Any other fans of this on here? This album has ruined my credibility, nearly evicted me and destroyed my eardrums, but I love it still. There aren't any rock albums today that produce the same outrage garnered at the genre's inception - over thirty years on, this is still a blistering, amazing album that can upset even the hippest friends or parents. I'd throw "revolutionary" in there, but that'd insinuate something has been made since that measures up to it - Trout Mask Replica is influential only in spirit. But it can be enjoyed by yourself, if you give it several chances. Though to get into Beefheart I recommend starting with "Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)".
