SCHOOLS SHOULD ISSUE THIS TO THIRTEEN YEAR OLDS...
Some may pan this album for being too commercial, but to make a statement like that would only prove in the long run, that you must not get it. I first heard this album when I was around thirteen, and instantly became hooked on asking girls how to make their Dinah-Mo Hum. Zappa fills in the blanks with some of his most immature lyrics, but thats only to round out the over all concept, which plays fun on the pop culture that its selling itself to.

He writes tunes that sound like what was popular at the time. . . CARAMILLO BRILLO has sort of a seventies california folk rock feel to it. I'M THE SLIME has a disco vibe happening.

Zappa stays true to Zappa but isn't so weird that a large percent of the poulation don't connect. In a way he opens the doors to many peoples weirder sides. Take a skewed look around. It makes this a good album for thirteen year olds who like to play with peoples nerves here and there. Freak some people out, you know? Also, theres mostly straight ahead tunes here that are easy to understand without much thought. They are a little bit filthy though so you might not want to let your moms catch you listening to it. If she catches you and gets mad, just ask her where her Dinah Mo is coming from? This is stuff you need to know. .


it's a classic
That means, even though your first opinion upon listening to any one of his albums (except Hot Rats) is that he's deliberately singing in a goofy style, his ability to put a song together creativey and make it sound like something *no one* else could possibly create makes him an original genius. Frank Zappa has a talent for creative goofiness. It really does.

Over-Nite Sensation captures every aspect of Frank Zappa's creative and silly side perfectly. Could it be the ultimate Frank Zappa album? Well, I choose Hot Rats as the mans BEST album, but Over-Nite Sensation isn't far behind. This album, unlike Hot Rats, has vocals, and silly lyrics about going to Montana, dental floss, um. . . girls doing naughty things, and more!

Meanwhile, his FLAT OUT AWESOME guitar soloing skills are implemented into the songwriting, and other unpredictable things such as female vocals in the background.

It's just a really great album, though a very short one. I highly recommend this album. You might not like it, I admit, because he really dips into his goofy side here, but he also backs up his silly ways with great songwriting and a creative touch unlike anyone else. .


I love FZ!
I have wanted this on disc for many years, I think its great that it is still available.


zappa in top form.
rock,jazz,avant-gard all in one album. zappa at his peak.
i was a teen when this came out,unlike me,this music never gets old.


Frank Zappa - Moving To Montana
This would be Zappa's first album to go gold in the U. Zappa had been around for quite a while by 1973 with somewhat limited success commercially, but that would all change with the "Overnight Sensation" album. S. and would actually get some airplay on more progressive oriented radio stations here. To many longtime Zappa fans this album was a bit of a commercial sell out, while at the same time it opened up Frank's music to a whole new set of fans. I have mixed feelings about this album, some of it is brilliant and some I find a bit annoying. "I Am The Slime", "Dirty Love", "Dinah Moe Hum" and "Montana" are all prime Zappa satire. On the other hand songs like "50/50" and "Zomby Woof" grate on my ears every time I listen to them. In the end I give this one 3. 5 to 4 stars.
