I am a huge Zappa fan have nearly all that he has produced, which covers a huge range of music from modern classical music, through heavy rock, to very sophisticated rock, to doo wop style and there is very little that is not marked by the genius of Zappa. But Frank is not for all it is very demanding and some may find his lyrics too offensive to be acceptable, and many will find some of his content obscure. Of all of his output Civilization Phaze 3 just about sums up everything there is to know about Frank, this is highly demanding music that defies easy categorisation, but is best described as contemporary classical, with the sections joined together by recitative based on the texts from Lumpy Gravy from the late 60s. I grew up as a teenager listening to Zappa which belonged to a friends older brother so I got used to this stuff from an early age and it has stayed with me ever since. This is his magnum opus, and if you think you like Frank you have to hear this.Read full review
I am a Massive Zappa fan however I was first introduced to the world of all things zappa-esque as a 'rock' figure. If this sounds like you, then this is album is not for you. However, I like really weird Music. This CD is intelligent, bizzare confusing and crammed full of Zappa's signature synclavier sound. This is not a rock band recording. If you like jazz from hell you will probably find a lot to enjoy here. However, if you an open-minded individual check this out and change your views of the legend himself.. Mr Frank Zappa.
