a BEAUTIFUL FINAL COLLECTION COPY!

             [DOUBLE ALBUM IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE]

The stunning middle and conclusion to Frank Zappa's epic Joe's Garage series is a lot like Act I. Very guitar oriented, very blunt and to the point, and very technically complicated. From the 5/4 sections of "Keep it Greasey", to the blistering guitar solo of "Watermelon in Easter Hay", Acts II and III do not disappoint. Frank Zappa keeps the same crew of personnel this time around, but now has Terry Bozzio in on drums as well as Vinnie Colaiuta. Spot on performances and spot on vocals are highlights of this part of the story.

The "Central Scrutinizer" continues the tale in this section of the story, in which Joe is now in prison doing work to get by without getting sexually assaulted. Soon he imagines his own song, and then laments over the decisions he has made in life. Finally, he is released and decides to work in the "Utility Muffin Research Kitchen." Highlight tracks are
"Packard Goose," which has an outstanding vocal line, great guitar and bass play, and some awesome alternating time signatures during the verses. "Watermelon in Easter Hay" is a guitarist's dream, a 9 minute guitar solo that goes through all the motions, evolving and unevolving into a brilliant and emotional piece of work. And the finale, "Little Green Rosetta," with its party atmosphere and a great ramble in the middle from Uncle Frank himself.

Overall, WE feel that not only does this album surpass Act I, it totally exceeded our expectations of what Frank Zappa could do with his music. This is a masterpiece of an album and no ZAPPA fan should miss it. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, and some might find it too crude to listen to, but can not get any better than Joe's Garage Acts II and III
