Review title: Staggering achievement on its own terms
Product review: Beefheart succeeds in perpetrating a massive musical joke at the expense of those pretentious critics who know nothing about music but like stuff simply because other people don't. He deliberately sets out (as stated in a recent interview) to create "the most unlistenable garbage ever created" and then sets back to wait for the plaudits. If you have friends who know nothing about music, and want to appear to have exclusive tastes, then this album is for you. If you want music to listen to, then stick to Beefheart when he's trying to create music, not having a joke at your expense. Unconditionally Guaranteed is a good start. 5 stars as a statement, 1 star as an album.
