Pere Ubu "Street Waves"
I wonder if I can cover this effectively.

For the first time, I just listened to what has to be the most fucked up album ever made, which is Royal Trux's double album Twin Infinitives. Um...kids, this should be Exhibit A in why you should never do heroin, EVER. It is a total mindfuck, but not in a good way.
I'm frankly astounded this ever got released, and while I think this album is probably bullshit, it also probably had to be made, because I don't think there is any album that could be more fucked up than this.
I like Royal Trux.
I think all their records have some merit. I like Twin Infinitives quite a bit - at least, the version that I hear in my head when I remember it. Maybe I will feel differently when I play it for real.
Keep in mind that I'd never listened to Royal Trux before this and that I listened to the entire damn thing all in one go. It's rough going.
Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.

Try 'Thank You' - I really like that album.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I think the best RTX album to start with is 'Cats and Dogs'. Good songs (without being the all-out boogie record that Thank You is), cool production, still retains a sense of ??? from the earlier records.
Maybe their best LP.

Well, I like me some boogie, and I like me some WTF factor, and if they combine them right I'll go to Cats and Dogs. But Twin Infinitives is so messed up that I think I'd need to hear Royal Trux totally straight just to see if they could actually do it, so I might go to Thank You next.
Best tracks on Twin Infinitives are definitely "Jet Pet" and the 15-minute track which is, fittingly, probably the most listenable thing on the album aside from that ragtime piano thing that closes.
