''You Are What You Is'' is a 1981 double album by American musician Frank Zappa. His 34th album, it consists of three musical suites which encompass pop, doo-wop, jazz, hard rock, reggae, soul, blues, new wave and country. The album's lyrics satirize a number of topics, including hippies, socialites, fashion, narcotics use, cultural appropriation, religion, televangelists and the military draft. Production After the release of ''Joe's Garage'', Frank Zappa set up his home studio, the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, and planned to release a triple LP live album called ''Warts and All''. As ''Warts and All'' reached completion, Zappa found the project to be "unwieldy" due to its length, and scrapped it, later conceiving ''Crush All Boxes''. ''Crush All Boxes'' would have been a single LP containing the studio recordings "Doreen", "Fine Girl", "Easy Meat" (a live recording with studio overdubs) and "Goblin Girl" on the first side, with the second side being occupied by a suite c ...

Critical reception *Stewart Mason, AllMusic: "Following the somewhat shaky '' McIntyre, Treadmore & Davitt'', ''This Leaden Pall'' is a much more self-assured transition into the new era of Half Man Half Biscuit." *Johnny Cigarettes, ''NME'': "Nigel Crossley 'sic''s reputation as the only rival to Vic Reeves in making cultural ephemera unfeasibly funny remains untarnished." *Andrew Harrison, '' Select'': " '93 the Half Men remain gloriously morose and cruelly observant."
