Music reviews of Over-Nite Sensation
Music Review: it's a classic
Rating: 5 Stars
Frank Zappa has a talent for creative goofiness. That means, even though your first opinion upon listening to any one of his albums (except Hot Rats) is that he's deliberately singing in a goofy style, his ability to put a song together creativey and make it sound like something *no one* else could possibly create makes him an original genius. It really does.
Over-Nite Sensation captures every aspect of Frank Zappa's creative and silly side perfectly. Could it be the ultimate Frank Zappa album? Well, I choose Hot Rats as the mans BEST album, but Over-Nite Sensation isn't far behind. This album, unlike Hot Rats, has vocals, and silly lyrics about going to Montana, dental floss, um... girls doing naughty things, and more!
Meanwhile, his FLAT OUT AWESOME guitar soloing skills are implemented into the songwriting, and other unpredictable things such as female vocals in the background.
It's just a really great album, though a very short one. I highly recommend this album. You might not like it, I admit, because he really dips into his goofy side here, but he also backs up his silly ways with great songwriting and a creative touch unlike anyone else.
Description of Over-Nite Sensation
Imported from Japan by Rykodisc.Packaged in deluxe mini-album jacket sleeves, these 10 classic albums by rock legend FRANK ZAPPA are now available as limited edition Japanese Imports! These packages re-create the original vinyl packaging in miniaturized form!
Best known for the infamous "Dinah-Mo-Hum"--a tale of sexual depravity and bovine perspiration--Over-Nite Sensation is a flawlessly executed collection of jazz-rock Frank Zappa classics. The seven-song set, which includes backup vocals by Tina Turner and the Ikettes, equally showcases Zappa's unique penchant for storytelling and the abilities of his studio-musician sidemen. Zappa's guitar work is also some of his finest, flaring up on "I'm the Slime," "Zomby Woof" and "Montana." --Andrew Boscardin
