For the Jazz Fusion Fans....Zappa's best
Great collection with tolerably absurd lyrics. The never cross the line into being distractingly ridiculous. The melodies here are VERY strong, and FZ's guitar solo on Inca Roads, his best ever. Chester Thompson's drumming is loose and fluid and George Duke is doing his thing singing and playing...

Not a Jazz Fusion Album !!!!
One Size fits all is one of the albums created by zappa's 1973-1975 band. This band is considered by most fans to be Zappa's most musically adept band ever. One Size definitely shows this.The band is extrodinarily tight, and consists of superb musicians such as: George Duke (jazz pianist),...

His best "studio" album, IMHO
I agree with the prior reviews - this is his best, and that fact was driven home to me with authority when I saw "Zappa does Zappa" last year. I was so glad that Dweezil pulled as much as he did from this album. The lineup is one of (if not the) best that Frank ever had, and the tunes reflect...

Genius or god?
Whenever I consider an artist, I first of all take into account whether the individual is a genius or a god. My criteria is based on the musical talent of the artist. For example, a group like AC DC attains god status because, although very talented, anyone that can play an instrument decently...

Viva Zappa
This, in my opinion, is the most cohesive Zappa album made.It shines like a diamond, all the many facets of the Zappa Universe. Humor, guitar abuse, difficult time signatures, raucous and sublime vocals, stunning muscianship and general bizarre lyrics make this, still, after all these years, a...

Gold is better
Another of FZ's classic works released as a gold CD. The dynamic range expansion offered by the gold is truly superior to any other form of recorded medium currently available. The complexity of Zappa's music is perfect for this. See also, Apostrophe (')

All these 5-star reviews must mean something...
Every lineup FZ hired was par excellence, and this is no exception. What makes this a standout, is it is probably the smoothest-sounding record he ever made, especially under the name of "The Mothers." The Mothers' music was often crude, tasteless, even harsh-sounding. And even though the...

Zappa still has not been outplayed!
If you are one of those people who say they dont like Zappa buy this CD. The guitar solo's on Inca Roads and Po-Jama People are enough to convert anyone with the slightest bit of taste into a Zappa fan. The music is great on this album from start to finish.

Zappa's best album of the 70's
This album is the culmination of Zappa's work of the 70's. Its predecessors: "Over-Nite Sensation" and "Apostrophe" were fabulous, but had not matured to the degree of excellence as this album did. Zappa assembled a group of veteran musicians. The refined and consumed madness of its jazz-rock...

One Size Does Fit All...
If you are into Zappa's mid-seventies, George Duke-influenced, funk...then look no further. This is by far Zappa's funkiest entry, and if you get a chance to buy Bongo Fury which was recorded live at about this time, the two complement each other perfectly. Andy, in my opinion an underrated...
