Jim Jones has compared writing for Frank Zappa’s new album to that on ‘Strictly Commercial’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Since Frank Zappa last CD (Strictly Commercial) on Columbia Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. This is the first studio album from Frank Zappa since bad diagnosis in 1995. Enjoy the show.
I listened to the opening track Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow and liked it a lot. Dancin’ Fool which is my favorite is a truly Frank Zappa sounding song. Some call San Ber’dino from Strictly Commercial as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Dirty Love is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama is a perfect sing-along. Cosmik Debris is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Trouble Every Day - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Strong, powerful vocals of Frank Zappa in Disco Boy are very impressive. Fine Girl is the funkiest number on the album. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Sexual Harassment in the Workplace from the beginning to the end. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Such hits like I’m the Slime will leave you hooked. Joe’s Garage - My least favorite song on this album. This track is clearly meant to showcase Frank Zappa’s vocal abilities. Song Montana is actually a funny song. Valley Girl is worth the money. A unique and uplifting song. Muffin Man as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature.
