5.0 out of 5 stars FRANK ZAPPA'S MOST UNDERRATED ALBUM!, Oct 27 2002
By 
William Caputo (Scranton, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chunga's Revenge (Audio CD)
chunga's revenge is, by far, fz's most underrated album. many consider it just an average album from his early years but that's as far from the truth as one can get. it's only 40 minutes long. a very quick and easy listen that should be played over and over again. the album's highlights are the hard-rocking song "tell me you love me" and the commercially potential "sharleena" (there is a slower and smoother 11 minute version of sharleena on the lost episodes cd. many people consider that version superior. i don't. the 4 minute version here is the best.), "twenty small cigars" (a tune reminiscent to "little umbrellas" from "hot rats" ; it can easily be called "son of little umbrellas"). there's a gothic instrumental "transylvania boogie" that makes you feel like you're face-to-face with count dracula himself. a sex-oriented pop tune "would you go all the way?" asks the question to a naive female u.s.o. dancer. there's the union-bashing "rudy wants to buy yez a drink"...the definitive song to depict the attitudes and activities of union big shots nationwide. the instrumental head-banging "chunga's revenge" is a cross between hard-rock and international music from far away places. the album really has to be heard to be believed. one of the top 5 zappa albums ever! essential! don't listen to the others...what you've heard about chunga's revenge is wrong! it's great!

4.0 out of 5 stars I like it, Mar 6 2004

I like the way that "Transylvania Boogie" changes from one beat to another without skipping a beat. Not sure of the musical term for that but I'm sure there is one. You have to hear it to understand. Very cool.

IMO this isn't the best Zappa album in my collection, but it's good and I enjoy listening to it. My favorite still is "One Size Fits All" and "Roxy and Elsewhere" , maybe because those were basically my first exposure to Zappa. Wow, thirty years ago... The music has really held up over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, Dec 30 2003
By 
Eric Thompson (River Falls, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Chunga's Revenge (Audio CD)
While this is not a particularly good FRANK ZAPPA album, it is still a very good album overall. I love Ian Underwood's solo in the title track, and then the music builds up for Frank's guitar solo. Also, "Rudy Wants to Buy Yez a Drink" is one of my all-time favorite Zappa songs. Catchy and beautiful.
