 Topic: Zappa - (') or Over-Nite Sensation
Posted: November 04 2009 at 12:56 |

I vote for Apostrophe, although this was hard to do! Zomby Woof is one of my all time FZ faves, and come on, Montana? Life altering. However, the interlude in St. Alphonzo's is one of the greatest things ever.

Over Nite easily. Apostrophe is good, but it seems like it was bashed out in about two days. Over Nite feels more composed. And the songs are better.

Over nite is strong all the way through. Apostrophe has 1 or 2 weaker tunes and the album only goes for 30 minutes hehe

I first heard them combined, and that is the way I like to hear them still.

Apostrophe. The only song I don't care for is the title track, which gets a little tedious for me. OS is solid all the way through but doesn't have the highs that Apostrophe has.

Over-nite by a somewhat thin margin. The cover art is spectacular and it has Ponty. Slime still applies to TV these days so has a certain eternalness to it. Then again, I guess so does Stink-foot, I suppose.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Apostrophe for me (though they both feel as one, like the two albums really need to be heard together). Interesting to read so many say that they've chosen Over-Nite because it seems more consistent to them, when, for me, it's the other way around. I love both albums but Apostrophe has always felt like one of FZ's most consistent works. Funny that.

Tough one. I went for Over-Nite Sensation, since with that album FZ was finally back! So Over-Nite's the better album for me, but Side 1 of Apostrophe(') is a thing of beauty itself.

Over-nite Sensation for me. Its solid all the way through, while Apostrophe has too many ups and downs.

I'll go with the majority: Over-Nite Sensation sounds better for me, still Apostrophe is great.
