"The best Zappa album of the Waka/Jawaka and Hot Rats period, Grand Wazoo is also one of the most underrated within his extensive canon.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown encompasses a lot of what made the year unique, while making steps toward progressive rock on songs like Child of My Kingdom and a stro..." [+] Reply

"Don't Believe A Word the strongest track here I agree,Borderline,Massacre,Johnny good tracks also not a patch on the 'Jailbreak' album though but a good listen." Reply
"A album from a band just getting started so not their most best work but a must listen for any tool fan" Reply
"A forgotten prog gem that I believe sits along prog classics like In The Court Of The Crimson King, and Close to the Edge. The album is two side long tracks of psychedelic, funky goodness. A very under appreciated album." Reply

"While a few of these tracks go for way too long, there is enough melodic and hypnotizing tracks to keep you enjoying it. Favorite tracks: Contre le sexisme, Sunday, Female Mechanic Now on Duty, Hoarfrost, Hits of Sunshine, Karen Koltrane A- 7.5" Reply

"No Peart yet, but that doesn't keep this from being a kickass album. The musical elements of what would become the worlds greatest hard rock/prog band are already evident, even if the songwriting isn't quite there yet." Reply

"This album is so beautiful, if I’m the first to say it, it is so beautiful that it makes you cry. It gives so many emotions. I hate crying and I haven’t cried many times the last 10 years. I’d say about 9 times in the last 10 years. This album was one of them. Her music is so touching and etherea..." [+] Reply
