Album is so much better when you actually enjoy ‘60s pop
Zappa?
This little gem is my 2 min heroin dose of the week

I re-listened to Freak Out!
Still in his top 3 of every album he made
Perfect balance of everything

Have had phases here and there since is was 18 where I thought it was goat but his humour ran its course for me
I'll give it a revisit

Freak Out is very earnest compared to what you’re talking about

There's definitely still some over the top joke songs
Part of the problem is the mediocrity of Zappas voice, he should've just formed a band with Beefheart and let him sing everything
nope only Jane Doe and a few other songs here and there.
you would dig You Fail Me broski
rise's lower cases only style of list submission hurts me deeply, but not as much as elric's abbreviation filled list submission

no over the top jokery songs on freak out for me
first lp is pretty much all great and i like the experimental ones of the 2nd lp that might annoy some
a lot of the times he didnt sing anyway and let someone else
much of freak out is ray collins on lead vocals
Any Way the Wind Blows one of the best melodies of all time even if it was done cynically
in her blood
F*** yea
that's one of my fav songs from that joint.
When the bass gets that groove going
in her blood
It flows so perfectly into Hanging Moon, when dude starts playing the bells and bongos

It's a jam but
This version goes harder

Wow Zowie
regal
The way he s*** on hippies in the Sgt. Pepper parody though
classic lines all over the album.
seriously, there are so many gems here.
"I will love everyone,
I will love the police as they kick the s*** out of me on the streets,
I will go to a house,
I will join a rock'n' roll band
because all the groups live together"
flower power sucks
or just the entirety of Absolutely Free and What's the ugliest part of your body?
zappa was a right-leaning libertarian but his satire there is so poignant. Later on he would write some mindless stuff and fart jokes but that album is a masterpiece of satire.
