Would be pretty good if it was all instrumental and cut down to 1-2 discs. As is, it's a cringefest.

"Sy Borg", "Keep It Greasy", and (oh my lordy) "Watermelon in Easter Hay" make the third act worth it. Joe can't get over Mary or Lucille. He's been used by heartless Catholic sluts, so he looks for love (and humiliation) in the arms of a sexbot. This is the conclusion of Joe's story, after he gets out of prison for fucking a sexbot to death and not being able to pay the company for the damage he'd caused their product. In this dystopian world, Zappa shows us his persecution complex: a world where music is outlawed (like that would ever happen!). So all Joe's got is the music in his mind, and therein he plays his last guitar solo...and this is Zappa at his best. I've got a real love-hate thing for Zappa. He's an utter douche (just watch Baby Snakes ffs), but he writes such great music.

While the third disc gets downright outlandish lyrically, I love the instrumentation. Only Zappa could make a talking sex toy a great character on a concept album, lol.

If this was cut down to a single LP and was all instrumental, it would've been a masterpiece.
