THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION: WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY

A brilliant and insane observation of the "culture" that evolved around the hippie lifestyle. This is in my opinion one of Zappa's finest albums, and one of his most outrageous and hilarious satirical peices. The album is made up 19 shorter tracks, so it goes without saying that it is an album that is meant to be listened to as a whole. The music on this album is all over the place, and does feature the "cut and paste" style of alot of Zappa's earlier work. This will surely be a difficult album to digest for the Zappa novice - definitely not a good place to start if you are interested in Zappa. But once you are ready - this is a real treat. Biting and intelligent (not to mention hilarious) commentary on the hippie movement, all backed by the very style of music the hippie movement so much enjoyed. An absolute masterpeice! - 5/5
