John Peel and Pierro Scaruffi (both extremely well versed in contemporary and experimental music since the 1960s) regard this as the best rock album ever made.

Is Trout Mask Replica confirmed 2deep4/mu/?

Unfortunately it has been memed to death so people seem to automatically assume it's shit. It has definitely gotten more popular and is talked about endlessly here (usually critically). John Peel and Piero Scaruffi are just listeners, though, no matter how well-versed they are. I wouldn't consider this THE best album I've ever listened to, but it's definitely one of them. If nothing else, the poetry is undeniably fantastic.

It's in my top 5, but Frank Zappa is better.

ahh that's why it's constantly on /mu/core charts! and why last night there was a thread in memory of Captain Beefheart! we all (most of us, anyway) hate this album! yep!
>>61103167
nah, most like it
people just meme on it because it's /mu/core

You must be new here.
Ella Guru is my favorite song on that album.
>Trout Mask Replica
>2deep4u
I think you meant 2complex4u or something because the lyrics on it are far from being "too deep".

You ARE new here, tripcunt. Most Trout Mask Replica threads are flooded with people who deem it unlistenable or whatever shit.
>>61103244
>flooded with people
>implying it isn't samefagging
it's the same with Death Grips threads, most of the hate is a few people samefagging, most of those who don't like it stay off the threads.
Anyone who "doesn't like" TMR is a dumbfuck who deserves to be sent straight to the gas chambers. No exceptions.
just realised today is 5 years since he died

Some people just don't understand weirder music
You know how some kids excell at math and get put in advanced math class, while others are just not so good at it?
You know how some kids excell at sports and get put on teams, while others are just not as good at it?
Listening to music is the same, some people are good enough at it to expose themselves to weirder music, and some are not as good and should listen to the middle of the road stuff.
It doesn't make them a worse person anymore than not being able to play football well makes you a worse person, but they're just not an advanced music listener if they reject music that doesn't have "nice" parts in it.
They can still live a fulfilling life, but should try not to say shit like "weird just to be weird" because it makes them sound actually stupid, and not just stuck in remedial music listening.

I'd agree if noise music weren't a thing. Pure noise is irredeemable from a musical perspective.

i don't think there's a single respected rock critic who doesn't hold this in high regard
>>61103923
What's the melon's opinion on this album
>>61103975
i said 'respected'
but really, i don't know. i don't follow fantano, but i was under the impression that he largely reviewed new releases, so i'm not sure that he'd comment on trout mask replica.

>the lyrics on it are far from being "too deep".
>My Human Gets Me Blues is not deep on 3 different levels
oh boy
>>61103975
he said a couple of times that it's "outdated" and that he prefers doc at the radar station much more
basically he said that he "gets" it but he wasn't blown away or anything by it
>>61103085
since when does /mu/ unanimously hate tmr?
I love Beefheart, but I prefer Shiny Beast a little bit better.
>>61103085
i love it and think scaruffi is an idiot, peel is pretty cool but not to be idolised at all for any reason
i also loved this album before i ever came to this site so idk i guess that could have a bearing on it
i think that people who come here without knowing any music at all apart from rap from the last 5 years' musical opinions don't matter at all... like a t a l l so who cares what they think
