After reviewing supposed modern masterpieces, I decided it was time for a real classic.

Hot Rats is totally up my alley. I love these jazz-oriented works of art. It is what drew me to Focus and why I like earlier work from KC, like Lizard and Islands. And they all are unique.

Zappa playing is brilliant, as are Ian Underwood (notably the sax on The Gumbo Variations) and the guest artists.

For elaborate reviews, I point you towards others who have done it much better than I ever could. I leave them to albums with fewer reviews. But I wanted to add my appreciation for this album by adding a 5-star rating.
