Psychedelia
5 stars This album is a fantastic and amusing masterpiece. From the pastiche of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band for the front cover to the comical lyrics and musical devices used throughout the album for instance a lyrical example might be "who cares if your so poor you can't afford to buy a pair of Mod A Go-Go stretch elastic pants." which is clearly an amusing line. This album is far from just a cheap spoofy gimick. It uses the studio to great effect splicing sounds to create madcap soundscapes which perfectly demonsrate the hysteria of the album. The album's instrumentation is also rather good with classy guitar work from Frank Zappa. All in all a masterpiece of wit, melody and structure, it flows with perfect coherence to the end.
