"Tightly arranged compositions" I was reading a wikipedia page about a Frank Zappa's album, Burnt Weeny Sandwich. Here's an excerpt: "Burnt Weeny Sandwich is an album by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, released in 1970. It consists of both studio album and live elements. In contrast to Weasels Ripped My Flesh, which is predominately live and song-oriented, most of Burnt Weeny Sandwich focuses on studio recordings and tightly arranged compositions." What does "tightly arranged compositions" mean in that context?

Well I'm not a fan of the band, but from the passage you quoted, I think "tightly arranged compositions" means that the songs in this album are composed or written as a whole. As a reslut, each song recorded is tightly related to the other in its lyrics or melody in the album. In contrast, the former album has more live songs than studio recordings.
