THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION: BURNT WEENY SANDWICH

(Considering this an album by THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION and not a FRANK ZAPPA album)

This is like a purified version of "Uncle Meat". In February 1970, THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION released their sixth studio album "Burnt weeny sandwich", this album took the Avant-Garde sound of "Uncle Meat" but took away all the filler stuff and focused on the well-played, rehearsed, and mature music. While the first song of the album is a cover/parody version of THE FOUR DEUCES' song "WPLJ" and it brought back the weird comedy that THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION was talented for (the song ends with Roy ESTRADA's pachuco-Spanish talking that is absolutely hilarious), the rest of the album is absolutely Avant-Garde instrumental music with the exception of the ballad "Vallery" at the end.

As I said before: this is a purified version of "Uncle Meat", since it has the same kind of music but it doesn't get lost with a lot of filler songs and that makes this record a much more accessible one. This album proves that THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION were capable of being a serious band and they were filled with a talent to give to the world.

SONG RATING: WPLJ, 4 Igor's Boogie, phase one, 4 Overture to a holiday in Berlin, 5 Theme from Burnt weeny sandwich, 5 Igor's Boogie, phase two, 4 Holiday in Berlin, full-blown, 5 Aybe sea, 5 The little house I used to live in, 5 Valerie, 4
