2 stars My first contact with Captain Beefheart's work was when I first heard the Frank Zappa song "Willie The Pimp", where he does an amazing job, a really threatening and aggressive voice, with great groove, like a pimp really! However, that's not what I find here, this album is just an amount of recordings (yes, because I can't find any coherence in the album organization), where weird sounds make background noise for the Captain's voice, The fact that this is a double album, with almost 1h20, doesn't help at all for a new listener like myself, it becomes tiring, saturating, repetitive and boring. I confess that something like this in 1969 is, undoubtedly, admirably, but this cannot entertain me, it irritates me, I can't like this.
