This was maybe the fifth zappa album i've heard, and........ouch!, big disappointement, first I tough i'd like it if I give it some more chances, but no..

In fact, this album is a satire album were zappa mock the Hippie culture, ( Just look at the album cover, a spoof of the beatles Sgt.Pepper)... In this period zappa was mostly on psychedelic and weird sound experimentations.. The vocals are a big dissapointement, the chipmunks-like vocals are kind of funny, but it's just what you don't like to hear, a lot of the songs here are just idiotic.

This album is maybe unique, but I think it's the most overrated zappa album...

Don't expect long guitar solo or some other great instrumental parts, there are just very short pop-sounding satire song.

2,5/5 : Collectors/fans only
