Editorial Review:
One of his most popular and infamous albums, Sheik Yerbouti finds Frank Zappa unleashing his unique brand of sociological documentation on the disco-injected culture of the late '70s. From crises of sexual identity to the rhythmically challenged, the songs are hilarious and occasionally close to home (The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith didn't care much for "Jewish Princess"). The satire is some of Zappa's most scathing and unsympathetic, and the music is equally loud and unrelenting--especially when showcasing the talents of sidemen Terry Bozzio and Adrian Belew. A must-have in any Zappa collection. --Andrew Boscardin

Rating:  - UGH...not the brightest moment in a career
I dunno, boys and girls.
Dont get me wrong. I truly think Zappa is one of America's most overlooked musical geniuses. Screw the Beatles. He has been a beacon in a musical wasteland of overly produced, commericalized, imitative pop gunk that has poisoned us for years. I was glad to see him live and to own his recordings.
But for us true Zappa fans, (the ones who own a copy of Absolutely Free)this is kinda crappy. Frank resorts to dated high schoolyard humor, the music became ... Read More
Rating:  - Come Back, Frank al Zappa!!
I'm going to start with a confession: I used to think that Frank Zappa was an untalented clown with nothing to offer aside from childish, scatalogical novelty tunes. And then I listened to 'Sheik Yerbouti'. I have never been so wrong about an artist in my life. I'm sorry, Frank--it took me a long time to figure it out!
This man was a musical genius! Other reveiwers, more conversant with the mechanics of music than I, have mentioned the experimental nature of 'Rubber Shirt', a 4/4 bass ... Read More
Rating: - UNO DE LOS POCOS DISCOS QUE DIGNIFICO LA PODRIDA DECADA DE LOS OCHENTA!!!!!
Y TENIA QUE SER ZAPPA..OBRA TREMENDA, GRACIOSA, DESPREJUICIADA, LLEVANDO LOS LIMITES ETNICOS, RITMICOS Y ETICOS HASTA DONDE SE QUIEBRAN....NO PODES DEJAR DE DISFRUTARLO! MUY RECOMENDABLE
Rating: - One of Zappa's top five, and with him, that means a lot...
This is probably my favorite Zappa album. I play it constantly (despite having almost all of his catalog). I love every song here. There isn't one I skip over. I Have Been in You is hilarious, even if you have no idea who Peter Frampton is (he had an album called I'm In You around the late 70's). Flakes is especially timely (about idiotic Americans and their shopping habits). Broken Hearts is hilarious. Bobby Brown is stunningly funny. Rat Tomago and Rubber Shirt (which never actually happened...consult ... Read More
