Trout Mask Replica

The Captain Speaks...

That ain't no trout, they say. It's a carp he got fast and bulbous on that one.

Well, that was a disappointment, as was learnin' how he made them noises with a group starved, ordered to make his noise, and waitin' on Zappa.

I'm still fishin' for such a beauty.

Such good taste...

    A critique as confusing as the album (I mean that as a compliment)! Though of fishy albums, with respect to Beefheart, I liked "Thing-Fish" bettah

    Nice work - check out a band called The Beasts of Bourbon - the vocalist (Tex Perkins) was a huge CB fan!
