I have now listened almost all of his official albums (only Spoltlight Kid and Trout mask left, I leave Trout mask to be last). In my shame I have to admit that I have very much underrated "Mirror Man". When I listened it a few days ago, it was just great!!! Of course itīs no trout mask, lick my, Doc or Icecream, but it is at least as good as Spotlight Kid, Clear Spot and Shiny Beast. Maybe the reason why I had underrated it is that in this album there isnīt that great dicipline that is all the other Beefhaert albums. It sounds to me, that that band has had a will to do anything they want inside the songs. I like many improvisation albums, so why canīt I like also Beefheart improvisation album? I understand now also, how great band Beefheart had!
When I listened Safe as Milk a few hours ago, it came to my mind a funny memory. Before I hadnīt hear this album, one friend told me that it is just a ordinary blues album! And sure it isnīt!!! Also when I listened Unconditionally and Bluejeams nonstop, I felt now that Bluejeans is better although I have always thought backwards. Well, how the music sounds it depends also your feelings at the moment.
