Zappa. Frank - We're Only in It for the Money (1968)

The fourth album from this artist from USA.

Frank Zappa did the lead vocals, piano and guitar. His band, The Mother Of Invention did the drums, bass, woodwinds, piano and vocals.

I am on the fourth album in my quest to review all the Frank Zappa studio albums this year. I will probably finish the task/challenge next year. 

His first three albums has not given us much music. We have got a lot of (probably) drug induced ideas on these three albums and I have not been impressed. Not impressed at all.

This album is most known for the original proposed album art-work. It was a parody on The Beatles Sgt Peppers album art work. Legal proceedings followed and that art work were relegated to the inner sleeve. What you see above is the replacement art-work.

The music on this forty minutes long album is naive, childlike ditties which I guess was written and produced under the influence of some illegal drugs. Songs that may sound great under the influence.

The songs are not overly bad. They are actually pretty decent and Frank Zappa proves that he knew what he was doing.

This is not a good album by any means. It is still an improvement and a decent album.
