Trout Mask Replica

Jeez. I mean, that was just awful. I'm all for creativity and originality and whatnot, but this is almost worse than that contemporary classical music BS where they just make a bunch of weird noises and say it's cool because it's something that hasn't been tried before in music theory. There's a reason we don't try certain things. I'll be honest, I couldn't even finish this monstrosity. Just a bunch of stupid noises. Awful.

Hey kids - don't do drugs... Or if you do, make them the kind that help you make music. Not whatever the fresh hell this is.

Bardzo dziwne. Chyba nie dokończyłem nawet.

Couldn't listen as not existent on deezer

Likely the worst album I've ever heard. I listened for about 20 minutes, and nothing like actual music appeared in the noise. I sorta skimmed the rest of the album, as I'm not interested in wasting my time listening to discordant twanging. Occasionally something like rhythm or melody appeared, but then was just as quickly gone. It's really awful.

no me apareció el álbum en spotify

Um. wow. I appreciate that this exists. It's not to my liking. I'm almost 50 years old having heard this for the first time. I'll wait another 50 to come back to this again but for now. 1 star.

Not on Apple :(

Album not available on Spotify

Na come on man

Das muss diese "Kunst" sein von der immer alle reden. Bin Banause.

No. Too hard. Hurty brain.

#10. No

It's officially a crime we that can't 0 star or negative star albums. I'm gonna find whoever put this on the list and punch them in the throat. This was fuck-awful. I feel physically ill after sitting through this.

Naw

This is just noise. There is nothing redeeming about it.

Garbage. No amount or type of drug exists that would make this one palatable for me. I just don't care enough about a bunch of clowns fucking around in a studio in an attempt to push "musical" boundaries to suffer through this more than once.

I wish I had the memory of a fish and could instantly forget Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band and Trout Mask Replica. I was actually expecting more from this. Earlier in the year I listened to Safe as Milk and really enjoyed it, so I came into this with reasonably high expectations. Unfortunately, this album and I simply did not get along. The opening track, "Frownland", is possibly one of the most unpleasant things I have ever listened to. It feels chaotic, disjointed and completely impenetrable, and unfortunately things didn't improve much for me when "The Dust Blows Forward 'n the Dust Blows Back" followed it. Rather than pulling me into the album, the opening few tracks left me wondering what on earth was going on. I understand that Trout Mask Replica is regarded as a groundbreaking and highly unconventional record, and I can appreciate the ambition behind it. The complex rhythms, strange song structures and complete disregard for conventional melody are clearly deliberate choices rather than mistakes. The problem is that none of it worked for me as a listening experience. Maybe I simply prefer my rock and roll to be a little more straightforward and a little less experimental, because I found much of this album bizarre rather than brilliant. The lyrics didn't connect with me, while the polyrhythms, multi-octave vocals and polytonal arrangements felt more exhausting than exciting. I can understand why some people consider this a masterpiece and an important artistic statement, but after spending time with it I can safely say it isn't for me, and I can't imagine ever wanting to revisit it. Favourite tracks: "Moonlight on Vermont" was probably the closest thing to a highlight, with some genuinely nice guitar work. "Sweet Sweet Bulbs" also has moments where the musicianship shines through beneath all the chaos. Least favourite tracks: "Frownland" takes the prize here. It was a very difficult introduction to the album and set the tone for much of what followed. Album artwork: Love the cover — it's far more appealing than the music inside.

As usual: a solo artist who’s a multi-instrumentalist? You don’t even need to open the album. With this particular album, I still can’t tell which is more prominent—the music or the drugs.

Sounds like a band falling down the stairs. I might find this to be an interesting choice if there was something in the songs themselves worth seeing through the chaos to. But after hearing the satirical holocaust song (Dachau Blues) I had a hard time seeing how the rest of the album would be something worth working so hard for The mix also sounds like shit - with the alleged hyperintricate complexity of the instrumentals drowned out by someone howling with the eloquence of a unmedicated schizophrenic. I'm sure this was intentional but I don't think 'make it sound bad' is that clever of an artistic choice. According to a podcast I listened to - Cpt Beefheart wrote the songs on the piano despite not knowing how to play piano. So like how my toddler 'writes' songs. GTFO. It might be hypocritical to hate this while kinda liking duck stab and kollaps. But there's a pretentious element to this (podcast guys explained that different musicians are playing in different keys and different time signatures from each other) that just feels exhausting.

I would rather listen to an entire concert from a beginner middle school band and orchestra than listen to this again. You know what, throw in an elementary school choir where the director is only working 1/3time because of budget cuta and they do at least one song with kazoos and I would still choose to listen to that concert over this album

Total shit

Come on? WTF even is this. Probably one of those albums that people say "you don't get it" but this is not good. I feel like it is something my friends and I would do in middle school. Grab some instruments we don't know how to play and make noise and make up some lyrics in the moment. Maybe you have to be super high to enjoy this?

Always hated this band.

Spotify on my has one song listed for this album and I’m OK with that.

One star for the trout. It's long and quite painful. Favorite songs: Moonlight on Vermont

Just shy of 79 minutes of musical discord with few redeeming features. Any interest I had in the album had dissipated by the time of side three's "Well". Great album art though. One star. Side one 1 "Frownland" (2/5) 2 "The Dust Blows Forward 'n the Dust Blows Back" (2/5) 3 "Dachau Blues" (2/5) 4 "Ella Guru" (1/5) 5 "Hair Pie: Bake 1" (instrumental) (1/5) 6 "Moonlight on Vermont" (2/5) Side two 1 "Pachuco Cadaver" (2/5) 2 "Bill's Corpse" (1/5) 3 "Sweet Sweet Bulbs" (1/5) 4 "Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish" (1/5) 5 "China Pig" (2/5) 6 "My Human Gets Me Blues" (2/5) 7 "Dali's Car" (instrumental) (1/5) Side three 1 "Hair Pie: Bake 2" (instrumental) (1/5) 2 "Pena" (1/5) 3 "Well" (1/5) 4 "When Big Joan Sets Up" (1/5) 5 "Fallin' Ditch" (1/5) 6 "Sugar'n Spikes" (1/5) 7 "Ant Man Bee" (1/5) Side four 1 "Orange Claw Hammer" (1/5) 2 "Wild Life" (1/5) 3 "She's Too Much for My Mirror" (1/5) 4 "Hobo Chang Ba" (1/5) 5 "The Blimp (Mousetrapreplica)" (1/5) 6 "Steal Softly thru Snow" (1/5) 7 "Old Fart at Play" (1/5) 8 "Veteran's Day Poppy" (1/5) Total - 35 Average - 1.3 368/1001 195/368 albums reviewed were new to me.

Just because you can, doesn't necessarily mean that you should. Also, if an album requires SEVEN LISTENS for you to 'get it', that sounds more reminiscent of being tortured to the point of confessing to something you didn't do.

