 Rating:  - Disappointed, although still goodI bought this album because I was told that it was a good 'first album' for Frank fans. Although I have a few others, I thought that one that is billed as accessible might be worth having. I was disappointed. I did enjoy it and there are some good songs on there, most notably the title track but if like me you are a fan of the anarchic humour and musicianship of Sheik Yerbouti then this will disappoint you as it did me. Yes, it's a good album and worth listening to, but I would not rate it as one of FZ's best and think that there are better places for the new fan to become acquainted with his work. Rating:  - A great introduction to the works of ZappaTrying to decide which Zappa album to introduce yourself to his many and varied works can seem a daunting task, but you could do a lot worse than taking Tinseltown Rebellion as your starting point.

Newer versions of old songs (including "Ain't got not heart" & "Brown Shoes Don't Make It") sit comfortably between newer tracks like the punk-baiting title-track and "Pick Me, I'm Clean". Add to this the amusing interludes of "Dance Contest" and "Panty Rap" ,where Frank asks the crowd to donate "various items of feminine under-garment" and you have a great record. Perhaps more suited to more recent Zappa converts than die-hard fans, this remains a classy album. Not essential, but you'd be foolish not ... Read More: |
