5 stars This is my favorite ZAPPA recording along with the "Hot Rats" LP. "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" starts with a jazz piece "Didja Get Any Onya?", which introduces the elements of complex rhythms, free jazz wanderings and atavistic bellowing, which are all strongly present on many tracks of this album. Following blues calms the storm for a while, but soon the music returns to the avant-garde straits. Some fuzz basses here resemble the sound of JOHN WETTON from the KING CRIMSON days, and there are some great emotional moments in the music. Recommended with a caution, as this may bee too strange music for some people! The final title tune predicts the sound of forthcoming grind-core musical movement.
