Editorial Reviews
Like Sgt. Pepper or the first Velvet Underground album, Uncle Meat is one of about ten rock albums that throws out the rule book and starts over again. Conceptually, this record is a revolution. Zappa dismantles the whole idea of the rock album as a collection of songs. He fills Uncle Meat with litterally 100s of ideas that flow into each other. The music and sound-bytes don't have beginnings in endings. Rather, they simply set up the next piece, as the album gathers a run-away, hillucanatory momentum. Yet, every sound on this album has merit in and of itself. Zappa was able to let go of the steering wheel only because he understood his craft so well. You don't hear many albums like Uncle Meat. Even in the context of 1969 experimentation, Zappa's ideas are simply too esoteric and sophistacated for mass conception. Only very obscure bands like Henry Cow even hinted at picking up Uncle Meat's massive torch. In an age of Hendrix, Joplin, and Led Zeppelin blasting out flame-thrower blues, Zappa's brillant, mad-geunius confetti was bound to get lost beneath the whale of Stratocasters.
