Editorial Reviews

From the Label

FZ's version of a basic stripped-down rock record; uncomplicated and completely compelling. Alongside sharp satirical tracks like "Disco Boy" and "Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station" (which launched the onstage chant "Show me your thumb if you're really dumb") come between-the-eyes instrumentals like "Black Napkins," "Friendly Little Finger" and the title track. This disc is also the home of "The Torture Never Stops," a doomsaying blues unlike anything else in the Zappa catalogue.

Zappa is so extremely effective.

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2003

Zappa's catalog is perhaps the greatest of musical endeavors in the history of mankind, and is 'frankly' superior to all other musical forms, be they by specific human design or deed of God. With "Zoot Allures," Zappa has managed to capture the essence of our unqualified social cozenage and transform it into a corporeal musical theorem, while unmistakably showing his distinct intolerance for society as depicted in shampoo and/or beer commercials.
Briefly, "Zoot Allures," (or indeed, the "Zappa" style of composite musical melodrama as a whole), intermingles a certain anthropological, or indeed societal, pathos with a uniquely parallel unisonant structural design, based on his clearly emblematic and euphonious concepts. Like a piquant peanut butter and jelly sandwich --with extra jelly-- for the ear, the listener's (that's YOU) personal audile delectation effect, (due entirely to Zappa's complex incorporation of whimsical lyrical elements), is further compounded when taking into account the sophisticated musicology itself. Without going into all of the philosophical or technical minutiae, the product, (disc: Zoot Allures), with its facetious consonant style, actually adds performance superfluity to what would customarily have been considered an auditory raillery limit. With respect to these specific music/humor objectives, Zappa has once again performed absolutely admirably. Bravo Frank!

A friend of mine was a roadie doing lighting for Frank when this album was being put together and was then issued... He came back from a tour with a casette tape of long versions of some of the pieces... It has always been one of my favorite Zappa albums (along with Overnight Sensation, One Size Fits All and Hot Rats).

I'll probably wind up working in a gas station and eating dinner with black napkins....running into the disco boy...

Great guitar centered Zappa album. Also interesting to hear him use synths and drum machines. A must have.

If your a Zappa fan of any degree or variety, and do not have this remaster, you need it. It is a huge improvement.

If you are not really a fan, but enjoy heavier music, boy is this for you. It sizzles and humms like a ufo cooking cows with a laser beam.

Zappa for the new fans! This is a smoooooooth one. GET IT!

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2010

So I've been jamming to Zappa for only a few years now. It's safe to say that I'm relativly new to the Zappa World. I really dig this album. This album is a bit more TAME then some of his other bizzare recordings.

If you want to mellow down and get dirty...this is a good album for you. It has a couple of live tracks that capture Zappa at his magic moments. The emotion that melts and cuts through his solos is moving. Very dark and goovin' this album is, I would say. And TERRY BOZZIO does killer job on the skins.

This album is easy on the ears and fat with coolness. The TORTURE NEVER STOPS is one of my favorites along with Black Napkins. ENJOY!!!
