A time capsule and homage to a legend Give a listen to his other solo albums and you will find 1 track on each that contains the utterly brilliant silliness of The Mothers of Invention. In spite of what other reviewers think, an artists album should not sound like his other albums, the artist would then be AC/DC! And to counter the review it is in the style of Vai. The works on this album, while agreed not as "commercially" popular as his mainstays, are works of shear genius. It's raw and rough around the edges, yet whimsical and seductive, created with his natural prodigial passion and his recent "fine-tuning" by Frank Zappa. Listen to Zappa's "Sofa" and "Theme from Sinister Footwear" and you'll know what I mean. I would recommend this to almost anyone. If you don't like guitar instrumentals, crude comedy and vulger language then stay away, otherwise buy and enjoy.
