Review of The Mothers of Invention: Freak Out

Review of The Mothers of Invention: Freak Out

If you don’t know who Frank Zappa is, it is definitely worth learning as he has contributed much to music, namely the alternative or psychedelic music scene. The Mothers of Invention was Frank Zappa’s first band and this album is considered  very influential. Sonic Collective member Darren Scott thought he would introduce Zappa and his band to the group and we had no idea what we were in for.

This album, released in 1966 was definitely a statement. You really have to listen to what we found out about this weird journey as it will help you understand the album… we think.
