5 stars A surprisingly enjoyable album, of course much of it is utter nonsense but this time it's all pretty fun. In fact this is a total masterpiece and I have absolutely no problem with all of the ridiculous sound collages and other absurdities on the album because the overall effect is utterly brilliant. Silly hardcore proggers with no interest in psychedelic music probably won't like this album though since it's pseudo- psychedelic. My initial reaction to hearing it was to dismiss it as way to chaotic but after repeated listenings it has become one of my favorite, because as chaotic as the album is it never loses focus if that makes any sense. I think it's safe to say that this album is one of Zappa's best if not his best.
