This whole album is put together so well. This album made me think that concept albums were cool. This album was so good, it was responsible for me checking out Genesis! Of course, I had to forgive it.

Beefheart in his Nudie suit on the cover does not look good, but this album is great. Grow Fins is one of my favourite Beefheart tracks

This is a wonderful album. Beefheart is going for hits now and I cannot understand why this album wasn't successful.

I bought the single Roll Away the stone after seeing the band on Top of the Pops. This album is great and the title track is simply immense.
