Customer Reviews Daring Ugliness But actually there are moments filled with beauty mixed with furious sound collages and delirious talking from inside the piano. Zappa liked the concept of sounding ugly, thus the review's title. It can sound shocking when first listened, but later on the listener gets accostumed and finds a real sense in this piece that (in FZ's words) started out to be a ballet but probably did not make it. Furthermore, this is, in a way, the birth of "conceptual continuity" and the first record in which FZ showed why he was one of the best editors to ever work in a recording studio. Try and imagine Frank cutting and pasting tape like a mad sciencetist and putting bags of sand over the sustain pedal of a piano while already thinking about what to do on the next album. It must be said, though, that this album is not recommendable for those not interested in deep in FZ or avant-garde music.
