5 stars I cannot believe people haven't given this 5 stars! This shows Zappa's most avant-garde style and the compositions are amazing and way ahead of its time. I have never heard anything like it. There is definitly a ton of influence of classical composers in this (Stravinsky, Stockhausen, Varese, etc.), and crazy jazz fusion (a bit like Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew"), some blues influence, and many other influences. I reccomend to anyone that didn't give this 5 stars a few songs to check out like Stavinsky's "Rite Of Spring" and "Firebird Suite", Varese's "Ionization" and "Poeme Electronique", Stockhausen's "Hymnem", Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew", and perhaps some Indian music and a bit of African music (Didja Get Any Onya sounds a lot like African stuff).
