Who are the Brain Police? is a one of Zappa's zanier tracks. Zappas discography has a lot range, and Hot Rats is a different animal from Freak Out! which is the album with that track. Hell, there are few tracks on Freak Out! that are entirely similar to that song, as it jumps all over the place. Hot Rats is instrumental jazz fusion (save for some vocals on Willie the Pimp) and is nowhere near as experimental as the track you've hard. Give Hot Rats a listen, Urban isn't trying to hurt you this time.
If you had heard this album by Devin Townsend as your first, would you consider pursuing the rest of his discography?
Hearing that you probably wouldn't expect an
Epicloud or any Strapping Young Lad material in his back catalog. Artists have the potential to be dynamic, and it's a bad idea to write off the artist as a whole because of one album (or even worse, just a track) by them that you disliked, especially with someone like Zappa. Give Carpe Mortem's videos a preview and you might be surprised that they sound nothing like Who Are the Brain Police?
