Progressive Rock

For his first album of his own material in ten years, Dweezil Zappa has applied much of what he has learned from performing his dad's music over those years. The result is a record that often sounds a bit Frank Zappa-ish, but with Dweezil's own pop and metal influences thrown into the mix. The opening track, "Funky 15," sounds the most like the elder Zappa's music, with its angular instrumental texture and irregular rhythms. Speaking of Father Zappa, the track "Dragon Master," a send-up of heavy metal, is the only song Dweezil and Frank ever wrote together; its over-the-top heavy metal screams and shredding guitar, not to mention the stereotypical metal lyrics ("Satan is the dragon master, bringer of untold disaster!!"), make it an entertaining collaboration.

Even though Dweezil is not nearly as capable singer as he is a guitarist, I found it a refreshing change to hear his singing voice handling most of the vocal duties on the record. (On past albums, he has often relied on brother Ahmet to handle much of the singing, and just stuck with the guitar for the most part.) It works pretty well on most of the music (the afore-mentioned "Dragon Master" is a notable exception). He also employs a talented trio of Aussie ladies ona couple tracks, intentionally reminiscent of Frank's use of Tina Turner and the Ikettes in the 70s. Their work on tracks like "Rat Race" and "Hummin'" lends a nice, jazzy vocal sound to the music.

Some of the more surprising (and fun) tracks are "Malkovich," which features the actor John Malkovich reciting a version of Plato's famous Cave Allegory over Dweezil's atmospheric composition, and the Beatle-esque instrumental "Truth," with its Sgt. Pepper-ish string arrangement and lovely guitar solo.

Overall, Dweezil's Via Zammata is an exciting sharing of a guitarist/composer at the height of his own creativity and ability, that also shows how much he has absorbed from steeping himself in the iconoclastic work of his father's complex and inventive music.
