Rating: WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO GIVE THIS ALBUM 5 STARS?
Is it perhaps undeserving? And would you be capable of judging a Frank album?
Here, the Zappa jazzrock roars, stands out, is depraved like "Willie the Pimp," is without his Mothers of Invention and thus, free. Abstraction takes shape.
From its instrumental beginning to its post-dream stages, the "hot rats" dress elegantly. In the "Regalia," among the "Camels" and "Under the Umbrellas," nothing is more delightfully fragmented. As always, the good Beefheart is by his side eager to learn, indeed.
Let's remember Zappa, let's not allow "Hot Rats" to be devoured by rats in any filthy attic, insert it into the player and you'll understand!
And don't applaud at the wrong time, Frank hated that!

I'm a little pimp with my hair gassed back
Pair a khaki pants with my shoe shined black
Got a little lady ... walk the street
Tellin' all the boy that she cain't be beat
Twenny dollah bill ( I can set you straight )
Meet me onna corner boy'n don't be late
Man in a suit with a bow-tie neck
Wanna buy a grunt with a third party check
Standin' onna porch of the Lido Hotel

HOT MEAT

The hardest thing to do is to break the rules and silence everyone.
Franco did not care about the opinions of others.

He is the one who gave life to the perfect fusion of Rock, Jazz, Classical music, and Pop.
'The Gumbo Variations': A track of almost 17 minutes marked by sax, violin, bass solos and more!!! Gigantic.
By Jukan
"Zappa is in itself a micro-universe of sounds, movements, and sensations."
"In this album, all the tracks are equal in perfection, and 'Peaches En Regalia' and 'Son of Mr. Green Genes' are simply first inter pares."
