I really can't explain the "Avant Garde" part, but someone else might be able to.

Cheers man appreciate you took the time to reply.
I listened to half of Trout Mask Replica earlier. Was alright, but I don't "get" it. I've seen this guy referred to as a genius and whatnot, so want to understand why people think this. I liked some of the music on that album though.
What is Safe as Milk like?
That track is alright, it's listenable. Doesn't really sound like anything brilliant though (not that it isn't, I just don't think I get it. Or maybe I'm overthinking it.)
