Really, really great. Just so weird and catchy, "Wowie Zowie" made me laugh.

OK, the first half is really TOO good for me to give it a 70. I'll exceptionally ignore the second half, but only because it's so good. I shouldn't, but... It's too hard to resist.

The first half is really good, but I just can't figure out what kind of musical pleasure you can find in the second one (apart from Trouble Every Day of course). The fact that this is ranked so high considering the whole second half is a gigantic Revolution 9 is something I don't understand. I thought people hated that song. I do, at least. It really annoys me, because I was thinking about putting this album on my chart someday... before hearing the second half. I just can't give a good rating to an album from which I can only listen to the first half. I'll rate later, to see if it grows on me, but for now I don't imagine myself giving it more than a 70. I'm sad right now :-/

One of the weirder albums I've ever heard! But I love it! It's got all the hippie/weird/experimental Zappa music I could ever ask for... and STILL he gave us so much more! This is one of his better albums though. This and Hot Rats.

I agree Hayden. WOIIFTM is one of Zappa's supreme masterpieces. The other one is Burnt Weeny Sandwich.

Well. I wasn't alive in the 60's, but I can what you mean. And I'm not insulting the album, and by no means is it bad, and I love Zappa and such, I just find this album a bit weak. First song is fantastic, probably a influence on Another Brick In The Wall P2. You can also tell how much Sgt. Peppers was influenced by this. But, for the Mothers, I prefer We're Only In It For The Money.

Hayden, Trouble Every Day is even more relevant today than it was in the 1960s.
