Free Music Notes for Hot Rats
Free Music Review: Try to get the vinyl version also
Hit: 5 Stars
As some reviewers have said the differences between this and the original are gigantic! Try to get the original and buy yourself a good turntable (and a good phono cartridge). In fact , if you are a zappa fan you should get everything in vinyl that you can as most of his older stuff suffered when re-mixed for cd. As for the music on this classic of 70's rock ...what else can i add that hasn't been said already! Free Music Review: Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Hit: 5 Stars
Instrumentally, this is Frank Zappa at his very best, a sometimes frenetic, sometimes lush potpourri of jazz and rock. On this CD, the musical genius of Zappa and his cohorts is not hidden in a display of antics. Yet there is still a hint of the humor and parody so often used by the Mothers of Invention cohorts. It is consistently fabulous throughout. It is the way I want to remember Frank Zappa. "Hot Rats" is definitely in the top five of all recording CDs I want to keep for all time. Like all works of true genius, this work is ageless and will be cyclically revived for years.Free Music Review: "A movie for your ears", as the liner notes say...
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't have the original vinyl version of this, but I don't really want it. I find this a masterful album, and my favorite track is the now epic The Gumbo Variations. Reportedly, it was rather short on the original release. Zappa is, unfortunately, notorious for re-recording parts of his catalog (We're Only In It For The Money and Cruisin' with Ruben and the Jets are the most well known examples of this), but here (as in Sleep Dirt) this is what I believe Zappa originally intended. I love this album, which may be the greatest jazz rock album ever recorded. There is not one false note in the entire thing. Free Music Review: Frank Zappa is Frank Zappa...nothing more....

i'm not expert in jazz-rock, but wonder your style...Free Music Review: Slamming, jamming, mess of a symphony
Hit: 5 Stars
From one of the most underrated composers/musicians/and some would say social satirists from any generation, this collection is an amalgamation of many styles and still remains accessible to nearly anyone. Folks, there is a reason Frank's music is still so lauded today. This glimpse of his creative genius is testament to what music can and hopefully will become.
