Advantages: A wonderfully weird album Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit to weird for some?
...get a lot for your money, and there's weird quoteworthy lines to freak your friends with like "Suzy cream cheese, what's gotten into ya'?" and "are you hung up?".
in summary if there's someone you don't like and want revenge on, spike them with LSD and play them this! ...
Advantages: Crazy, humourous, artistic Disadvantages: The artwork has been printed poorly.
Absolutely Free, is Frank Zappa's second release with the Mothers of Invention and it certainly shows what is to come and really portrays Frank's adaptability and penchant for weirdness, mortalised with insane vocals. The album is constructed in a clever way, so that each song blows the previous one away with a different and crazy style yet still as an album still works as one big powerful block still. A mixture of psychedelic rock, jazz from satan's ... ...confronts conformity, sexual repression and pop music with humour. We can get carried away with the craziness of it all without giving time to praise the musicians who never put a foot wrong in this bombardment of tunes. Throughout the album, there is a mention of fruit and veg. Call any Vegetable is my personal fave but Brown Shoes Don't Make it is a musical and lyrical masterpiece, detailing Old City hall Fred and his fondness for bedding a 13 ...
Advantages: One of the most subversive albums of all time Disadvantages: Original artwork is concealed within the booklet
...mind-bent kids littered Haight Ashby. We're Only In It For The Money (WOIIFTM) is very much the soundtrack to this disintegration, and in many ways, was the herald for the death of the decade. Despite being recorded between August and October 1967 and released the following January, WOIIFTM places me into a particular year ('68) better than any other record.
WOIIFTM was initially conceived as Our Man In Nirvana, a collaboration between the Mothers ... ...comedy routines. Bruce had died in 1966 from a suspected morphine overdose and was a cultural hero to the 'Underground' scenes of New York and Los Angeles. Work was just beginning in the preparation of the album when Frank Zappa first heard a little record called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Zappa liked the record enough, but the levels to which the album was quickly embraced by the hippy-trip populace surprised him. Further spurred on ...
Advantages: Total Groundbreaking Art Disadvantages: It Should Have Six Stars
...stovepipe type hat wearing a trout mask. You know you're in for something out of the ordinary. This album is available from Amazon for a very reasonable 7.99 GBP, is available on the Warner Brothers label , catalogue number 7599271962 .
~~ Some Background
Don Van Vliet was a friend of Frank Zappa's and had made several groundbreaking albums before this, such as "Safe As Milk" an "Mirror Man". An excellent blues harp player and possessed of a reputed ... ...special. He quit music in 1981 to concentrate on painting , from which he reputedly makes a fortune. He lives in a caravan on a beach somewhere and communes with whales. Not your average Joe.
In the late sixties he got some guys together who supposedly had never played an instrument before. When he was satisfied with his band they returned to relative civilisation and cut a double artefact that became this album. Interesting or what? This isn't ...
Advantages: Read text thanks Disadvantages: Read text thanks
...This is a greatest hits album from a band who I have up there as one of the master bands of Rock and Roll music. I am sure some of this bands songs have appeared on movies as soundtracks. In addition the main reason I bought this album is because they included the song you better you bet as track number 16 as well as the classic song 'who are you'.
Largely because of these two classic tracks I bought the album as I wanted to listen to other tracks ... ...songs all of which were greatest hits by the Who. I will try to describe and detail as best as I can on a track by track basis.
-------------------------------
Track 1: I can't explain: This perhaps is an interesting song, as it starts off in a punchy and forceful way on the guitar as well as having nice to hear lyrics. The song provided me with a pleasant mood to hear other songs on the list. Overall I find this a really great track that really ...
Excellent performance, tonnes of steam, ventilated ironing board (*)
