I didn't freak out, but I sure listened to a partly weird album. There's no doubt that Frank Zappa (the musical leader of the group) is very skilled and can make good songs ("" is beautiful). But it seems to me like the whole record oozes sarcasm and irony. It's like he doesn't take anything seriously, not the music, not me, the listener, not anything. And this bugs me, because I do take it seriously. Musically, this is a very avantgarde album with sounds that are still modern today and must have been mind-blowing at the time. Some of the songs have little to no structure, some are just some kind of noise. It was definitely an interesting listen, but I'm no Zappa fan now.
