This week we're discussing the best, most awful, controversial, hilarious, and upsetting album to ever grace God's green Earth, Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. An album Mike has been listening to since he was 11-years-old and still can't justify why anyone should listen to it. So his brother Robert is here to set the record straight and give (at least his perspective) on why it's the best album ever made. If you don't get the hype, good. You're probably better off spending your time having a family or making money or something.
