4/5

Zappa’s best in my opinion - love it. Willie the pimp is an absolute tour de force. So glad this came up yesterday!

War

3/5

Sunday bloody sunday is a generational bop obviously but the rest of the tunes on this are banging (though don't have the same impact as SBS for me and I can't name any of them as I type this). Defo worth a re-listen for me and will be on rotation in the next few weeks.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

This was class. Obviously adore free bird but lots of great tunes on this record as well. Nothing that made my jaw drop though. if I could give 3.5 I would
