 Rating: - We miss you FrankHaving listened to most of his work this is the one I have to play on a weekly basis.Sofa No 2 is so full of life. buy it now Rating: - Nasty genius?Frank Zappa, to misquote Douglas Adams, had a brain the size of a planet. His legacy covers a massive volume of work. In his time, he covered everything from doo wop to seriously avant garde pieces. His monstrous talent, technique and understanding of music was undeniable and he was instrumental in changing the course of music in quite a few ways....but there is an underlying cynicism and misanthropy to his ouvre that I have never quite come to terms with. Like a nasty kid in the playground pulling a girl's pigtails, he could barely conceal his distaste for nearly everyone...but, like Groucho Marx or Chris Morris, his acerbic humour was part of his genius. The music here moves from singable ditties to the frenetic and almost ... Read More: Rating: - One of his bestIf I had to compile a top5 for FZ, this would definately be in it. I bought the LP 20 years ago, and the remastered CD sounds as fresh and crisp nowadays. Brilliant Rating: - Stands the test of time. No doubt about that.I remember reading a review about this album when it was released 1976, under the banner of "One size fits some", and it had a fairly poor review, possibly by someone whose musical zenith peaked at "The Birdy Song". I bought it anyway on the strength of a previous purchase ; "Apostrophe". A good move. I was totally taken aback by the tight, precise musicianship of this recording. Every musical detail was catered for. I won't blether on too much , but the bluesy guitar and piano intro on "Pojamma People" is superb, as is the guitar solo in the same track. Of course there is the expected Zappa quirkiness on this album, but I think that this is possibly one of his finest recordings. Buy it and make your own mind up. Rating: - Zappa's masterpieceFor me, 'One Size Fits All' is Zappa's masterpiece and one of the great rock albums. Zappa's tight, complex arrangements were combined with exciting high-energy rock rhythms and played by a classic edition of The Mothers which included versatile musicians such as Ruth Underwood, George Duke and Napoleon Murphy Brock. 'One Size Fits All' is a record of tremendous vitality and musical intelligence. All of Zappa's diverse influences are evident on this magnificent, multi-layered, sumptuously recorded album which reveals new delights with every hearing. Anyone who wants to know what Zappa was all about could do no better than start listening here. |
