Title: is this zappa's best album?
Review: Maybe so. It is also probably his best band. FZ has often said that music shouldn't get in the way of good lyrics. He has also practiced (though not explicitly said) the opposite. This album is the exception. The two combine in a way rarely found: Humour and some of the most sophisticated music you're ever likely to hear come together here. I have a real problem if I have to compare this album to "we're only in it for the money" or "200 Motels" or "Live in New York", or "Hot Rats". But it may just be the best. I dicovered FZ through this album when I was 15. I have never looked back since.
Is the review positive or negative?
