by Frank Zappa

Them or Us cover art

Characterized by its wildly eclectic sequencing, 'Them or Us' blends virtuosic guitar solos, satirical vocal tracks, and elaborate progressive arrangements. It features notable guest appearances, including guitar work from Steve Vai and Dweezil Zappa, alongside a bluesy interpretation of an Allman Brothers standard. The project serves as a showcase of Zappa's cynical worldview and rigorous compositional demands during the mid-80s.