Overall Rating - 1.41/5 (2.82/10). Whiskey. Tango. Alpha. Foxtrot. Over. Crazy, experimental, and, at times an assault on the ears.

Ik gaf een ander album van ze een 4. Ik weet niet of dat album echt heel anders was dan deze of dat ik een wat rare dag had. Maar dit album komt niet in de buurt van de 4. Gek doen om het gek doen. Moderne kunst die ik niet snap. Polyritmiek die ik niet kan volgen. Willekeurige shit waar ze schijnbaar toch heel lang op geoefend hebben. De reden dat veel muziek lekker aanvoelt is omdat er slim wordt gespeeld met patronen. Als die patronen te ingewikkeld worden of zelfs ontbreken gaat voor mij een groot deel van het plezier verloren. Het is knap, maar ik kan er niks mee. Ik heb dan ook helemaal geen zin om dit van voor naar achter naar deze Zappa-achtige gekheid te gaan luisteren. Eén ster en ik ga vroegtijdig verder naar het volgende album.

To me, *Trout Mask Replica* by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band is a bit crazy. It’s not an album you can just listen to casually; perhaps you need to hear it several times to grasp the music. But that requires time—something I didn't have yesterday. Sorry, just one star.

I just don’t understand how you even come across this album. Like did this guy just have that deep of music knowledge to know about this shit? Or did he actively listen to this shit and enjoy it? Or is the criteria just throwing shit (this album) at a wall (us) and hoping it sticks? This genuinely has confused me and simultaneously pissed me tf off.

Robert Wyatt, you can rest now; you’ve been dethroned The only thing I can say that’s positive about this album is that it’s not boring and when it wants to, it can sorta kinda throw together some blues pieces (Moonlight on Vermont would be ok if someone else sang it) The rest is just…beyond garbage. Half of the tracks on here I wouldn’t even call music. I hate the almost insistence to play off rhythm and off key to make songs clash with themselves. I hate the vocals that intentionally sound bad to show you “music ain’t all that beautiful”. I hate the subject matter of half of these songs, it really does feel like it was specifically appealing to the fart sniffing “high art” intellectuals who think because it’s challenging it’s automatically good. I hated the snippets of blues, one of my favorite genres, which would immediately transform into disgusting abominations of something that could once be considered good. Also this being a double album made it all the more insulting, as if I didn’t get enough of this garbage. I could go on for hours about how much I didn’t like this album. I think it’s kinda crazy this came out in the 60s, and definitely does stand out as pretty unique, but from a “do I want to listen to this” perspective I think this might be the single worst album we’ve had. I listened to Rock Bottom again and although it sucked it’s so much less painful than some of the other awful records we’ve gotten (Pere Ubu, White Light/White Heat come to mind). This is worse because not only is it mind numbingly awful, but it took a significant portion of my day and wasted it. This is an affront to music as a medium

its like 2 different songs being played over each other at the same time. complete nonsense noise; i just happen to find it amusing at how unapologetically bad it sounds. a loving 1 star

I listened to this full album, just so I could post a sincere 1 rating. This type of music enrages me as it inevitably leads to those who declare it a masterpiece, avant-garde, a piece of art, etc. You need to really listen to it a few times to appreciate the musicianship, they say. No you don't, I say. This is crappy music. This is complicated for the sake of being complicated, it strips all the fun out of music leaving a barely functional purely technical pile of slop. "Oh wow polyrhythms and polytonality, these musicians are so great" no they aren't, shut up, it sounds like garbage and just because you heard someone call this experimental and you want to attach yourself to it because you think it makes you seem complex is ridiculous.

The app link only gave me the Trout Mask Replica Replica single which is horrible. Hence the rating otherwise I really 'rate' the Captain

This was painful all the way long

An album that demands your attention and then has no idea what to do with it. I hate it.

Well, this finally popped up. I’m not sure you could make an EP of what I enjoyed here. This was mostly a driving listen via YouTube since it’s not on streamers. Doubt I’ll ever want to revisit it.

I think some of the overly-pretentious enjoy calling it a masterpiece—or, again, maybe it’s for the meme—but, in all honestly, it’s completely unlistenable noise.

Como carajo puede un disco que suena a ninos jugando con instrumentos musicales puede ser uno de los mejores 1001 álbumes? Pero si es una reverenda mierda

I ain’t listening to all dat

vad i hela friden 0/10 låter som en musiklektion på lågstadiet

What the fuck is this?

The thing about Trout Mask Replica is that it's such an unpleasant, punishing experience for the most part, that if you just persevere with it through a sense of obligation, of duty there are fleeting moments where it sounds something... something like music, and it's such sweet, sweet relief you start to think maybe you misunderstood it, maybe the problem was you all along, and maybe you're developing into someone who can appreciate it, maybe one day...love it. After all, you only get one album a day, and there's no guarantee there will be another one tomorrow. Maybe this is the best you can get. Maybe those brief breaks from the chaos, the noise, the madness are worth the pain. Who did you think you are thinking you might get a Sgt Pepper or Rumours? You don't deserve them. They don't even know you exist. This is the album you deserve, so be grateful for it. So what if your friends and family don't like it? What do they know? They still haven't gotten over your split with your last album with its "melodies" and "choruses" and all the musicians agreeing on what "time signature" to use. They didn't even try to like it. They don't know it like I do. Oh shit...am I in an abusive relationship with this album?

Uh, no. Some days I roll with it, other days, what the actual f*ck? I scream for all the albums and artists in my vinyl, cassette tapes, 8tracks, cds, mp3 playlists that are not included in this list of 1001 albums. Like, why this and not ANY of those others 🤬

Fun.

So many analogies that I could make but really this album isn’t even worth the time I’d put into that. Some dudes did way too many drugs decades ago and now I have to listen to this shit. You can argue all day long that it’s groundbreaking or influential, but you can’t polish a turd.

I think I heard the guitarist accidentally start to play a melody, but don't worry, the drummer smashed a snare drum over his head before it could become enjoyable.

Not on Amazon Music

Holy FUCK this is BAD! Who made this list, Helen Keller? This is the sort of music that results when you let a music classroom full of 10-year-olds all press a different demo button on the keyboards at slightly different times and let them fuck around for an hour and twenty minutes.

This is what a hangover feel like. No matter what happens you can’t get comfortable and there is an incessant yet ever changing noise that you can’t escape.

All songs sounded alike, even the non-sensical interludes. I know this shit’s supposed to be experimental but there’s a science behind that, a coherent logical order, an artistic sensibility. Not this arrhythmic, anti-melodious bullshit.

