Oh you.
I don't consider Beefheart prog, don't worry, I find that that to be truly insulting to the genre.

i liken TMR to other material Frank Zappa's produced with the underlying difference that it's entirely devoid of cynicism and sarcasm.

That's my main concern, he actually takes himself seriously, and so do his fans, that's really frightening.

there's still the trademark Beefheart humor that makes him such a heartwarming character. and it seems overtly cynical to challenge him with being showy when TMR represents the same acute character that created it.
