This is an album that SHOULD HAVE been great, but really isn't. Sounds like he was too lazy to come up with new material and rehashed old songs. The "story" line is truly twisted and hilarious in places (not for the PC crowd!). One of the Zappa albums I listen to the least, but it's worth checking out and drawing your own conclusion. |

Not essential, but a nice addition to any Zappa collection. Recorded live in Virginia in 1975. The Recording was on a tape given by FZ to a fan, who in turn gave it to Gail Zappa some years ago. It's been cleaned up and, except for one glitch, sounds pretty decent. It's a solid, if not earth-shattering performance.
A few "conceptual continuity clues" make it of interest. It features very early versions of "Honey Don't You Want a Man Like Me", Illinois Enema Bandit"(N.M. Brock on vocals makes it worth having YET ANOTHER version), and "Zoot Allures". The band features Roy Estrada, Napoloen Murphy Brock, Andre Lewis, Terry Bozzio, and most interestingly, Norma Jean Bell on alto sax and some vocals. She was in the band only a few months in late 1975. Her "extra-curricular activities" led to her speedy dismissal, apparently. |

Absolutely brilliant deconstruction of all your favorite hits from the 60's. The cover depicts Dick Clark as a dancing stormtrooper lured by a carrot. Interpret as you like. |
The Residents Commercial Album | 4.5 |
The logic behind this album is that the structure of the typical pop song is the same as that of commercial jingles, except that the pop song repeats the chorus-verse sequence 3 times. This album consists of 40 “pop songs” that are exactly one minute long each, and in which none of the elements are repeated. To call these “pop songs” is definitely a bit of a stretch, however. |
