Title: We're Only In It For the Chipmunks
Review: This I give four stars only because it's impossible to get anyone else to listen to it. Most people are immediately put off by the Chipmunk vocals. In college, my roommate banned me from playing this, saying, "I've tried to get into this, but it's just noise." I've often wondered what it would be like to have this on vinyl and be able to play songs like "Concentration Moon," "Flower Punk" and "Lonely Little Girl" at slower speeds. I know high-pictched vocals were a norm for Zappa, but just think how good those songs would sound sung more, dare I say, conventionally.They ought to make a stage opera out of this album, a la Tommy. The plot could involve the government rounding up hippies into concentration camps in the 1960s. Wouldn't that be cool? Are you listening Moon?
Is the review positive or negative?
