Just plain old good fun. No track on here was skippable, it was just damn good guitar right after another.

yeah it's ZZ Top; what else do you want? La Grange!

Blues guitar

Chilliger 70s Rock, 3.5 Sterne, tu mich schwer mit entscheiden, aber vermutlich 3 Sterne

You just can't argue with that nasty riff on La Grange. It just DEMANDS to be turned up to the point of hearing damage.

I'm always amazed at how much sound a good three piece band can put out

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I liked this more than Eliminator; maybe I was just in the mood for some blues rock today. La Grange is solid, I also liked Master of Sparks a lot. Sneaks into a four, I think

This is just fun. A few great grooves, and just go.

Phenomenal blues rock album for #1,001!! Hell yes!!

Favorite songs: La Grange, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Waitin' for the Bus, Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers, Master of Sparks, Precious and Grace, Sheik, Have You Heard?

Least favorite songs: "Hot, Blue and Righteous"

5/5

The bonus live tracks were more enjoyable to me than a lot of what was on the main album. La Grange is an all time classic and used to be my favorite song when I just got into classic rock. I never felt the rest of the album was as strong though. The rest of the songs aren't as hard, aren't as memorable and don't have the same atmosphere to them. It's still a nice listen but it doesn't really warrant revisiting often.

45 minutes of hard driving Blues infused Texas rock that never overstays its welcome, good to great as this genre would be added on to by others, but you can't dispute its groove.

Hell yeah bruddas

Good album, one true hit song.

I struggle to summon a huge about of energy for ZZ Top, either positive or negative. Its bluesy, southern rock which is a genre mismatch for me, though I do find it perfectly listenable.

good Album. of course La Grange is the best song

I enjoyed this much more than Eliminator, some great songs on here. None of them come close to La Grange though, that one is perfection. I found it a bit repetitive after a while though, not one I'd come back to.

Blues funk hard rock soul and whatever LaGrange is. The best ZZTop album! Billy Gibbons has few peers.

El hombre de en medio en la portada parece que se esté follando el palo.

Canción destacada: La Grange

This has to be the only album on the list by ZZ Top, right? I mean you've heard one of their albums, you've heard them all. Hell, you've heard one of their songs, you've hear them all. I saw them live years ago and Billy Gibbons was talking about being old and people coming to see "the same three guys, playing the same three chords".
ZZ Top is definitely dad rock and sort of cheesy. But damn can Billy play guitar. I mean it's not super complicated but really great nonetheless. Their songs are simple, catchy, usually have good grooves, and (even they'd tell you) largely the same. It's fun to listen to if it comes on but I'd never really pick ZZ Top on purpose or buy any of their records. 3/5

Couple great songs. Couple decent songs. A few meh songs. It’s essentially just blues, I’m not sure why this is considered rock. Maybe the beards? I don’t know, it was fine.
