"A great introduction to Zappa. With his band, he parodies sixties style song structures, and uses avant garde mayhem to satirise the whole of the US, from hippies to the middle classes."
"A year or two later, we find Zappa as a virtuoso guitarist playing with some acclaimed jazz musicians. The lyrics still maintain the bizarre humour. Great jams."
"Zappa in a different guise again. Nonsense doo-wop songs interspersed with harpsichord dominated constructions, and a final jazz blast of 18 minutes. Avoid the version with film dialogue."
"Zappa in rock mode. I'm the slime has a great narrative vocal and guitar solo. Montana is quite frankly hilarious. Be warned though, one song is very rude."
"Zappa's biggest selling album. Mad lyrics about talking dogs and a Eskimos being attacked with yellow snow - yuck! Rocks out tremendously on the title track."
"This can take at least ten listens to tolerate, let alone enjoy! Two catchy tunes, wierd dialogue snippets and dissonant orchestral constructions. A challenge!"
"This is the one where Zappa pretends he's a cartoon piglet. The music is 'lumpy gravy' to the power of ten, but this time the dissonant orchestrations are childlike and quirky. Innocent fun."
"The three vocal tracks are handled by a jazzy female vocalist whilst Zappa puts in some awesome guitar playing particularly on the final track and a surprise Spanish sounding acoustic jam."
