Classic debut from the good old Captain. Blues music isn't aging as well as many other genres, but Safe As Milk is an exception. Call On Me has so good replay value.
"Never trust a man whose favorite Captain Beefheart record is Safe As Milk"
Fun fact: In Electricity, Beefheart's vocals got the mic destroyed last take. That's next level.

Why don't you think blues is aging well? So much of it is timeless to me.

I think what he's saying is, when's the last time a new blues artist got popular?

I think blues rock, as played by predominantly white men, has largely aged pretty poorly, with a lot of it sounding formulaic and constrained by its template, falling victim also to our collective overfamiliarity with its tropes and perhaps even our society's increased questioning of appropriation (loving or otherwise).

It is indeed.
I said it isn't aging AS WELL as other 60's rock-subgenres (such as psychedelic rock, and progressive music). I didn't said it hasn't aged at all. Else, Skinny is on point here. The largest exception being this album and Jimi Hendrix

Oh, I thought you were talking about blues the genre, not blues rock the subgenre of rock. Agreed then.

I'd like to see a straight blues revival of some kind.
Anyway this album is pretty fucking awesome; it's some of the most incentive blues rock I've heard. 9.5. But I admit that I'm a Trout Mask Replica person, and that album is flawless. You read this right and I regret nothing.

I actually think Lick My Decals Off, Baby is a perfect melding of the two, and it's my favourite (plus just one of the best albums ever made). That shit is wild.
