Description

Who else but Frank Zappa could devote almost half of an album to "your friends in the vegetable kingdom"? Due to his proliferous output not all of Zappa's music is to everyone's taste, but this album is very accessible, not too radical a change from the preceding 'Freak Out!', although it doesn't contain kickers like 'Trouble Every Day' and 'Hungry Freaks, Daddy'.That said, the sequence from 'The Duke of Prunes' to 'Soft Cell Conclusion', about the human relationship to the vegetable, how to make contact with it, and then how to groove together "at the church of your choice", is as hilarious andmore… groovy as can be. But still the cultural criticism isn't far behind in the great tracks 'Plastic People' and 'Brown Shoes Don't Make It'.It's nothing like 'Joe's Garage' or 'Sheik Yerbouti', both having a firmer base among the mainstream public, but it is definately worth a listen to, and exemplary of the diversity of Frank Zappa. Again, there's a lot of intricate and intruiging music that transgresses any genre definition, and a lot of welcome humorous silliness that I really miss in music today.
