High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! You Are What You Is is a double album by Frank Zappa. It was originally released as a two-record set in 1981 and later by Rykodisc as a 20-song CD. The album relies on a heavy use of overdubbing. This album was the first one to feature material recorded using Zappa`s home studio Utility Muffin Research Kitchen. Much like a concept album, some of the tracks are bound together, although the album lacks an overall storyline.