Nope

The confidence to release this and call it music

Complete and utter shit

1/10 - a crappy 60s album that tries to be endearing with bad jazz skits

yeah great that

Are you kidding me? And almost an hour and a half of this. Just no. It's like a teenager trying to be "random". Zany lyrics, good music I could manage. Experimental music and good lyrics I could probably cope with. Zany lyrics and experimental music is a hard no. love and waffles, *~t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m~*

HOLY COW what am I listening to? I went all the way to YouTube to listen to what MIGHT be the worst album of all time. You need to read the Wikipedia for this album because the environments in which this album was created might be the only environment possible to come up with this...1/5

Nup

The one nice thing I'll say about this album is that it I detect some similarities between it and Beck's 1994 gem, Stereopathetic Soulmanure, an album I really enjoy. But where Stereopathetic Soulmanure has Satan Gave Me A Taco, Trout Mask Replica does not. One review I read said this album "sounds like a band falling down a staircase but they don't stop playing" and that seems right. Maybe in a different place or a different time I would have appreciated this one. But probably not.

Missed the opportunity to select did not listen, but based on the rest of my group not approving either…

I can’t see why anyone would need to listen to this before they die.

Nope, not for me

Not al all my style.

1/5 Unbearable

I don’t know why this isn’t available on many streaming services, but I assume it’s some kind of public health measure to protect people from the toxins this garbage produces. This isn’t music, it’s just noise. I read that this was meant to have a bluesy sound, which could be true if it was blues performed whilst drunk at a karaoke party. But don’t let that get the instrumentation off the hook, which is even worse- I’ve never heard professional musicians perform so badly. In all, there’s nothing here that is even a cohesive song (‘Moonlight on Vermont’ probably as close as we get). It absolutely baffles me that so many ‘experts’ rated this as some kind of great artistic statement. The claim of some that this takes *6-7* listens to appreciate is probably more a sunk-cost fallacy than evidence of any deeper greatness to be found.

To say this is a challenging listen would be an understatement. To it's credit, it is certainly an interesting album and you can hear in some of the guitar work how it influenced later post-punk bands (though most of them would take it in a much more melodic direction). However, by and large, this is a cacophonous mess with each band member seemingly playing a different song to everyone else. A lot of times when I've read people singing this album's praises they've talked about it taking four or five listens before they have a 'road to Damascus' moment and it all suddenly clicks into place. But frankly life is too short for me to want to test that theory out.

It’s experimental, it’s avant-garde, it’s… atrocious. Captain Beefheart here almost totally failed to create anything listenable or even recognisable as a proper song. I say almost, because just occasionally a track did have some sense of structure, melody, rhythm, etc. and was even vaguely enjoyable, e.g. ‘Moonlight in Vermont’. Nonetheless, it’s got to be 1 star; if this isn’t, then what is? Perhaps it would grow on me (like mould?) if I heard it several times, but I’m not masochistic enough to inflict it on myself again. Some say it’s a ‘masterpiece’. I say the emperor has no clothes.

I take issue with the idea that challenging music needs to be torturous, both to create and to consume. There's this fucked up notion that Captain Beefheart was a misunderstood genius because he made an impenetrable record that requires 7 listens to "get" and did it by physically and emotionally abusing his band. Fuck that. No art is worth that kind of torment. There is clear talent within this group, and Captain Beefheart himself—it's not easy to make music that sucks this hard. But there are all these assholes who romanticize the REAL suffering of the band, and have decided to suffer alongside them to enjoy art that they are uniquely troubled enough to understand. It's stupid and self-centered.

O fato de ser ruim de propósito é tão único e incrível que eu não vou nem questionar a razão de estar nessa lista (mas também não vou ouvir lol).

It pisses me off that shit like this makes the list when there’s so many good albums left out, especially more modern albums. Now I’m forced to listen to it because some old white fuck thinks he’s funny for including it,,, go. fuck. yourself.

nope

this was genuinely one of the worst things i've ever heard in my life. tapped out halfway through, first 1001 album i couldn't finish. would give a 0 if i could

blink-182-wtf-reaction.gif

No. Just weird.

This may be the single shittest album I have ever had the misfortune of hearing. I couldn't even get through it all, and I listen to experimental music that's basically just construction sounds sometimes. If it is all insane bangers past track #10, I don't think that could even pull this album out of 1 star hell. Terrible, heinous, awful.

Lyrics seem to be the only anchoring element, dense, but also Dadaist. Van Vliet's vocal delivery reminds me of Wolfman Jack. Not sure it would be worth listening to on headphones to try to get an idea of what he's talking about. Has samples of spoken word. I guess it makes perfect sense that it was produced by Zappa. Much of it seems like random noise interspersed with fleeting one-off riffs, a whirling maelstrom always dancing on the edge of something intriguing but never lasting long enough to grab onto. Like a 78-minute long attempt at a musical representation of a Jackson Pollock painting. Pachuco Cadaver and Moonlight On Vermont approach actual conventional song form for a while. This is one of those records that seems impossible to enjoy, but demands "appreciation". More provocative than evocative. You can argue that music is art, and any art is good but I prefer my music to be something that moves body and/or soul and this doesn't. The Wikipedia article makes a point of mentioning that the band members were submitted to a tortuous cult-like environment rehearsing for eight months, and that doesn't sound very fun either.

TMR wasn’t available on Spotify so listed to a Beefheart playlist. I get the art of the method but musically, it just sounded like 3 or 4 guys who never once rehearsed as a band. Or ever played an instrument before. At times, they’d catch a rhythm together and run with it but it’d inevitably divulge into individual, chaotic improvisation. I literally could not focus for the whole day at work after listening to this on my drive in, it fucked with me that much. Save yourself and avoid this.

meth vomit music

gave me headaches

Little to far out there for my tastes. 1.0

Kan antagligen skrivas hur mycket som helst om detta, vrida vända och analyera. Någon skrev att detta är den enda skiva som skulle kunna få 1/10 och 10/10 på samma gång. Får nog ses som ett konstprojekt och inte ett musikalbum. Som skiva betraktat så blir det såklart en 1:a...

I appreciate that Spotify only made available “Hair Pie - Bake 1”. Instead of 78 minutes of torment, I only had five. Five. Long. Minutes.

Piss poor guitar playing, songs that go out of tempo, songs that go out of tune, songs that were never IN tune, nonsensical lyrics, random dialogue in between songs, and some of the worst vocals I’ve ever heard. When they said it had polyrhythm and polytonality what they meant was “these guys can’t fucking play”

album raro malos audios no me gustó

Too much, too weird, too difficult. Another review says you need 7 listens to appreciate its genius and i barely made it through 1. I may be a fan if this in about 100 years.

One track made me feel like someone slipped a huge bout of mdma into my drink- the wave of anxiety was so palpable, suffice to say I didn’t not complete the listen. Not my jam, excellent fucking name however lol

Sometimes I give experimental stuff points for being different but this is just fresh bull****.

