Free Music Review: Power of Fuzz
Hit: 5 Stars
i confirm all the positive reviews about this record, this record has indelible qualities for it ; this is a hint of the future of music, and a real foray into the future, not like those pseudo-innovators who invented in fact nothing, this album sounds like nothing which has been done before; for completing its advantages there is a bunch a standout tracks, lousy, distorted fuzz guitar which at times sounds almost like a synthesizer (a kind of sound that you can hear at the end of a Hendrix's song on 'Electric Ladyland' called 'Gypsy's eyes); there is two excellent tracks: 'Pop Chop Sandwich' and 'Sinpusher' (a re-writing of 'Pincushion', Billy Gibbons thought that this live version was an improvement over the studio track released on 'Antenna'); for me this two songs are classics; 'Beatbox' (it begins like an electronica thing before turning into a superb guitar solo), 'Crucifixx-A-Flat' (very bizarre track, i would describe it as a cross between rap and ZZ sound), 'Dreadmonboogaloo' (experimental dance tune, ZZ here experiments with sampling) and 'Made into a movie' (slow blues, a little bit repetitive though but with a nice guitar) are also good tracks; the guitar tone and playing is superb and the drums of F. Beard are a true improvement over the previous releases (especially compared to the MTV eighties stuff), his playing is more subtle and slightly funky; in short, one of the best rock albums of the post-Hendrix's era, this is indispensable for someone who have a good ear.
XXX Poster
The title suggests good beer and unwholesome entertainment, copious amounts of which have accompanied ZZ Top's music for the past 30 years. A decade--or two--removed from their arena-rock prime and cartoonish MTV reincarnation, ZZ Top's music has mellowed like a case of three-dollar rotgut, which is how the blues should age. Pared down, raw, and rough-edged, the Gibbons, Beard, and Hill of XXX's eight studio cuts sound increasingly like their grizzled Texas, Delta, and Southside blues heroes. The beats are tricked-up funky, Gibbons's growl and guitar are lugubrious, and the trio overall is lusty and unafraid to slow the tempo to a dirty dirge. Coupled with the band's loopy sense of subject matter and style--which ranges here from automotive theology ("Crucifixx-A-Flatt") to more prosaic concerns of boogie and t&a--are four live cuts that are often just as quirky, from Dusty Hill's slick lampoon croon of Elvis's "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" to a rave-up version of "Hey Mr. Millionaire" that features another inspired bit of ZZ goofiness--having guitar-god Jeff Beck guest . . . on vocals! --Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
