>His private persona erupted on Rock Bottom (1974), one of rock music's supreme masterpieces, a veritable transfiguration of both rock and jazz. Its pieces straddle the unlikely border between an intense religious hymn and a childish nursery rhyme. Along that imaginary line, Wyatt carved a deep trench of emotional outpouring, where happiness, sorrow, faith and resignation found a metaphysical unity. The astounding originality of that masterpiece, and its well-crafted flow of consciousness, were never matched by Wyatt's later releases.
Do you agree with Scaruffi? Is Rock Bottom/Robert Wyatt great?

Considering how weird Soft Machine was, and the fact that Scaruffi loves weird shit, Rock Bottom definitely wasn't the musical dada shitposting I expected. It's an incredible work nonetheless
