I think that this is Don Van Vliet and Co.'s best and most accessible album. The sound production is superb. Each song is a gem, with delightful jangly guitars, wailing horns and Beefheart's disturbingly hilarious and thought-provoking utterations punctuating it all. There is curious use of a Mellotron keyboard in some 'tunes'. "BrickBats" is a great meditation on a late-night fire, that is Halloweenish in character. Also recommended is the album "Shiny Beast" that was recorded in this era, and is almost 'pop' sounding. Beefheart quote: "I'm not a rock star. I'm a soft person. I'm not a rock." JImmyjamsslo
