While Over-nite Sensation has never been my favorite Zappa album, it has definitely grown on me over the years. First, there's the presence of the fabulous (uncredited) Ikettes on backing vocals throughout the album. (Something about Tina Turner and her cohorts singing stuff like "reety-alrighty he's the Zomby Woof" just tickles my funny bone). Second, there's a nice balance between complex arrangements and greasy guitar solos. And, finally, if you can look past songs like "Dinah-Moe Humm", there's some fine lyrics, from the trenchant commentary of "I'm the Slime" to the plaintive--dare I say, sincere?--musings of "Montana". It's not the first album I'd recommend to a Zappa newbie, but I think it does deserve a place in anyone's collection.