This is my first 1/5 (and hopefully my only). I didn't know what I was getting into prior, but after the first song I had an idea of what the listening experience would be. I think this project is too cerebral and quite removed from the ideas of conventional music - it's clear that this project was created to be difficult to listen to. This frustrated me throughout, as I caught bits of arrangements where the music sounded great... only for them to change the entire sound to something bizarre and awkward sounding. Good for them to have the desire to make something like this and show where you can go with instruments - this wasn't music to me, it was an essay using sounds.

Actual garbage

It’s not common for me to feel completely exhausted after listening to an album, but this was one of the toughest I’ve ever had to get through. I had to stop four or five times just to regain the energy to continue. It felt like a fever dream with almost torturous intent. I am more than convinced that this is some sort of a sick joke that has a niche community of people that are on it and praise it as high art. The joke goes that this is a brilliant album but to understand it you have to give it multiple listens. I suppose that's when you receive your invitation and can start pushing others to endure what you had endured. It could also be "Finnegans Wake" of music - likely meaningful to some, but completely impenetrable to me. I highly doubt I will ever ever listen a single note from Mr. Beffheart and his entourage. The lack of structure isn't even the problem. The musicians are clearly talented and it shows but all of them are intentionally playing a completely different thing with no solder to keep it coherent. I am sure that this was done to piss people off. I don't have any favorite songs because nothing here can be classified as a song. I will pick the last one because it meant that I had endured and because the title resonated with the feat of my achievement - "Veteran's Day Poppy".

32 - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica - Rating = 1 What the hell is this? A chaophony of noise and non-sense and unstructured making of sounds that do not go together… This is horrible. Why was this ever recorded? Who ever wanted to hear this? Wow… this is not music as much as an assault to the ear. Zero. Point. Zero.

Honestly is there a score less than one. One of the most awful sounding and over rated bands of all time.

An abomination, and easily one of the worst “classic” albums I’ve ever endured. Barely managed 3 tracks and gave up.

Was für eine grauenhafte Erfahrung. Meine Ohren weinten, mein leichtes Herz wurde schwer und meine Versuche, dieses Album manuell von YouTube zu löschen sorgte nur für blutende Finger. Kein Wunder, dass kein Streaming-Anbieter diese Perle der unmittelbaren Kunst des Folterns im Angebot hat. Bitte nie wieder und setzt dieses Album auf Platz 1002!

Fuck off, just fuck right off. Absolute dog shit. It’s not even on Apple Music it’s that bad. Had to listen to (some of) it on YouTube. Couldn’t finish it. The guy from the simpsons is just having a laugh at anyone who’s trying to listen to it 7 times

1 Star 2/15)

I gave it a try, but i really cannot say that i see the genius here. Slightly different rhythms accompanied by complete atonality just don’t do anything for me. I recognize it takes effort to be this bad.

If I were to come into music class and claim to have practiced every day all day and then play this, the teacher would beat me to death before the end of the first track.

Can I give this a 0? Please.

wtf was this

huh

I like Captain Beefheart, I like the art concept of this album. Not great for Saturday night listening though

I bet this really freaked out the squares, man.

Having this album as the first album really ruins all credibility for the entire 1001 albums. I'm sure I'll say it again at some point with this list but this is one of the most unlistenable things I've ever heard. Captain Beefheart went to high school with Frank Zappa, they are both weird, Zappa got all of the talent.

Step 1: See this is described as "challenging" Step 2: Start listing and realize that this is indeed very challenging Step 3: See that it's a double album Step 4: Survive listening to it in its entirety Step 5: Get the tiniest bit of solace by rating it 1 star

Not for me at all.

pleasantly not on spotify for me

Horrible

Worst music I have heard in my whole life. 0 stars.

It’s just noise???

perhaps these guys are geniuses at the top of their game but I didn't enjoy this at all

I’ve tried. It’s too weird for me.

The artwork kinda makes me sick. Also, only Hair Pie: Bake 1 is on Spotify and it's discordantly unfun. I will not be seeking out the rest of this album. I get it's a commentary on the mainstream, highly polished pop and rock music norms of the 1960s. I also get that it deconstructs the traditional conventions of blues, rock, and pop. I know that it has an anti-commercial statement. I don't care that John Peel and Lester Bangs think that this album is incredible. I don't and that's all that counts when it really comes down to it.

p157. 169. 1.5 stars Prime example of late 60s wankage. It's the musical equivalent of the curates egg, good in parts. When he sticks to southern blues, it's fine. When he doesn't, it's crap. Points deducted for being a double album, unavailable on Spotify, too much filler, and for weirdness above and beyond the call of duty.

.25 - I hate this so much and couldn't wait for it to be over.

# Album Name: Trout Mask Replica # Artist: Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Faaaaaaaarrrrrrrkkkkkkk MEEEEEEEEE Well i knew the album cover. Its quite iconic. Honestly, this was a train wreck of a record. Absolutely woeful. # Top Tunes: # Would I listen to it again? Fuck no

horrible wtf

Couldn’t listen too it

nein, das geht gar nicht!

Uhhhhhhh idk man

took me 5 mins to stop listening to it, which is probably longer than it took them to come up with the music for this album

Sadly the moments where the instruments stopped were just as bad.

Couldn't do it to myself. I tried listening to this awhile back... maybe one day I will build the courage to grit through this. I liken it to a blender, tolerable for a few seconds but you don't want to leave it on for longer than that

Worst thing I've ever heard

nope

I bought this years ago because someone told me it was “good”. I can’t remember who I need to “thank”. I understand that this album polarizes people. Personally, I think the issue is where I may mutter “keep to a time signature, you gits”, others will say “ahh polyrhythm” and while I may complain about whether this can actually be called music due to no good tunes, others may happily wax lyrical about polytonality. It worries me that the hype for this album is at such a high level that it reminds me of the old tale of the emperor’s new clothes. Is it good? or is that people think because it is challenging it must be arty? It has even been compared as eclectic as walking Christmas trees and, like this album, that is not something I need thanks.

Wow. Sært. Ikke hørt ordentligt. Kan man det? Jeg er nysgerrig på hvordan sådan et album kan eksistere. -- Fåk jeg skulle have anmeldt det den dag vi fik albummet... Den er svær at komme tilbage til! Jeg kan kun sige at den fortjener sin 1er for oplevelsen. Jeg piner nok lige mig selv igennem endnu et lyt....

Chaos-Schrepel-Blues, 1969 -> 1

Awful

Garbage sounds

Not technically on Spotify. People made a complication of the album - a playlist Could not find 1 song that was listenable I did have 1 liked song from another album by this band that I liked called 'm glad. I wish they had continued to make music like that song. This album was terrible

marto 1 simgera irtveboda da isic bushtis chyapunis xma qonda

This was garbage. Pure garbage.

