TROUT MASK REPLICA

He, who had forever loved and praised natural environment, reacts unnaturally and totally out of sync once he's been surrounded by nature...or I have to quit from music. Many ideas but with absolutely zero substance. It's a thousand light years away from the safe waters of " Safe as Milk " as we are sent for fishing trouts, sailing completely helpless into the troubled waters of Captain's mind instead. " Trout Mask Replica " has crossed many seas and has visited unlikely territories by the years. To give you an example, it's the favorite album of the famous director David Lynch. I am also sure Tobe Hooper had been influenced as much by it, as by Beefheart's persona and the other members in general. If you have seen his "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" splatter of 1974, you know what I mean. As for Rock let alone Prog Rock, sorry, it isn't. It's rather some kind of Blues of a new perspective. For me, this one deserves either * star for the lack of any melody or ***** stars for its innovation in the vocabulary of modern music, depending on the weather and my mood.
