with a really incredible story behind an album, you’ll end up liking this. Like it or not, I appreciate your reaction. Keep that shit up. Cheers!
This is the strangest Album ever recorded. And I don't just mean the music it plays with your mind. When you first listen to it you can not decide if its brilliant or bullshit so you put it on the shelf and forget about it. But it won,let you a niggling voice in the back of your mind keeps saying. PLAY IT AGAIN. PLAY IT AGAIN. And it won,t stop until you have decided one way or the other
Final question for now: Are you familiar with the art rock and New Wave band Sparks at all?
I do listen to a bit of art rock, but I've never even heard of Sparks.
@@internomadmusic give it a shot!
I like the abstract art on the wall. It looks like Jackson Pollock.
That's who I was inspired by! I even threw some shredded paper and oil pastels into it to emulate the texture of one of his paintings.
@@internomadmusic The painting looks like the music.
Given the choice of listening to TMR or one track from Nickelback, I know what I'd rather listen to...
This is definitely better than every song by MGK. At least its not pedophilic.
Very entertaining review. Name a better collage of noise though. When it's a collage of noise you want this is your go to. Remember that😊
Aren't we all just a bunch of useless humans
You are for sure.
He sounds like he listens in needle drops...listens to 2 seconds of a song, "man, that song sucks!"
Same
I heard this first as a young person and it got me up jumping around the room in joy, compared to all the bland predictable other love song crap that was everywhere. If you have enough curiosity and listen a few times, like many others, you will be running around the house singing beefheart and your parents will wonder what the hell is up with you. By the way, I can tell you secretly love it, so keep trying, and thanks for trying. Easy to understand your confusion with all the overproduced milquetoast crap that you have been subjected to as a person in this day and age. Good luck!
Finally this album gets a review worthy of its excellence. You made me laugh, thanks!
You're doing it wrong. You have to play it backwards and do LSD.
Do you realize that this album is on Reprise which is Frank Sinatra’s brainchild?
An evening with Wild Man Fisher is much worse.. Captn Beefheart is art
In 5 years, you'll love it!
I used to think it was profound. It's just absurdism. It is actually stupid.
The Blimp! The Blimp!!!! The drazen hoops!!!!!
One of the best albums/musicians in history.! Obviously you were born feet first.
Nice impression at 2:12
This girl don't know what she's talking about
Apparently, a young John Lydon used to piss off his neighbours with this album lol
Better watch it kid, most people who originally hated TMR end up loving it!
You can hate it, you can't say it's not made up well
It's one interesting experiment, if you enjoy things that are way out of the usual. If you expect something to like it based on what you currently like, you might have the wrong approach. For me, I liked it because is weird and incredibly well arranged, even though it sounds like a big mess.
Dude, you killed it! You are hilarious man. But have you heard The Shaggs' Philosophy of the World? Gives this album some serious competition for worst! Of course, there are people who love it.
Oh, The Shaggs' are LEGENDARY. Absolutely horrendous, but still, legendary.

When we were your age, buying a record was an investment. So after spending what was a lot of money for a teenager, you took the trouble to actually listen to it more than once, unlike today, where music is basically free to listen to and discard if you don't like if after 20 seconds. If you listen to this album all the way through a couple of times it may start to grow on you. But being a youtube and spotify kid, you probably lack the attention span. Can't blame you for that, of course.
It's not free. The wifi has a price.
@@MrHighsupremoantifeminista Negligeable compared to what records used to cost.
@@MartijnHover oh, okay. I would have born in the past to know CD and vinyl culture.
ha ha.... there's worse... and coincidentally( or maybe not) they're albums that are also produced by Zappa. I have a feeling you might hate An Evening with Wild Man Fischer more than this and you might love/hate the GTO'S album Brain Damage more than this as well... but there is no worse album than the Shags. Frank Zappa LOVED the Shags. Check 'em out if you dare.
I genuinely adore The Shaggs, and Philosophy Of The World is a low four outta five from me. My first time listening to My Pal Foot Foot made me laugh my spine out of my body.
Music for people who are sick of normal music.
..you said right: normal..e a stare zitto ho detto tutto..
It wasn’t thrown together, they rehearsed it every day for a solid year and recorded it live. Every note and drumbeat was intentional, they could play every song the same exact way every time which is stunning. So it wasn’t thrown together. I hated when I was young too, it was too sophisticated for me at the time. Go back to it later after you get some more life experience, maybe you’ll hear it then. When something is considered so great by so many and you dismiss it completely it puts you in a bad light. Sokay you’re young glad you liked Veterans Day poppy
If you’re ever interested you could read drummer John French’s book where he covers the making of this in depth. It’s really interesting and scary, as you can imagine Beefheart was a mad genius, insane to most but you make your own call on that.
When you want people to leave your party at around 2am, put this album on.
i hated this album when i first heard it... and somehow eventually it became one of my favorites.
You and me and countless others. I think it was intended that way!
I love this album but I did enjoy your review. Unfortunately you can never un-hear it. Haha.
You are simply not prepared for this album.
We all hated at first. You will love it eventualy if you persist. Love the way it upset people also.
You'll get it kid...if you liked Meet the Residents think of that as a pop album and Trout Mask Replica as classical music. Eventually your scope will widen.
Why are you using shitty headphones to listen to music?