1 - TERRIBLE

If you have to listen to something 7 times for it to be good. Its not good. I was waiting for this album to end and when I looked down and saw that I was only 30 minutes in, I had to call it.

I like a couple of Captain Beefheart songs but not this album

1/5 or can’t review. Sorry this is truly the first one I can’t listen to. I can’t even try more than I have. I am so sorry

Well, I hated this.

Festering bucket of wank.

I'm convinced this is what the US military forced torture victims to listen to at Guantanamo

First album I needed to pull up on Youtube since it's not on Spotify. I didn't like this album. This was a dud.

Looks like this album specifically isn’t on Spotify- But based on what Captain Beefheart there is on Spotify, I can only imagine this album is disgusting.

Does it sound "good" in the traditional sense? No. But I can I nevertheless appreciate its free-spirted, bold, adacious experimentation? Also no.

This has to be a joke

Impenetrable by reputation, impenetrable in practice.

What the hell did I just listen to?!? Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band's album Trout Mask Replica isn't some avant garde experiment. It isn't anti-art music to shed light on the pretensiousness of artists of the era. It is crap. Two albums, four sides, 80 minutes of crap. It is noise. It is nonsense. It is stupid. I hated every minute of this album, and couldn't wait for it to be over. Unfortunately for me, it is a super long double album, so it felt like it took forever. I could find no redeeming feature in this utter slog of a listen. I hated myself while I was listening to it. This album doesn't take long to show how completely terrible it is. Maybe it was by the third track, a ditty about Nazi Germany's death camps. Maybe it was the five minute "instrumental" cacophony of noise on track five. Somewhere after the one hour mark, I lost all hope that I could ever hear music again. I thought I should abandon all hope and puncture my own ear drums. I actually sat down and pondered who, in the era that this crime against humanity was published, would have actually taken the time to listen to this album the whole way through side 1, then willingly flip the album over to side two and resume play, then, in some act of sheer audacity, change the record to the second disc, and listen to that entire side of music before making the concious decision that they had to flip the album over to really see how this thing ends up? That wasn't hitting play on an iPod and zoning out. This was actual effort! For this album?! I thought I liked some weird ass stuff. I read the wikipedia article where some interesting people count this album as a masterpiece. I read the opinion that after 7 listens, you really can "get" this album. I can promise you that I will NEVER EVER subject myself to this nonsense another six times to reach any understanding with this. I hated every second of the eighty minutes of this album.

Jeg tror Safe As Milk og Unconditionally Guaranteed er mer mine kopper med te. Trout Mask Replica ga meg nesten ingenting. Likte ikke alle skitsene, og låtene i mellom switcha mellom å være kjip blues og litt offbeat jazza opplegg som høres ut som en parodi på pretensiøs eksperimentering. Jeg sjekket tiden flere ganger underveis, og det var ikke for å notere meg låtene slik at jeg kunne huske dem til senere.

i don’t think the spotify link was working bc it took me to a single song, which i listened to. it was so terrible that i wasn’t motivated to seek out the rest of the album

Inte riktigt för mig

536/1001 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑 Not for me

I guess you could call that an album. It was surprisingly more listenable than I had anticipated. I'm not into any form of avant-garde but this piece had its moments. Also, I really dig the cover art.

maybe there's a musical masterpiece towards the end of the album, but there's no way i'm sitting through an hour of this

Sounds terrible, I don't care what kind of theories people make up with about this albums. Its not some obscure masterpiece that only the brightest minds comprehend, its just awful. Even admiting that this is a highly advanced exercise on music making, at the end of the day it doesn't sound good and my score evaluates that.

Not for me

Should have been on the 1001 albums to avoid before you die. Absolute shite

Phew, that was exhausting. After a lot of effort, I managed to listen to parts of the album. This is exactly the kind of experimental music that I don't understand and that really gets on my nerves. I'm not a musicologist and I don't want to become one. Maybe it's brilliant stuff. I don't enjoy it. I definitely won't be listening to it again. 1/5

Call me pretentious all you want, but I love experimental music. Music that pushes the boundaries of its genre and tries new things while still remaining true to the artist's vision is an incredible experience to listen to. But then you have this. This is the bad side of experimental music. I mean yeah, I can see the argument that it's fun or whatever, but I think that it's far more annoying than it is fun. It's very much just a bunch of guys coming together, randomly playing notes on their instruments for an hour and calling it an album. I know this album isn't meant to be taken seriously, but to be honest I don't think that makes a difference at all. Whether or not I'm listening to this seriously, it still makes me want to rip my ears off regardless.

Någonstans under ytan anar man riktigt duktiga musiker och ibland träder det till och med fram i korta stunder. Men mycket är bara så otroligt uselt, trotsigt och låter så fruktansvärt illa att det inte kan bli tal om ett högre betyg än etta.

For some reason Spotify only played 1 song that was 4 minutes long, not the 1 hour 18 minute album I was expecting. This was a relief as those 4 minutes were utter garbage.

This album is so stupid. It sounds like my brother's friends messing around in high school, trying to be experimental, but just being pretentious.

Didn't understand. Like, at all. I truly do not understand. Whole album is 1h10, I stopped after 10 minutes maximum.

I already wasted 1h19min of my life, not wasting another second rating.

Fucking awful, if liking a modicum of melody or rhythm is a crime then send me to the chair. Despite it being critically acclaimed I can find no merit in this album brief moments where it seems like it might stumble into a cohesive tune are few and far between and never actually come to anything.

I do not get why this is revered. I am sorry but I like things like, melody or identifiable rhythm. 0

Polyrhythm and polytonal sounds are not for me. I'm content with being in a place of not understanding why some people think this album is the best thing they've heard.

Not on Spotify

oh my. Does it all sound like this? So I guess so. Whoever came first, Tom Waits or Captain Beefheart I dont know, but someone owes the other a lot of money. 4 disc?! This sounds lot like Yoko Ono anti-art stuff, but man is this a slog. I am about half way through it and really want to stop. I mean, I get it, "we're breaking all the rules and we're the first to do it", but I just dont understand it. Maybe its a freeform jazz thing, which I appreciate its existence, but why is this so highly regarded? Poems like Orange Claw Hammer were interesting, but it was surrounded by the cacophony of noise.

I wish I liked it since I tend to like abstract art but I really couldn't with this one. I felt so awful for a while after listening to this.

I’m a Spotify user and feel like I’m missing a lot of this album, but what I did hear was 0% for me. It was scratchy and chaotic and not something I get.

Pretentious drivel.

