4.0 excellenttef | October 30th 13

Fantastic album; although long, still coherent. Incredible musicianship on show here and great vocal work too. Lyrics are funny but pretty hard to fully appreciated of Engish is nog your native tongue. The songs with voxcal sound effects have a hypnotizing quality that's not found elsewhere in the Zappa catalogue. Must listen if you loved Joe's Garage.

Intricacies in lyrics accompanied by fantastic instrumental work and layers like a giant chocolate cake. One of Zappa's best and most cohesive works.
