george clinton's r&b skeletons in the closet

Who else think this is an underrated masterpiece, & George's best solo album so far (though all of his solo albums are masterpiece IMO) ?
I remember the 1st time i heard it, back in 1992. I was 15 years old & even with Prince i had NEVER heard something that crazy ! It took me a while just 2 UNDERSTAND this music, cuz it was 2 far away from anything i had ever heard b4 (except maybe "Batdance"), but eventually i realised that it was just pure genius.
I remember that all my friends hated it at the time, it was 2 different from what they used 2 listen 2, & they reacted 2 it as they would have 2 Philip Glass or Steve Reich, saying that it was 2 weird, not even music...
This album is really experimental, particularly the insane "Mixmaster Suite", & it does contain some of the FUNKIEST tracks i ever heard.
Now my (older & more open minded) friends really dig it, though being surprised by it.

What do u think? How did u react when u 1st heard it?
