Page "Captain Beefheart" Paragraph 36

Critic Robert Christgau gave the album a B +, saying that " I find it impossible to give this record an A because it is just too weird.

But I'd like to.

Very great played at high volume when you're feeling shitty, because you'll never feel as shitty as this record ".

BBC disc jockey John Peel said of the album: " If there has been anything in the history of popular music which could be described as a work of art in a way that people who are involved in other areas of art would understand, then Trout Mask Replica is probably that work.

" It was inducted into the United States National Recording Registry in 2011.
