Honestly, that part of the review kind of annoys me. Zappa's vocals aren't meant to be

"amazing" they're supposed to be cool and fitting. Plus by calling every single humor track

"lesser" it seems like the reviewer misses the point of a lot of Zappa's music. In my opinion,

the interplay between humorous hard rock tracks and emotional instrumentals is what makes

this one of Zappa's best and if the album only had tracks that were like the instrumentals, the

album would suffer from being stagnant.

Nice dude! I only have it on CD (back when I used to buy CDs lol)



I love how 2/4 of the people on the cover aren't even on the actual album.

I actually think this is one of Zappa's best. The lyrics are disgusting at some points. lol

God I love this album. One of Zappa's best. Wind up Workin' in a Gas Station is perfect.

Agreed. I feel it's one of his misunderstood albums.

Well not really, he can't be that misunderstood as an artist, because his fanbase is huge, and getting bigger, with every passing day. However, I think this album gets overlooked quite a lot when people talk about his work; probably down to the really smutty topics, but the music behind it is awesome.

I would disagree, he is misunderstood even to his fan's, I have everything, and I like that most albums are all over the place, some aren't mostly his jazz, but how many popular musicians release full albums of jazz between rock albums

Exactly. They're jazz fusion too though so his jazz albums are part rock as well.
