John Harris of The Guardian would discuss the album confronting it with the idea that it takes several listens to “get it”. However, he’d go on to say the album “still sounded fucking awful” after a six listens.

“Grown So Ugly” by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. This afternoon I went rummaging through my dad’s CDs looking for an album that disappeared from computer at some point and I came across “Safe as Milk”, an album by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. It might not be their best album, but on the back cover held “Grown So Ugly”, my favourite song by The Black Keys and now I know it’s a cover. I’m not that surprised in fairness seeing as the name alone sounds likes a Captain Beefheart song. If anything, I now love both bands even more. If you’re interested, The Black Keys version can be found here.
