"Roxy" rocks

Review Score: (8/10)
This is a fun album. It showcases so much of what people love about FZ. Fun songs, a tight band, Frank's solos, and comedy. "Cheepnis" is hysterical (even with tons of overdubs), the back to back fusion based intrumentals of "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing"& "Echidna's Arf" is a brilliant combination of jazz, rock, and brilliant solos. Also featured is a great slow funky version of "Trouble Every Day". The only major drawback is a clunky track of "Bee-Bop Tango" which goes far too long and includes a dance contest which doesn't translate to audio at all. Still, despite this flaw at the end, an album that will enchant you and might even make you laugh.
