Album of the Week - Frank Zappa - Apostrophe / Overnight Sensation
The only Zappa I've ever heard was 'We are only in it for the money' so I thought I knew what to expect.
So I just finished Apostrophe, very enjoyable and different from what I was expecting, a much more mature and evolved form of Zappa. Loved all the funk aspects and the proggy bits without being overindulgent. The singer sometimes annoyed me, mainly in the first half of the album, where it was more a sound over guy than a singer.
Probably my fav pick of all others posted that I hadn't heard before.
Very talented players.
8/10

I thought this was album of the week, not albums?
Yeah, that's a fair comment/concern. Â I originally planned to go with just Overnight Sensation, which is the superior of the two IMO, but oddly, could not find it readily available on its own. Â In my defense, these two albums were sold as one, as you can see from the image, and a quick web search will confirm. Â I actually tried to upload OS to SoundCloud and instantly got hit with Copyright notices, which surprised me a bit. Â So that's the story, deal with it or not.

Yea not listening to both. I'm passing on this week then.
Why don't you just check out a couple of songs before passing? Maybe you'll enjoy it. You don't have to listen to all of it.
The voice of reason, UKE. Â RP, you're usually not such a wanker, so I'll let that slide.
As I said, I intended originally to only go with Overnight Sensation (Tracks 10 - 16), so listen to that. Â You angry young pig.
@ Tyson - Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

I have had literally nothing to do with this thread. For what reason, exactly, have you bothered to mention me? And twice, at that?

Never been much of a Zappa fan, never will be. The humor aspect does nothing for me. Vocally doesn't quite work for me. Musically Zappa is brilliant. Not an album that I would listen to on a regular basis, but an album that is flawlessly executed. 8/10 (i said album, taking all 16 tracks as one piece)
As for Raven and others bitching about two albums stop acting like fucking pussies. When something is packaged and presented together it is fairly safe to view it as one piece.
@Kittaan - Another solid pick. I appreciate your taste in music. Well done.