Look. Just because you can play polyrhythms doesn't mean I wanna listen to it

rubbish

I think it's ironic that I'm a big fan of abstract visual art, but find the gold standard for abstract musical art absolutely unlistenable. There were a couple of the..."songs"?? on here that I almost found a beat I could grasp onto, but I had to dig through so many layers of discordant nonsense to find them. I have a new least favorite album on this list.

the only good thing about this album are the youtube comments. worst thing i’ve heard so far

5/100.

I feel like I'm going to say this a lot in this journey. I appreciate the place of this album in music history, but it's just not for me.

Not a fan at all

Nope!

This is groovy. Vocals are crazy! not sure i like them but it's a vibe album cover also rocks what is this this is....... not good im scared ok dont hate thisAH that was loud and this is loud fast and bulbous! clicking like a barrel of red velvet balls yknow im not a big fan of this honestly, its not very pleasant to listen to is this even music, i mean i get its experimental but it's not good 😭 it's slowing down a bit... we are near the end and it's quieter OH ITS OVER the ending was nice but NOT worth all that

Me no like

The best part of this album was when it ended.

Fractured, violently angular bursts built from clattering polyrhythmic drums, splintered guitars and bass lines moving in hostile directions, shrieking horns, and vocals hurled as deranged chants, growls, and surreal declamations move this avant-garde rock album like being locked inside a collapsing clock factory where every gear spins to its own logic—overwhelming, abrasive, and perversely deeply aversive in its total rejection of order.

DNF

Flawless perfection

Asking anyone to listen to this album in its entirety should be considered abuse, and punishable in a court of law

Very unusual but not as bad as I thought it would be. I noticed this is one of the universally disliked albums on the site and was expecting the worst but I feel like there have been albums on here that are super experimental noise that I couldn't stand. This isn't that bad, I would never listen to it again but it didn't make me feel like I was going crazy. Also, I think that might be a carp on the cover not a trout. I'm sure that is the point and there is some meaning there but I don't get it.

I really think he recorded in his bathroom.

So people bought this and then took the effort to flip to side B, and then the further effort to pull the second record out of the sleeve and continue?

Wää grussig Ha na chli umegsuecht um das z finde aber denn uf dasi woni gstosse bin isch disgusting

hahaha igitt 10 sekunde glost und fast chli trurig chani mir die restliche 1h 17min 50s nöd gönne

It's practically unlistenable. I know some famous people love it, but I think that's more about establishing an avant-garde identity or being cool than it is about actual musical enjoyment. Another example would be The Shaggs. Zappa and Cobain said they were geniuses because they were untrained and played "pure" music. But that too is unlistenable. This just sounds like an unstable person that they allowed to do whatever he wanted, while the trained musicians tried to noodle around. He sings like Tom Waits without any sense of musicality. The poetry is excruciatingly bad. What the hell, people? Untrained and unrestrained does not a genius make. Zappa might well be a musical genius, as he's done some incredible things. But his musicians were well trained and knew they were making wild excursions into uncharted territories. And sometimes they just made noise, too. Both of those things are evident here. But the singing and poetry bring it all down down down. As a producer on this, he just let this madman ramble and enabled his foolishness. Now, certainly there is a chance I just "don't get it". But there's no way I'm coming back to this block of horror in the hopes of becoming enlightened. It's a 1 at best.

Sounded like angry geese.

Awful

This is a poor replica of a good album.

It’s not on Spotify and that’s fine. It’s ridiculous and pretty unpleasant

Not available on Tidal

Graded 11th from bottom, so what the fuck is this doing on here. Album cover is such a cringe.

This is a very generous review. I never thought I would dislike Zappa's work, but this is just too much

THE avant-garde art-rock album. Look, it's objectively terrible. Just because it's difficult to have several musicians play consistently at slightly different beats doesn't mean such things should be recorded. This is worse than prog rock. All of the pretentiousness, none of the songwriting talent. They're an okay jam band, but they are completely unrelatable. Nothing is conveyed, no emotion, no fun, no point. And of course, as though we wouldn't have believed that someone who recorded and sold this was jarringly arrogant, it's a double album. Influence 1. Quality 1. Intangibles 3 (it'sTHE albumfor this, but no one shouldsufferthroughthe double). Hits 1. Captain Beefheart can eat a big bag of trout dicks 1.

Proving that not all magic is good.

Nope! (Although now I know where the sound bite “It’s the blimp” came from that WBLM used.)

#23 The YouTube comments are right, as if this band is playing while falling down never-ending stairs. Fast and bulbous!

Interesting? Probably to some. Good? Nope, it's a cacophony for the sake of it.

Tried to get into it but it’s too dissonant for me. Lyrics are funny at times in an ignatius j. Reilly sort of way but it’s pretty atonal and unmusical.

Oh man, Trout Mask Replica. With its cult status on Reddit, I was thinking that it would be at least something interesting. It's not. It's like some kind of torture. Most of the songs are just them banging on instruments. Moving on. Candidate for worst song. Best song: Orange Claw Hammer

I listened to this full album, just so I could post a sincere 1 rating. This type of music enrages me as it inevitably leads to wankers declaring it a masterpiece, avant-garde, a piece of art, etc. You need to really listen to it a few times to appreciate the musicianship, they say. No you don't, I say. This is crappy music. This is complicated for the sake of being complicated, it strips all the fun out of music leaving a barely functional purely technical pile of slop. "Oh wow polyrhythms and polytonality, these musicians are so great" no they aren't, fuck off, it sounds like shit and just because you heard someone call this experimental and you want to attach yourself to it because you think it makes you seem complex is bullshit.

This is honestly one of the worst things I've heard in my life. What the actual f*ck.

This is how you break me. 1/5

Ah man, it's already so shit and I haven't even hit the 20 second mark yet. It's just utter, utter bullshit. There's such little artistic merit to this. It's just a bunch of people fucking about between themselves, and, I suspect, with us the audience. Many of these people are also in 'The Mothers of Invention', another band that supremely grates on me. These guys think they're well funny. Well how's *THIS* for funny Captain Beefheart and your Tragic Band? How's *THIS* for funny!? 1 star. And you can thank me for it. Oh wait you can't, because you're dead.

I love Zappa. I have every official release and have listened to his living discography many times over. Wanna get that out there... That having been said, I hate this album so much. I've read the articles. Influence, challenge, etc... I get it. I just don't want to listen to it.

That is quite possibly the worst album on here. I mean......why ???????

I didn’t hate it, but I was glad when it was over.

Koji je ovo kurac. Opet neko konceptualno izdrkavanje, nemrem. 1/5, 1/10

This is a tough hang

Not a vibe

What even was this?!

I’ve always found the name Captain Beefheart to be pretty repulsive so I wasn’t thrilled for this. Anyway, for some reason it’s not on Apple Music, and I had a super hard time getting it to play on YouTube. Maybe it’s my phone, maybe it’s the universe protecting me.

