I don't think the earlier-written songs are bad, I just mean that their use points to Beefheart evidently writing less new material over time, which of course culminated in him ceasing to write new material at all: the ultimate tragedy. -

I do still like Shiny Beast... I just prefer Bat Chain Puller. I like Drumbo more than I like Robert Williams, and Shiny Beast has no Denny Walley, whose slide guitar is so good. In general I have mixed feelings about late-period Beefheart, cuz it's obviously still really good, but also I guess I don't like the "feel" of the band on the last three albums so much, or the production. Also, a depressing number of the songs are recycled from years before, which lends to the feeling of general decline. Ice Rose (the music for it at least) was written in 1967, Owed T'Alex was a poem written in 1965, Suction Prints and Harry Irene were written in 1971. -

"Tarkus" (the album title) is a portmanteau of "tank" and "carcass", because this is prog rock and this is how we do things. I would be very amused if Shadow Tarkus got his name from the album, because every time I see his name in the game I already involuntarily think of the big armadillo tank, but like. Dark. Evil. The Wayfarer approaches with another ethically dubious task... Shiny Beast is good... but original Bat Chain Puller is superior. -

It strikes me that if your industry standards involve delivering food which can cause third-degree burns, something is wrong with your industry standards. -

Except for the drug laws (which "equated possession of four or more ounces of certain narcotics with second degree murder") and also the Attica thing. -

Because Solidarnosc led to free elections in Poland and thus the downfall of the Stalinist state!!! It's a video game 'bout organizing and agitating and stuff. "the guy" is LECH WALESA, you philistine, he founded Solidarnosc and won a Nobel Peace Prize, then became President of Poland, and it turned out he was a much better union leader/dissident than president, and now he's a pathetic marginalized old man The Speedy Gonzalez screenshot is maybe my favorite game screenshot ever. Also, rank this post itself. -

You don't get any reward specifically for ending the Beast plague, you have to keep going past Tinraya to the Vahnatai fortress and defeat Rentar-Ihrno. -

All the signs in Grindstone still refer to "serpents" despite the nagas the giants worship having been replaced with the deep stalker monsters. Also, in a few places "east" and "west" are confused in the text, but I cannot immediately recall where. -
