Album Notes & Community Reviews

ZZ Top revitalized their gritty, blues-based southern rock by seamlessly integrating prominent synthesizers and pulsing, mechanical drum machines. 'Eliminator' is a highly rhythmic, sexually charged boogie-rock behemoth that transformed the Texas trio into MTV superstars and remains a playful, uplifting cornerstone of 80s pop culture.
