I can see why it'd be referred to as the best, but what would make it the most important?

>>74073558
who the hell is saying is the most important rock album of all time?

>>74073684
Yes he is. The only reason we even care about him is because he shit on the Beatles. The question still remains, what makes it the most IMPORTANT?

Most influential rock album's probably something by The Beatles or Elvis.
>>74073558
Nah, it only hit niche stuff like certain forms of experimental rock, post-punk, and math rock.
>>74073688
TVU&N only hit alternative forms of rock music, which is also quite niche compared to more straightforward forms of rock music.

That record has an aura of "art-rock" that the previous albums don't have.

The work is so innovative and complex as to be nearly indecipherable. The rhythm section sounds so polyrhythmic that all rhythm is lost. The singing , vaguely interested in music, travels within alien universes. The guitar acts as atonal contracanto. The counterpoint of the ensemble is something halfway between the orchestral chaos of Charles Ives and the audacity of John Cage

Trout Mask Replica is above all a collage of abstract paintings, each different from the other in color, intensity and contrast, yet they're all homogeneous in their "abstraction".
Most of the songs are miniatures of dense, dark and crackling sounds that present themselves as a white man's rhythm and blues, but are in effect delirious episodes of psychosis. They preserve a shadow of bloodcurdling melody in the unbalanced bacchanal of the instruments, but is like the gasping of the moribund trying to articulate a phrase but only succeeding in putting together a blabbering mess: Ant Man Bee, Frownland, My Human Gets Me Blues, Sweet Sweet Bulbs. Here Beefheart's Dadaism is at its apex. The lyrics are pure nonsense, abstract sketches that serve only to set the listener on the wrong track.
