Hi Jack I own every official Beefheart record and quite a few (commercialized) bootlegs. I listened many times to all of them and I can only agree with you. TMR is so inaccessible that even for a big fan of his music it is difficult to honestly like it. You can be bewildered by the raw power and musical extravagance of the album, but sincerely being fulfilled with it, I doubt. To me there are four masterpieces: Safe as milk, Clear spot, Shiny beast and the original tapes of Strictly Personal.

trout mask replica is not for fans of traditional music, maybe if you're a fan of paintings, then maybe you'll like it. i like it because of its vast differences between tones

It reminds me sort of Joanna Newsom's voice.
I love Beefheart ...( 6 months ago by Songwriter66)
I love Beefheart but i totally agree with some of the people here i dont like TMR simply because its un-listenable, i can't sit there and listen to TMR and enjoy it as i can with safe as milk etc, i do agree it is avant-garde but i'm not a fan of it at all. I still think beefheart was soo talented though

I like watching his interviews more than his music. Don't really like his music at all actually.

Many comments seem to imply that folk just claim to like it TMR. Well I'm not shitting or trying anything on when I say I truly enjoy TRM. In fact I love it. I like a lot of Beefheart, but TRM is the real deal - the rest doesn't measure up. I'm a big Zappa fan too but that's a different thing entirely. I also agree with an earlier comment - at this stage I can't even tell what's supposed to be so weird/inaccessible about TRM. One of the greatest fucking Rock N' Roll albums in existence.

hmmmm , i was in Mr. Held's speech class with Don in '59 , A.V High School, Lancaster,Ca. I believe he wore suits at that time. Zappa was around there someplace. Later---maybe 63-- Don did a lil concert looking and maybe sounding like The Dave Clark 5.
