Review
Unfortunately this album is not another Tres Hombres, ZZ Top have moved quite a bit far from their original dirty blues-rock sound, the influence is still there but all the paraphernalia of the 80's has been added on top of it.
The album is quite a fun one to listen to, however, from the great hit singles to some of the less well known songs, but I don't seriously think this would be anything I would put on for my listening pleasure.
That said, it is not a bad album, just not a really great one. The playing is pretty good, the lyrics are appropriately inane and the beat is extremely solid, but it still sounds more like a novelty album than anything else.
