4 stars You know, one thing you can never really have enough of is the music of Frank ZAPPA ...of course he is an acquired taste. "Over-nite Sensation" marks Frank's 7th official recording, and followed his classic album "Hot Rats". "Over-nite" is a wonderful album with some incredible instrumentation and complex song writing. Time signatures and moods are chopped up throughout working in vintage ZAPPA style. Jean Luc PONTY adds his distinctive violin aspects to the music while the "Mothers" fill in the rest and of yes of course loads of ZAPPA's crazed lyrics and excellent screaming guitar solos. This album really marked for Frank his first in a series of rock-jazz-horn-reed based albums and really helped set the stage for his later released. A great album!
