it's just proto penis music

If “6 7” was an album
>>
>>129448223
fpbp. i've never seen an album so thoroughly debunked.
>>
start with trying to understand the accessible songs
>Moonlight in Vermont (this could've been a single)
>Veteran's Day Poppy
>Pachuco Cadaver (personal fave 2nd half is god tier)
>Sugar and Spikes
>Sweet Sweet Bulbs (outstanding riff)
>When Big Joan Sets Up
those songs are not that high of a listener level to grasp what they're doing with their eclectic layering and melodic motifs, after you get those the rest of the album is just a few steps further (besdes a few songs that are mediocre imo, and Idc for the vocal only tracks)

if you struggle with the songs I linked you need to listen to more music, the riffing on those tracks are amazing at parts and some of it is the best creative blues riffing you'll ever hear

and one more thing and this is fun even if you like the album, listen to the instrumental mix on youtube, Cap's vocals are great, hes one of the finest blues vocalists of al time (probably the greatest white blues man), but once you take out his admittedly distracting vocals whats left is still so dense and complex that it stands on its legs alone, you can really try to zero in on what the harmony and dissonance achieves throughout and discern the moments that are more instantly digestible verse the ones that are very experimental and intriguing

if it takes three minutes to 'explain the joke', it's not a good joke.
good rule of thumb.

and why 'concept art' generally sucks.
>>
>>129447958
there's nothing to get, it's quirky music for the quirky "holds up spork" le random xD that infested this board when /mu/-core was established.
>>
It finally clicked but there's now way I'm listening to 75 minutes of this
>>
>>129447958
it's the Rolling Stones deconstructed
>>
>>129451352
>>129447958
it's not "concept art" or "bad on purpose", it's just avant-garde jazz but the jazz is replaced with blues rock
it's not that far away from some of Zappa's stuff

listen to Safe as Milk if it's too much for you, that one is much more tame but still good
>>
Temporal context has to be the most overlooked part of what makes music work
>>
>>129451395
no, it's clearly bad on purpose.
there's no way nigga didn't know his disjointed rhythms and harsh vocals were directly contrary to what people liked in pop/rock.

I mean if deconstructing popular junk is your bag, go for it, but it's usually 'too much work' for most in the audience who just want to hear music performed well in a genre they learned to like.
>>
>>129451528
so anything that isn't mass-pleasing pop-rock is bad on purpose?
if no one liked harsh vocals and discordant music, we wouldn't have genres like death metal
>>
>>129451565
actually, if beefheart was performing death metal, he'd probably sing it in a Shirley temple voice.

going against the grain of what is expected was his shtick.
>>
Nobody who listens to Captain Beefheart is cucking anyone. It's for guys who spazz out at Gamestop and worship Elon Musk. Shit is very barely fucking listenable and mostly just tries too hard to be faux deep and contrarian and wraps around to just being obvious that a retard wrote it. We're floating different ways which ig is fine but yk it still sucks ig. But I've been talking to other people too so idk. It just is.

it doesn't try to be faux deep
a retard did write it and everyone knows it, even they knew
the difference between this particular album written by a retard and all the other albums written by retards is that this one managed to get a bunch of competent musicians to actually play the retarded written music to completion and it was mixed properly, and thus it stands as quite an unique album
>>
basic dada still filters /mu/ to this day
read tzara kids

lmao look at the true nature of the fucking 'zappa appreciators'. bunch of fucking midwit pseud niggers who think they're better because their idol sampled a washing machine with blues riffs played bad on purpose. fuck you and your jew nosed bozo trying to be a rockstar or some shit

Finally, someone understands the idea of dadaism by which this album achieved best. I'm not a huge fan of the record, but I can respect it's unique influence.
