After 5 years of absence from releasing albums, ZZ Top brought us this spectacular collection of ten great songs. Here's the details on them: CONCRETE AND STEEL--A great song to start the album off with. It gives a very good impression of what is to come on the rest of the tracks. Featuring lyrics by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill. LOVETHING--Even better than CONCRETE AND STEEL. Some perfectly-chosen guitar riffs in between the lyrics of the chorus, plus a very good tune in addition. Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill. PENTHOUSE EYES--This song doesn't quite live up to the previous two. It's a good song, just the music behind the singing is a bit dull. The singing that covers it up doesn't do much to make it more exciting either. Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard. TELL IT--This song is along the same lines as PENTHOUSE EYES. It's just not as exciting as LOVETHING or CONCRETE AND STEEL. The slow, unanimated singing just isn't quite what began the album. Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill. MY HEAD'S IN MISSISSIPPI--This is the deepest we've heard Billy Gibbons's voice as since 1981, in TUBE SNAKE BOOGIE. Anyway, this is somewhat of a bluesy-rock update of 1973's LA GRANGE, sung by Frank Beard. It's a very good song, but nothing similar to what we've heard on the album yet in any way. Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons. DECISION OR COLLISION--Finally another song with a rock sound similar to that of the rest of the album's that actually has fast, animated singing and music! Though this isn't quite as good as the first two songs, at least it has the exuberant sound that we started out with! Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill. GIVE IT UP--This is a rather different type of music than the rest as well, but it's just about as good as LOVETHING. In fact, it might even be better. Great tune, clever lyrics. Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill. 2000 BLUES--Talk about too slow. This song is meant as a sad one and well accomplishes being so. Way too well. It comes out sounding depressed rather than saddened. It's just WAY too slow and saddened. Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons. BURGER MAN--A very good song, about as good as CONCRETE AND STEEL. Some very interesting lyrics, probably written as a joke. Who knows? Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill. DOUBLEBACK--The saved it for last: the absoloute best song on the album. Fantastic rock and roll, fabulous chorus, pretty much everything about it is great. One song that just can't be beat. Featuring vocals by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill. |
