Captain Beefheart at his best!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
One of the Captains contractual albums and therefore a little more MOR than his usual offerings. More melodic tunes and simpler lyrics but that said it's still a great album if you like the Cap.
Perhaps more accessible than previous beefheart albums,this is nonetheless a classic.I had not heard this for some years-still got it on vinyl,but don't have any means of playing it.Apart from Don Van Vliet,none of the original Magic Band took part in this recording-but Don's vocals and some haunting melodies carry it through.Party of special things/observatory crest/pompadour swamp/rock and roll's evil doll/further than we've gone-are in my opinion real gems.Perhap's not one for the Beefheart purists,but for me almost every track is "up there". Having all the Beefheart albums on vinyl,but being unable to play them-I thought it was time to invest in the cd's.This was the last one to purchase,I found a certain reluctance in myself to buy it.I'm glad I did-it is much,much better than I remember-a truly excellent album.Read full review
