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.Free Music Review: ZZ Top XXX
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best ZZTop album I have heard. Not a bad song on it. I live in Utah and only hear a few ZZTop tunes on the radio. In my opinion XXX is some of their finer stuff. ZZTop forever!Free Music Review: Tone,Tone and more Tone.
Hit: 5 Stars
Billy is a god of tone. I've listened over and over to this CD (always) with a big smile on my face. No one and I mean no one rocks like ZZ.Free Music Review: Better than Rythmeen
Hit: 5 Stars
Not quite as dirty as Rythmeen. But this album is another true original. The boys' darkest album yet. This one is not as roudy as Rythmeen, but better due to its understated and ominous quality. Another gem from the most underated legends in the music industry.Free Music Review: Worst Studio Album
Hit: 1 Stars
I bought this album when it came out and was incredibly dissapointed. Again, you have to write a set of songs to go along with that great fuzz toned guitar. Plodding, boring and lazy are a few of the words that come to mind when I think of this album. I was a huge fan of Rhythmeen, which seemed like a re-birth of the old Top sound to me. This was a huge step in the wrong direction. So, in my humble opinion if you want a good later day ZZ Top album pick up Rhythmeen or even Mescalaro.
