Free Music Notes for Sheik Yerbouti
Free Music Review: UGH...not the brightest moment in a career
Hit: 2 Stars
I dunno, boys and girls.
Dont get me wrong. I truly think Zappa is one of America's most overlooked musical geniuses. Screw the Beatles. He has been a beacon in a musical wasteland of overly produced, commericalized, imitative pop gunk that has poisoned us for years. I was glad to see him live and to own his recordings.
But for us true Zappa fans, (the ones who own a copy of Absolutely Free)this is kinda crappy. Frank resorts to dated high schoolyard humor, the music became more standardized glam-metal-reggae and left out the adventurous angular, polymetric twists and aural weirdness he was known for.
I think as his bands got younger and younger, Frank tried to keep up by resorting to their level of humor, which was kinda juvenile.
Just my opinon, but this is not a true reflection of what Frank Zappa was capable of.
See The Yellow Shark, for instance. A mature work, by a much wiser man. Not one song from this album was included in that work.
Sorry folks...but see One Size Fits All...for real Zappa rock.
Sheik Yerbouti Poster
One of his most popular and infamous albums, Sheik Yerbouti finds Frank Zappa unleashing his unique brand of sociological documentation on the disco-injected culture of the late '70s. From crises of sexual identity to the rhythmically challenged, the songs are hilarious and occasionally close to home (The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith didn't care much for "Jewish Princess"). The satire is some of Zappa's most scathing and unsympathetic, and the music is equally loud and unrelenting--especially when showcasing the talents of sidemen Terry Bozzio and Adrian Belew. A must-have in any Zappa collection. --Andrew BoscardinJazz Music CDs
