Album of the Day

Apostrophe ('), by Frank Zappa (1974): I don't have a whole lot to add to the reviews on Ground and Sky, except that this is a much better album than I give it credit for. I wouldn't put it in the top echelon of my favorite Zappa albums, or necessarily recommend it to someone looking to explore Zappa for the first time. But the music is almost uniformly good (sometimes brilliant, actually) and the lyrics, while goofy, don't fall back on too many dick and fart jokes. A pretty tasty half an hour, overall.