Wat

This list is called 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Silly me for thinking it meant that these were things you had to listen to because they were supposed to be good. This is one you must hear because it's SO colossally bad. Or maybe it's like fashion shows -- not meant for most audiences, kind of weird, and is meant to move the industry forward. Either way, woof.

I neither have enough masochistic energy nor time to listen to it 7 times and then maybe like it. Today I have a headache and want this to be over.

Well only one track from this is on Spotify. and it is weird af! 1 star.

Fast an bulbous.

Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band 1/5 - Just over an hour of random bullshit (which i know is on purpose) the funny and genuinely good parts of the albums are ruined by it's oversized length Frownland - 2/5 The Dust Blow Forward 'n the Dust Blows Back - 2/5 Dachau Blues - 2/5 Ella Guru - 3/5 Hair Pie: Bake 1 - 2/5 Moonlight on Vermont - 3/5 Pachuco Cavalier - 2/5 Bills Corpse - 2/5 Sweet Sweet Bulbs - 2/5 Nean Meate Dream of A Octafish - 2/5 China Pig - 2/5 My Human Gets Me Blues - 2/5 Dali's Car - 1/5 Hair Pie Bake 2 - 1/5 Pena - 2/5 Well - 3/5 When Big Joan Sets Up - 2/5 Fallin' Ditch - 2/5 Sugar n' Spikes - 3/5 Ant Man Bee - 2/5 Orange Claw Hammer - 1/5 Wild Life - 1/5 She's Too Much For My Mirror - 2/5 Hobo Chang Ba - 2/5 The Blimp - 2/5 Steely Softly Thru Snow - 2/5 Old fart at Play - 3/5 Veteran's Day Poppy - 2/5

All the discordant chaos of free jazz. While I respect how hard it must be to sound this…cacophonous, I’m also amazed that anyone would ever want to listen to it. Knowing how many great musicians were influenced by Captain Beefheart, I tried, but man it was rough.

I’d rather listen to my parents fuck for a month non-stop than listen to that again. Normally my reviews feature some form of unhinged attempt at prose in which I try to explain a scenario that captures the same vibe than the album in question elicits. But this album doesn’t deserve that degree of effort. This sounds like a homeless crack addict shoved a one-man-band up his arse and jumped on a trampoline, while rambling incoherent nonsense. It is terrible. Anyone who claims to like this ‘music’ is a pretentious fuckwit that is just trying to paint themselves as a deep thinker. If that album is one of the 1001 albums I’m meant to listen to before I die, I think maybe I’m done with life. I hate it, and I hate everyone involved in its creation.

OK here is the plan. I'm going to go to a music school, where kids are first learning to play. Im going to hide a microphone in each room and record these students as they attempt to play their instruments. Im then going to mix it together and occasionally speak over it. I'll call it high art, polyrythmic music. If people don't like it, its because they are not smart enough to "get it". This is maybe the worst music I've ever heard, and this is coming from someone who use to go to crustpunk gigs. Negative 5 stars, an absolute waste of time and resources.

Initial impression: this is an insane cacophony. Terrorism with musical instruments Impression after reading the Wikipedia article: "[Beefheart] once told drummer John French that he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia." Oh, this makes complete sense now. This is absolutely what I imagine schizophrenia would sound like. I have dealt with numerous severely mentally ill, manic, and people in crisis, and this word salad nonsense is exactly what they sound like. It's impossible to replicate for someone who isn't in one of these states, but an instantly recognizable hallmark of the condition. Now, apply the word salad concept to musical instruments and you get this garbled nonsense with actual word salad stacked on top. This is more an accidental distress signal than it is music. I made it halfway without skipping a song, but I gave up at Pena. This album was an assault. ⭐

Not on Spotify I enjoyed the YouTube ads more

Bruh... wtf is this?!

The infamous album has finally come... If something is to turn me insane, that would be it

You know when modern artist painters take a white canvass and throw three squiggles of paint on it - and try (and often do) sell it for millions. Yea, not buying it...the difference between schizophrenic and creative might be pretty thin....but i know which one this one lines up on.

Can’t convince me anyone genuinely enjoys this shite.

Trop énervant

“Dang, I left the recorder on while we were tuning up… again.” I’m all for experimentation. But you don’t get credit from me for not being able to discern that your experiment didn’t work. I don’t know why this is on the list. But I most definitely did not *need* to hear it before I died. 1 of 1.

"Fast and Bulbous!" Ha ha. This thing is nutty. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out what was going on. It's not music as far as I can tell. That's not to say it's not entertaining. It felt more like a poetry slam. I have no idea why they decided on making it a double record. 45 minutes would have more than sufficed. Obviously, a lot of work went into this. But, I'm not gonna be pretentious and pretend I think this is a masterpiece or that it's an "important album" just because it shows up on lists like this. It may be those things but my mind isn't currently calibrated for this. Today, it's getting one star from me but not because it didn't have entertaining moments. I'd have actually given it two stars had it been a single disk, not a double.

Am I being punked?

This one was bad, I understand why the album isn’t available to stream in the US. No favorite songs.

Bloody hell.

When your album is cited as one of David Lynch’s favorite, you’re already starting from a placed called WTF. And just because certain polytonal sounds are possible when combined, doesn’t mean they actually sound good.

I mean…. Fucking what? This was CHALLENGING.

What in the holy hell. Not on Spotify so I found it on YouTube. Didn’t get it at all.

Call me crazy, but I like music that sounds good. 1/5

Weird as hellt Not on Spotify or tidal

Absolutamente diez mierdas

I love Frank Zappa who produced this album but this guy is unlistenable.

God this was bad.

Can’t find it on any streaming service.

I do not like music that makes me feel stupid because I do not get it.

This is so weird I can't even think of how to grade/eval this. Well, let's give it a shot: 1/5 for the result (one listening is enough for a lifetime) 5/5 for the bravery in creating this; althgough I think it's not original, it still needs a lot of courage to go and publish such work. It's one of those things "it's so bad it's actually great" 3/5 for getting into this list - yes, I get it, why not to be open minded and experience this? One time? Yeah, I get it 0/5 for the cover art, horrible and I guess it works as a warning for what is inside (which, on the other hand, might worth a 5 fot it's honesty?!?!?) 0/5 for the talent that, aparently, these musicians wasted on this! Everyone tells they're genius, I would love to listen to something great from them, not this :-D Oh God, I'm so divided... nah, I'll give it 1/5! No one should suffer with this

1 track nur auf spotify - und das reicht dann auch.

Etwas speziell.

I couldn't find the actual album on spotify, instead someones playlist that tried to recreate the album. This album should remain lost forever. Attempting to recover it should be at least a misdemeanor.

