![]() The style of these tunes is very accessible sound, featuring very straightforward song numbers but with a few touches of Zappa's typical challenging moments and unusual instrumental arrangements. The songs I like the most also so happen to be circling around other themes than those of immature sex jokes and/or social commentary, which in this case are only Fifty-Fifty and Montana. These are really the only moments where Zappa lets the music do the talking without having to rely on shocking imagery to satisfy the audience. Over-Nite Sensation is probably one of the easiest albums to get into but that doesn't mean that you'll get a fair representation of what this artist was capable of. Even as an introduction album you'll probably be better off listening to Chunga's Revenge or any of the early The Mothers of Invention albums. As for this release, it's good, but I'd hesitate calling it essential. ***** star songs: Fifty-Fifty (6:09) **** star songs: Camarillo Brillo (3:59) I'm The Slime (3:35) Dirty Love (2:59) Montana (6:35) *** star songs: Zomby Woof (5:11) Dinah-Moe Humm (6:02)
