5 stars We're Only in It for the Money is an incredibly satirical album. Zappa's paranoid perspective of the social scene is vicious and hilarious here. The production and melodic strength here is the real interesting factor of this album. The studio work here is amazing, effects and oddball breaks are amazingly cool for this time, and are still fresh to listen to to this day, Zappa's command over a studio is truly legendary. Complexity and guitar solos are not in effect much in this album a matter of fact there are no guitar solos. Zappa's message is most important here, and his composition is not forgotten either, songs like Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance and Harry, You're a Beast are very popular Zappa compositions. This is the Mothers' peak of sneering social protest and oddball lifestyles. As far as all this it's amazing, it made the Rolling Stones' Top 100 Albums of All Time! As far as artsy jam complexity freakout jamming like we expect from Frank look elsewhere. 9.3/10
