How do any of you guys find this appealing? Like this is an honest question that I really need answering, it's all just noises that don't go together.

Because it's funny. I like absurd humor.

Think of each song as broken up into sections, the same way the whole album is broken up into songs. All of the noises go together, sometimes only for a moment.
Jeremiah Roberts
get back to Radiohead, this is not for you
Hunter Cook
It sounds cool and creepy at times
William Gray
listen to more blues and jazz if you wanna "get it"
or just keep exploring one day it will probably make sense
Austin Rodriguez
just turn your brain off, don’t ask questions, and accept the bulbousness

I made the mistake of listening to Safe As Milk first, which has actual music on it.
Connor King
Listen to his Blues stuff before this one. Safe as Milk is a good way to go.
Jeremiah Murphy
It's not. It was created specifically to out the pseud, a big practical joke played by Captain Beefheart. Unfortunately, everyone took it seriously and now you have people running around saying things like "dude it's supposed to sound bad but it has polyrhythms so that means its actually good". Anyone who tells you that you aren't smart enough for the album likely hasn't even dissected the album themselves (or likely doesn't even know enough about theory to); if they did, they'd realize just because you put some wacky technical stuff on a big pile of shit doesn't make it good. Same thing with bands like dream theater.

It's a meme. No one actually listens to this shit in their spare time for enjoyment. It's interesting as an art project of sorts but that's it

When do noises go and don't go together?

Blues and jazz have nothing to do with it. You either like it, or don't. The only reason Don had a career is Zappa - and he's the guy who thought an album of random noises like sirens was the best thing he'd ever heard.
I personally have no use for Beefheart, and Zappa's Synclavier work, like The Yellow Shark. A lot of it is just noise. Some people get off on it, I don't.
People who love and jerk off over Beefheart remind me of the guy we knew in college, who only liked really bad movies - the worse it was, the more he liked it. It's just how his brain was wired. And we were cool with it, as long as he didn't try to force us to watch his awful movies. If you like Beefheart, I'm cool with it. But if you try to force me to listen to it, go fuck yourself.
David Gray
A lot of anons here cling to bands like Beefheart so they can sneer from their pathetically short ivory towers how you're too dumb to understand the brilliance. Just like they do with movies, books, video games.
Fucking neckbeards, man.
Justin Rogers
This record literally sounds fine to me. Maybe you just need to listen to a lot of different music to get used to something like this.
Jace Miller
Get back to Radiohead, this is not for you
Hudson Adams
Listen to some free jazz
people that cant recognize more complicated patterns just hear random noise,it sounds unironically good and even catchy once you go through more music
Beefheart is merely a mid-tier boss
Isaac Wood
Get back to Captain Beefheart, this isn’t for you
Noah Cook
This, desu. People go way overboard calling it noise like they’re listening to Merzbow.

It's fun.
Jack Adams
are people actually confused by this album? cool guitar interplay, somewhat free form rock songs and a dude who is schizo or something, it's not that hard to understand
Chase Diaz
It's because they try to find some inner/deep meaning in it, and obviously, they miserably fail. Based Beefheart making pseuds shit their pants.
Grayson Young
50 years later, this remains the biggest pleb filter in music. I truly believe that anyone who dislikes this has nothing worthwhile to say about music.
William Moore
How you can listened "Moonlight on Vermont" and say that with straight face?

The compositions are actually really intricate and well-done though. People don’t praise it because they think it’s so-bad-it’s-good.
I guess because it changes so fast you think its random? I don’t really understand criticisms like yours.

they are intentional and particular. that's about all you can say about the tracks apart from the 2 '67 leftovers.

I don’t know that means. They’re complex and unique arrangements.

doesn't make them well done.
Lincoln Barnes
Sure they are. They’re great performances too
Kayden Perry
>complex and great
correct, but that doesn't make it good. imagine someone makes an elaborate wedding cake made entirely out of under-cooked macaroni and cheese. sure, it looks amazing, and it must have taken a lot of work, but I'm not eating it
Landon Jenkins
You almost need to listen to it without the vocals to fully appreciate it. The instrumentation is totally engaging on its own.

The only reason I posted an honest opinion in this thread, is because unless I openly praise the smell of their farts, the usual neckbeard anons would lose their shit over someone not liking what they do.
I don't like Beefheart's music. That's where it ends. Posturing and sneering from people who are just consumers and not creators is just free comedy.
>"You're just not smart enough to understand the ravings and "art" of a mentally ill man"
Sure, Jan.

It’s a grandiose deconstruction of American music, Jan. You don’t seem to get it.
