Title: Plastic Leather 14DDD
Review: I have listened to this about as much as any album I have ever owned. What was once highly unusual I now view as the norm. Indeed, it might seem strange to Herb and Dee, but I have turned a lot of Top 40-type friends on to this bizarro piece of musical masterpiece. I once refused to lend the cassette (!) to some friends, telling them that they were not ready for it. It was sort of a Tom Sawyer whitewashing the fence thing, but I knew they would love it, but I also knew they would not give it a fair listen under any other circumstances.The incredible thing is that they turned this out from a live performance. The synchronization, the timing, the remarkably abrupt shifts in style and substance are truly remarkable. Zappa has such a unique talent of writing funny lyrics but making the actual MUSIC funny as well. He lived thoroughly tongue in cheek. This album is priceless. Absolutely superb. I would hate to imagine the person I would be if I did not love it.
Is the review positive or negative?
