Title: Oh Frank, what happened?
Review: Do yourself a favour: if you haven't heardWe're Only in It for the Money, beg, borrow or buy a copy straight away. On that album, Frank Zappa produced a brilliant suite of tight, bitter little songs and experimental segues that systematically dissected the late 1960s. Such was the strength of that album that it remains relevant and compelling even today.'You Are What You Is' tries to do the same for the late 1970s and fails pathetically. Wit, experimentation and genuine artistry have been replaced by nasty smut, college-freshman level social comment and empty virtuosity. This is a messy, mean-spirited failure from a once great artist.GrabWe're Only in It for the Money- preferably withLumpy GravyandUncle Meatas well - instead: that remains a great trilogy and a crucial piece of work.
