Colonel Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains The Big Eyeball In The Sky

"full to the brim with brilliant ideas." Something I have never said, by the way. I won't even respond to the other provocations, since my musical tastes are mine, and I don't have the role of a music encyclopedia. So, if the Zappa albums I've listened to (6, since you're so obsessed with quantitative knowledge) aren't among my favorites, even though I objectively consider him a genius, I certainly don't owe anyone an explanation, least of all you.

"I think that if you really knew Zappa and not just one or two albums" -----------------> Anyway, in response to this, I want to quote the words of Zappa himself. When in the early '90s he took his little trips to Eastern Europe, he met Vaclav Havel, the president of Czechoslovakia, who told him that he had several records by the Mothers of Invention and Captain Beefheart, but apologized for not being well-versed in Zappa's more recent works. To which Zappa replied that he should not apologize at all because, in his opinion, "knowledge shouldn't be measured by the number of albums listened to."

Listen, Supersoul, let's not kid ourselves; the similarity you pointed out between a piece by Zappa and one by Battles can be replicated endlessly for every piece of every band, for centuries to come. It's exactly the same principle by which I could dismantle an entire Zappa album, and I could do it, simply because I know Igor Stravinsky. What does this mean? That Stravinsky had foretold everything, that he had already founded and deconstructed all genres, and therefore the expressionists and avant-gardists that came after him are merely representatives of his insights? I would say definitely not, but frankly, I’ll leave it at that because I don't want to waste time arguing over a statement that is clearly pretentious and, most importantly, doesn’t mean a damn thing.

Interesting album, but just interesting; it lacks that something extra that perhaps relates to Claypool's inspiration, not at the levels of Primus. What the hell Battles have to do with this or with Frank Zappa is something only supersoul knows.

Compliments, their latest album I consider to be one of the most interesting released in 2007. This is cool even though I believe it's not accurate to call it the point of no return, since the process of transformation hasn't been that abrupt. On April 12, I'm most likely going to see them at Estragon. Yes!

Alright, I wanted to give him at least a two.

Decent album, although Iron Maiden completely lost their inspiration after Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (though I don't mind X Factor and Brave New World). What really doesn't convince me is the production and Bruce's voice. A review as useful as a finished roll of toilet paper.

Since the times of Homo Erectus, no one has had the courage to listen to this stuff, and you’re reviewing it. Congratulations!

"This hypothetical 'new rave' seems more like a typically English indie rock chewed up and presented in an appealing and original way." If this is originality in music, it’s better to have other passions, like stamp collecting. Or documentaries about the lives of Beavers.
