Discover The Genius Of Zappa

Review Score: (8/10)
A great mix of radio-friendly and not-so-radio-friendly songs, scorching guitar riffs, songs covering topics never before and never again covered, clever and often very humorous lyrics, and some really interesting improvisational work where you don't really know where the music's heading next -- that is the world of Frank Zappa. There is a little something for everybody. And the more Zappa you listen to, the more in awe of his talent you become.

There are so many outstanding songs on this album, and I would have to say "Flakes" is among my favorite of all Zappa's songs. Dylan fans may also appreciate the little homage to Bob in this one. "Broken Hearts," "Bobby Brown," "Dancin' Fool," and "Jewish Princess" always manage to put a smile on my face.

This is truly some unique music by an artist that can never be duplicated. If you haven't already been introduced to the world of Zappa, start soon--you are really missing out!