I know there's some kind of cult following of these guys, but one has to wonder if it's because of the music itself or something else, because the music itself seems intentionally off-putting, making itself as unpalatable as possible to troll the squares. This album was made in a similarly turbulent, chaotic, and frightening time for our democracy to the present, but I didn't feel the music was emerging from or even naming the chaos so much as adding to it. Was it the 6-7 of its day? The joke is that it's a joke? All that said, there are a couple moments when folksy or bluesy melodies peek out, and I'd start to think I could get on board, but then it'd go away. I don't like Meatloaf, either. Is the listen to beware of bovine-themed music?

I don't really buy into many conspiracies. But people *revere* this album so much that you wouldn't have to work very hard to convince me it's part of an intergenerational prank, and at some point you're given the secret password like some kind of Stonecutters ritual where you're let in on the joke and then you too get to participate in the prank forever. Every review might as well be copypasta. And listen, I've tried so many times to find my way into this. My understanding was that this is heavily arranged, heavily rehearsed, and simply challenging to the ears on purpose, and for the life of me I can't understand: a) why? b) how someone gets on the right wavelength to appreciate it, let alone enjoy it c) again, why? Recommended ear cleansing: "The Deer's Cry" by Arvo Pärt; "The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid" by Stars of the Lid; "Getz/Gilberto" by Stan Getz and João Gilberto

No.

Painfully awful. 0 should be an option.

If someone tells you they dig this album then they are lying to you and shouldn't be trusted. If they tell you that you just don't get it and this is an influential album then they are pretentious fucks. Shite from start to finish.

???

There’s only one song on Spotify and it’s pretty weird

Oh shoot. Only one song from the album is available on Spotify...

Artsy hot garbage. Drugs are bad Mmm kay.

Talent???

Cover 7 Maybe this is what Leonard Cohen / Jeff Buckley were singing about in Hallelujah. That chord! It's in there somewhere! Imagine hating this and God's like "You don't get it, Bro. I'm unknowable." And then walking away convinced this was a classic worthy of a top 500 albums list, much less (more?) 1001. Maybe this is why there are atheist. Seriously, calling intentionally playing poorly "polyrhythmic, multi-octave, and polytonal" doesn't make it good. It's not genius either. I mean we can literally all do that. I can karaoke and if no one likes it, just say "it's polytonal, shit stick!" Or go to Alaska with the the intention of listening to walruses "sing." People say that shit about Jackson Pollack paintings, as if it's so easy they can also do it but do you have paint? Well, even the "unhoused" have shopping carts and cardboard boxes, so Pollack is literally that much harder than Beefheart, so shut your bitch ass up. Yeah this is anti-establishmentarianism at its most absurd. Don't want to play the same pop crap you hear on the radio? Then don't. Hate talent also? Check. What does talent and conformity have to do with art? That's the statement here. Want to be artistic because you're not? Then piss on a wall and have you and your friends stare at it for an hour. No talent with the guitar or triangle? Slam your face into the kitchen counter and your friend can "listen" for five minutes as you slowly regain consciousness and then tell them it's a song with a five minute interlude. It's art. It's subjective. They're are no boundaries. There are no rules. Keep an open mind! If it pleased the Lord, then what the fuck is wrong with you?

Captain Beefheart & His Self Indulgent Wank Band

Musical masturbation - the kind of thing people pretend to like to show how interesting their musical taste is.

This ranks up there as one of the worst auditory experiences of my life, right behind that time I went on a tour of some caverns in North Carolina and some moron brought their screaming baby along. Trapped in a cave with a screaming baby is how I would describe this sound, or nails on a chalkboard, or worse than 20 9/11s, or its how Hell would sound, but not the cool Hell, the shitty one.

Probably the best argument I’ve heard for why drugs are bad. Most of the album sounded like a middle school band class when everyone’s warming up before the teacher comes in. Good recommendation if you hated someone.

What the actual fuck is that? I feel like we’re getting punked on this one. I don’t think you can call this music. It’s a bunch of sounds that do t fit together, made by instruments that have never been tuned. AWFUL. 1 star because they won’t allow 0.

Would have given it 1.5 if possible, only after learning that Captain Beefheart wrote the entire thing note for note on a piano, and then made a bunch of actual musicians (which he is not) figure out how to play this nonsense on their given instruments. The fact that it's intentional makes it an ounce better but not enough to justify two stars.

*1969 *Yikes. Just poorly played brass instruments for the sake of making noise. *Definitely a lot of drugs involved in this concept. RATING - 0/10

The trout has balls. Also sounds like raw fish.

One of the worst on the list. 1.

How the fuck...and I mean HOW THE FUCK...is this on here? And the fish on the album cover isn't even a god damn trout.

Wow

1.5

Horrible.

What the hell is this? Are all the musicians reading off of different music sheets?

que?

Yeah this is pretty awful sounding. It’s like the band members all made the most bizarre tracks independently and then they mixed them altogether later! Appreciate the experimentation just not the result!

Well that was different...

Day 28 If this album is ‘genius’, I’ll happily be dumb. Hated it 1/10

Unlistenable shit.

Det bliver en kedelig rating til et interessant, eksperimenterende album herfra. Tvivler ikke på at de er gode musikere, og der var nogle fede øjeblikke, men jeg havde a bad time men jeg lyttede

This shit sucks so good

WTF absolute nonsense!!!

Sometimes I think the author of this book hates us. Wtf is this. DNF. Get the fuck out of my face.

1.5

I don't know if it's some kind of a glitch, but i've got only one song on this album (which should last 1h and 18 minutes) but i don't really care bc it wasn't really good. Sounded like weird improvisation for me and didn't really stick to anything i would know. I didn't like it.

Yeah, I don't get it.

Its like listening to a train wreck fall up a staircase. Its awful and you want to get away but you stay out of morbid curiosity because a trainwreck falling up stairs makes no sense and youre hoping youll understand what youre witnessing

There are not many albums that sound like this one. I can say that much at the start. I greatly dislike the cover of the album because it creeps me out. I feel like there are a lot of songs about animals on here. I did not enjoy the jokes that were apparently inside studio jokes, which I can only assume were included because the drugs did in fact work. I won't judge anyone who pretends to like this album. I know you don't really like, because it's not good. Okay, I'm sure someone likes this album but can also admit it's not very good. As I have said a few times before, just because the sound on this album is different doesn't mean it needs to be in the book. There are worse albums in this book, though I have to admit this is one of the worst overall, but it's very clear the experimentation was the point and that doesn't mean it's good or worthy of inclusion. Drugs can sometimes help an artist make good music, but drugs can also cause an artist to make...this. Mr. Beefheart, what you've just recorded is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in this rambling, incoherent double albums were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational, put-together song. Everyone who listened Trout Mask Replica is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Not my style

1.5 - Bad

No joke, I broke my foot the day I listened to this. Listening to this was still more painful than that.

I can't imagine how this even got made, let alone made it to a list of albums I must hear....
