Zappa. Frank - Them Or Us (1984)

The 27th album from this artist from USA.

Frank Zappa did guitars and vocals himself.

He had help from numerous guests who provided drums, percussion, bass, guitars, woodwinds, piano, minimoog, keyboards and vocals.

Frank Zappa had stopped writing and recording new material long time ago. What remained was albums with rehashed material.

This seventy minutes long album serves up a wide variety ranging from bebop, doowop, pop, guitar solos and some jazz.

Some of the old songs has been rearranged and reworked. Some of the material has poor sound. 

The result is a barely decent album which has some whiffs of rip-off. Albums like this is not good for his reputation.
