I wish so badly to give this a low score since he's poking fun at the Beatles, but its Frank Zappa and he was one of the best
I couldn't even finish the album. I got to "Nasal Retentive Calliope Music" before giving up on it I have no idea how people enjoy listening to this.
Maybe i'll come back to try it again some day.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Such an incredibly fun album. Zappa was a genius.
Genius, so much fun listening to a band with such sharp wit, blast whomever they wish, cleverly.
Brilliant. End of story.
This is, without a doubt, the most perfect art rock album ever.
I listen to this on a 5 second transition from each song, and it flowed AMAZINGLY, just another way this album resembles Sgt. Peppers. Zappa was a crazy genius way before his time.
Zappa's visionary work, alongside Beefheart and the Velvets, virtually invented what was to become 'punk', 'new wave' and 'post-rock'. The album whilst dedicated to the Beatles (title, cover notes and parody the multi-millionaire Sgt Pepper ), remained similar in structure to his first two seminal recordings but with this, the best of his early period, uses the collage of parody with brilliant technical expertise.
The album is the musical equivalent of a Burroughs novel - each cut-and paste piece lasting a couple of minutes, that while seamingly disparate, are in fact welded into a seamless continuity.
Zappa's masterpiece is the third part of his great psychedelic trilogy, and stands as one of the twentieth centuries greatest monuments of art.
Is this stage one of lumpy gravy?
