Our Take

Frank Zappa's "You Are What You Is" is a zany, off-the-wall masterpiece that showcases the artist's undeniable talent and wit. From start to finish, Zappa takes listeners on a wild musical journey through a variety of genres, all while maintaining his signature irreverent sense of humor.

The album kicks off with the title track, a biting satire on consumer culture that sets the tone for what's to come. Zappa's virtuosic guitar playing is on full display throughout, with intricate solos and complex arrangements that never fail to impress.

Tracks like "Dumb All Over" and "Heavenly Bank Account" see Zappa tackling big issues with his trademark blend of wit and sarcasm, while songs like "Society Pages" and "I'm a Beautiful Guy" offer a more lighthearted take on relationships and social norms.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the epic "Drowning Witch," which features a jaw-dropping guitar solo that is sure to leave listeners in awe. Zappa's band, including the legendary Steve Vai on guitar, is in top form throughout, effortlessly navigating the album's intricate compositions.

Overall, "You Are What You Is" is a must-listen for any fan of Zappa or anyone looking for a truly unique musical experience. With its combination of humour, virtuosity, and social commentary, this album cements Zappa's status as a true musical genius.
