It's only one song, and a minor one at that. Easy for me to overlook if
I'm not in the mood.
Some of Zappa's political/social commentary has always been relevant
("More Trouble Every Day"). Some may have lost some relevance. but it's
coming back to mean a lot again ("Mom & Dad" and big chunks of "We're
Only in It for the Money").

Is it? What's being retreaded? I don't really hear it that way.
In any case, I don't insist that everything I listen to is newly
treaded. And this album flows nicely as a whole, even with the lesser
songs. I dig it.
