I find this one to be kind of 50/50. It's a really interesting collection of sounds and there are some flat out great tracks; but where a 40-45 minute album of weirdness can be quite fun (and just about the right length) a double album of weirdness in this case is just too much for my tastes. It starts to turn into muddy aural wallpaper after a while.
Beefheart apparently didn't wear headphones to hear the playback while recording, he just sang... which seems to work more often than not.
