I tended to like the songs that are left in German over the ones they translated to English. The English ones I found the lyrics sound disconnected from the music. It was meant to be listened to in German, leave it the fuck alone.

Favorite songs: Bankenlied, Song of a German Mother, Lied von der Belebeden Wirkung des Geldes (The Song of the Invigorating Impact of Cash), The Trenches

Least favorite songs: Mother Beimleim

2/5

Eric Cartman did "In The Ghetto" better.

Favorite songs: Suspicious Minds, I'm Movin' On, Wearin' That Loved On Look, In the Ghetto

Least favorite songs: I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms), It Keeps Right On-A Hurtin', Don't Cry Daddy, Mama Liked the Roses

Favorite songs: Roll Over Beethoven, Please Mister Postman, Money (That's What I Want), Little Child, All I've Got To Do

A few excerpts from the album review....

"...a combination of financial issues, the uncommercial sound of the record, and lack of interest from singer Alex Chilton and drummer Jody Stephens in continuing the project prevented the album from ever being properly finished...

....After two commercially unsuccessful albums, Third documents the band's deterioration as well as the declining mental state of singer Alex Chilton"

Now....do those sound like descriptors of an album considered essential listening? NO!! There's too much of this absolute fucking garbage on this list....

Favorite songs: Thank You Friends

Rufus is a good singer, but my fuck.....it's just.....not my genre. It's like Michael Buble got really into renaissance fairs .....I had another of his albums in the past (Want One) and felt similarly about that one.

Oh man, this song has a reputation surrounding it. Looking forward to hearing it!

I love how immediately, 0.01 seconds into the first song, it sounds like they threw a bunch of musical instruments down a set of stairs, and that insanity doesnt let up....at all....

I can see how Tom Waits probably sweated this guy pretty hard. A lot of similarities. The Captain is just a lot more "out there"

Apparently with the song China Pig, they decided to play it outside of the recording room where the microphones were, hence why it sounds like it's being played a mile away.....because it was lolol

Overall, that was a wild album! It certainly lived up to its expectations! Fell off a bit at the end there with subsets of songs that felt unfinished, but I can see how Beefheart was trying to change the format of blues rock by injecting jazz into it. Not something I would listen to often, or probably ever again, but interesting album nonetheless

Favorite songs: China Pig, Moonlight on Vermont, Dachau Blues, Pachuco Cadaver, My Human Gets Me Blues

Least favorite songs: "Hair Pie: Bake 1", Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish
