This album. I still haven't listened to it because I feel I'm not prepared to appreciate is properly. I want to listen to every other album that even remotely interests me before listening to Trout Mask Replica. There's absolutely no way it can be as complex as described. I even like all other scarufficore albums.
I treat this album as the final boss of entry-tier music.

Weed will help immensely, this album is a synesthetic's wet dream, so is Loveless and Twin Infinitives. If you don't have that gidt like some of us have to isolate sounds and visualize them, you'll never see this album for what it really is.
When it clicked for me, and not just "Oh this is good!" Like- REALLY clicked, it overwhelmed me with a feeling of happiness and absurdity that I was grinning through the whole thing.
It clicked when I heard Hair Pie: Bake 1 followed by the transition into Moonlight in Vermont is probably the greatest transition of one song into the next I had ever heard.

Stop reading Scaruffi

Yes I can visually see those albums, like isolating all instruments in their own sections.
Do you think I should definitely be on drugs/alcohol when listening to this album for the first time?

Loveless is really good when you're sober and just driving or riding your bike and looking at nature.

Stop going on RYM. Scaruffi's tops are great, and his autism convinced me that he was seeing shit that I was seeing too. So no. I'm not gonna do what you tell me, kid.
>>71506948
>thinks Scaruffi top is better than RYM
lmao
This is nothing special, its just a guy and his band playing polyrhythmic rock mixed with delta blues and free jazz with the guy screaming pure nonsense
>>71506927
Nah, I just meant weed puts you into that trance state easier. I have anxiety so it helps me particularly. First listens should be raw. You will hate most of it but that's fine cause most of us who like it didn't always like it either.

Go suck Dabe Gilbours dick

I immediately discard the opinion of everyone who rates this album 10/10

I chuckle'd.

Reminder that people who use these terms unironically listen to music for status rather than enjoyment or appreciation

I kinda just started to get into captain beefheart and while I now do like most of tmr, I listened to safe as milk first and liked that a lot. So for me, it was just me wanting to see where he went from there. imo tmr is so stripped away from the rest of his work which kinda hurts it

Oh yeah I agree, Loveless to me is what Brian Wilson laid out, perfected by Kevin Shields. Those guys just hear things that others can't as cliche as it sounds.
I'm really convinced they have some synesthetic perception of sound. The way Shield's talks about them pioneering shoegaze as just them messing around for hours and feeling a high from it especially.
