However, I suggest you first try just about anything else Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band ever recorded (authorized studio releases), the rewards are profound!I first became a Beefheart fan about 1968 or 69 when my older sister brought home a copy of “Strictly Personal” and from that time on I enthusiastically followed his career to the end. In 1974 when I heard a new record was out I rushed down to the store to get a copy. I was a little taken aback in the store when I first saw the cover but, I thought surely it must be some sort of sarcastic, facetious humor. The first time I put “Unconditionally Guaranteed” on the turntable I was absolutely shocked, appalled, and profoundly disappointed with what I heard and I filed it away in my record collection. Once every two or three years I would pull it out and play it again, hoping to find some redeeming qualities or a good song I had missed but I was always disappointed again and again. About 20 years ago I put my turntable away and replaced my vinyl Beefheart collection with CDs but I never bothered to buy this one or “Moonbeams and Blue Jeans” on CD.Recently (2017), and partly from reading reviews here saying that it was not that bad, I decided to give it another chance. It has been 20 or 25 years since I heard this music. I still have to say this is not really great music. However, it is not quite as bad as I once thought it was. At only 31 minutes total playing time, it is a very short CD. Half of the songs are less than three minutes and only one song exceeds four minutes. The arrangements, performances, and production are all fine for what they are, simple little pop songs. The best songs on this CD come close to approaching the quality of the lighter songs on the previous “Clear Spot” album, but still fall a little short of the mark.The worst things about this record are Van Vliet’s lyrics. That is ironic because Van Vliet was an absolutely brilliant lyricist. After 10 years in the music business and producing what is to this day some of the most original, innovative, challenging, and engaging, music in the history of rock (or any genre of popular music for that matter), I can’t entirely blame Van Vliet for wanting wider recognition and some financial success. However, I don’t appreciate why he thought dumbed down near meaningless lyrics would get him there. In a way, the two previous records “The Spotlight Kid” and “Clear Spot” from 1972 were a bit of a sell out by Capitan Beefheart’s standards but, those recording, while offering more accessible music retained artistic merit and integrity. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Doesnt work for me *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018* This is quite an average album. It isn't the captain's vessel and it sounds that way.It's listenable enough, but just doesnt work for me. I don't care if something is commercial or not as long as it is true to itself. To me this sounds like someone that isn't commercial trying hard to be and failing ... im guessing that is why it has the sarcastic cover, which is very beefheart.I would recommend bluejeans and moonbeams for those wanting a better, more accessible beefheart album. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Maybe the Captain’s most mediocre album - but good liners! *by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2019* While the musicians accompanying the Captain are a real ‘Magic Band’, the production and singing are perhaps the weakest of any of Don Van Vliet’s albums over the years. It does have several good songs, and I’m glad to have added the CD to my collection (along with all the original vinyl editions) but the reality is that I will not likely play this one very often...compared to (for instance) ‘Bat Chain Puller’! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/26534803-unconditionally-guaranteed](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/26534803-unconditionally-guaranteed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
