Zappa. Frank - The Man From Utopia (1983)

The 25th album from this artist from USA.

Frank Zappa did the vocals, drum machine, guitars and synths.

He had help from an army of guests who provided drums, percussion, bass, woodwinds, guitars, strings, keyboards, mandolin and backing vocals.

Frank Zappa was now at the end of his life and career. His output of new studio albums had ended long time ago and what remains is albums with old songs in new sound and configurations.

This forty minutes long album is a compilation of weirdo, sarcastic and hateful observations of his surroundings and the world at large delivered as some comedy songs.

The first song Cocaine Decisions is a pretty good song and raises the hope for this album.

Hope quashed on the next songs. 

The remaining nine songs are somewhere between poor and decent.

This album is not among his finest albums.

1.5 points
