Comical and Extremely Cynical
by wade wainio Hancock, Michigan USA
Reviewed on November 14th, 2003
Another great Frank Zappa album. The music is topnotch (especially "Brown Shoes don't make it") and the albums lyrics range from pure silliness (Duke of Prunes) to extreme cynicism like "Uncle bernie's Farm," which includes this dialogue:"FZ: We got this car: when it hits the wall you see the guy dying . . . got the little plastic puddles of blood . . . by the car
I'M DREAMING . . .
Ray: He has intestines . . . he has plastic intestines you can
stuff back into his stomach . . ." Everything is plastic (fake, cheesy, american) including the guy's intestines. So incredibly cynical and conceptual that it deserves respect simply for its brilliance! I have this on Vinyl. Get the Vinyl version, the way it was originally intended.
