Zappa had been around for quite a while by 1973 with somewhat limited success commercially, but that would all change with the "Overnight Sensation" album.  This would be Zappa's first album to go gold in the U.S. and would actually get some airplay on more progressive oriented radio stations here.  To many longtime Zappa fans this album was a bit of a commercial sell out, while at the same time it opened up Frank's music to a whole new set of fans.  I have mixed feelings about this album, some of it is brilliant and some I find a bit annoying.  "I Am The Slime", "Dirty Love", "Dinah Moe Hum" and "Montana" are all prime Zappa satire.  On the other hand songs like "50/50" and "Zomby Woof" grate on my ears every time I listen to them.  In the end I give this one 3.5 to 4 stars.
