Safe As Milk is an esoteric album. It will alienate many listeners right away, even though most of the songs are just overdriven country and blues with a prominent lead guitar. However, this is the heaviest rock album so far on the 1001 Albums list.
What contributes to this album being inaccessible is that it's hard to know if this album was done in jest or not. On the one hand, the lyrics and singing are completely flippant and over-the-top; yet, on the other hand, the music and musicianship are incredibly professional. If you think Frank Zappa is strange, Don Van Vliet is certifiably nuts.
I love this album. It's fun, catchy, loud and creative. I couldn't believe I had never heard any Captain Beefheart until I started exploring the music from the 1001 Albums list. The band was certainly underrated and unappreciated. And Ry Cooder is an amazing guitarist—another one who never has gotten his due.
All the songs are great; you just have to give the album a chance. Zig Zag Wanderer, Dropout Boogie, Electricity, Yellow Brick Road, Abba Zaba, Plastic Factory, Where There's Woman and Auntumn's Child are the stand outs.
★★★★★★★★★ ☆
