Second studio album by the American multi-instrumentalist. Originally released in 1969, it was Zappa's first recording project after the dissolution of the Mothers of Invention. It features the work of several artists in addition to Zappa, including one former member of the Mothers of Invention, Captain Beefheart, and Don 'Sugarcane' Harris. Five of the six songs are instrumental; the other, 'Willie the Pimp', features vocals by Beefheart. In his original sleeve notes, Zappa described the album as 'a movie for your ears'.

Reviews"...If you're eager for a first taste of Beefheart or interested in the new approaches to instrumental style and improvisational technique being developed these days, this is as good a place to start as any...", "...This album, Zappa's first without the Mothers, is his attempt to make jazz appealing to non-fans....lush instrumentals still sound up-to-the-minute. RATS also includes Captain Beefheart singing the epic 'Willie The Pimp.'...", Highly Recommended, "This rocking, brilliantly ambitious follow-up to an album of 1950s doo-wop pastiches was Zappa's biggest UK hit...", "A Cogent Exercise in Jazz-Rock Fusion with the Added Attraction of Fz's Serrated Edge.", 3 Stars - Good - "Secure and melodious, this captures Zappa's art as it lost the febrile nature of the early Mothers and ossified....into easy-listening jazz-rock. Nice tunes, though.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "HOT RATS saw Zappa, in his first proper album without the Mothers, perfectly melding jazz and rock....Full of power, this down-and-dirty album delicately fuses both genres successfully."
