Sheik Yerbouti




While I got to admit, this is a funny album, this is where I started to lose interest in Frank Zappa. First thing that turned me off is that he started recording digital. Crappy cold sound, too sharp and you couldn’t feel the bass. I don’t know how people thought that digital sound was good. It’s made for stuff like iPODS where you can turn it up and the bass won’t distort the tiny speakers.
Zappa’s lyrics started getting 3rd grade level. He was always sarcastic, now he just starting writing bathroom humor.
I liked his Classical music. I think if Zappa lived, he would have left Rock music and just write Classical. That’s what he always wanted to do anyway.
