This is the first ZZ Top album I've been excited for in a long time. I generally like Rick Rubin's take on things.

Sorry but I gave up on ZZ Top as a novelty act long ago. The cute fuzzy guitars & super groovy, super hip...stag sets & costumes are a distraction to good music. At this point...they are irrelevant.

everybody's got opinions.
mine is--zz top are freaks.

blues and rock freaks.
weird and totally original in their
debauchery of the ordinary.

i laugh at 'em
i rock out to 'em
i flat out dig 'em

they don't have to relate.
they just do what they do.
take 'em or leave 'em.

all these years---and i still take 'em.
good bad or ugly. they kick some
rock and roll ass.

are they all good? hell no.
but when they're good--nobody touches 'em.

in rock, that is. :^)

Yep. They're who they are, and they do what they do. Just dig it.

When I listen to some new music by a long carrier musician, and if I find it no more exciting, I use to wonder if I would have dig it as a part of its first recordings. If the answer is "yes" I conclude that the reason why I don't like this new one is my weariness and need of change more than its own fault. But I agree that one can desert and contest an artist who repeats endlessly the same work.

This being said, I'm not tired of ZZ Top and I like this song and the video, but I'm almost sure not to buy any new record because I've more of their albums that I need when I want to listen to some of their boogies.

Irrelevant to what, exactly? The pop charts? If that's what counts as "relevant" in your world, then what's most relevant to you is the likes of Rihanna and Justin Bieber. If that's what passes for relevant, then I will gladly take the "irrelevant" ZZ Top any day, fuzzy guitars and all.

In my world, greasy, groovy rock 'n' roll will always be relevant. If the stage antics get to you that much, then close your eyes.

I'll take the worst ZZ Top over the best Rihanna and Bieber any day. Matter of fact, isn't best Rihanna and Bieber an oxymoron?

You are correct!!!!!

Everybody looks good at the starting line. Get on your mark,get ready but you better keep this in mind. You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun but going the distance is the hard part son. Everybody looks good at the starting line.

Allow me to rephrase. They are as relevant to me as you are.

How about agreeing to disagree instead of jumping at each other's throat ?

One Foot in the Blues was a great idea on paper (a collection of ZZ's blusier tunes), but the finished product was a little uneven due to some oddball selections. I mean, Heaven Hell or Houston? How did that one make the cut? LOL

Oh, and agreed on the first three albums. Their first two albums are my favorites.

I'm not sure what order it is in their discography, but overall I think my favorite is Tres Hombres.

That was the 3rd one. The Classic LP that really put them on the map. BTW, I've always wanted to do this. Go into a Mexican restaurant with some friends and the album, and ask the restaurant make what's in the picture. I did that once, they did, and it only cost $50 for a party of four.

A fine investment sir.

ZZ Top will be releasing a 4 song EP on Itunes on Tuesday, called Texicali, that will give a preview of the upcoming album.

Supposedly, the tune linked below, Consumption, is one of the new tunes.
