classic rock isn’t really my type but not bad
pretty generic blues
Such a unique voice !! Fav song is ‘La Grange’.
very forgettable tbh. "la grange" is alright though. 1/5
Nič výnimočné...
Annoying voice. Only one good song
ZZ Top are one of my least favorite rock bands of all time. I can’t fault anyone for enjoying them, because there’s nothing truly *wrong* with them. I just find everything about their music and aesthetic to be totally lame and insufferable. Maybe that just makes me lame and insufferable, who knows? Uh huh huh huh huh.
Simultaneously terrible and 10 times better than the last ZZ Top album we had
I have no words to express my contempt and disinterest in ZZ Top, although having said that the bearded wonders have produced the two biggest surprises of my 1001 listening journey so far. The first was the unexpected lo-fi type quality to the vocals and guitar towards the end of the otherwise unspeakable and misogynistic “Legs” and the other was this LP, which turned out not to be the very very worst of the duplicates we’ve had to endure so far, proving itself to somehow be more listenable than the recent Led Zep one… FFS. One of the all time least deserved stars of all time. Tom.
Boring
Meh
couldn't get thru it Listened to 6 tracks and quit.sorry
I saw ZZ Top at Ashley for the Arts last year, but I am not a fan. It’s not my style of music and I don’t like the singer’s voice. I knew La Grange, but I don’t like the song.
not a fan
No me llama la atención.
Impressive beards playing not so impressive tracks.
So repetitive. Lyrics felt like an afterthought attached to a bunch of guitar jamming.
there's few good songs. whole album is veryyy boring
I don't like ZZ Top. Never really have. I became their biggest foe when I popped my molly a bit too early at Bonnaroo 2013 waiting for Animal Collective and started rolling hard during ZZ Top's set. I learned that day that a ZZ Top show is the worst place to do Molly. I digress though. It's not about that, it's about how I've never enjoyed their bare bones Southern rock. It can be catchy, it can be smooth, but it's underwhelming.
not for me
THIS is why recording studios have locks on the doors. I can only assume this record’s inclusion is some kind of administrative error. Who do we tell?
ZZ down
It was fine, I got through about 5 songs but it all started to sound the same to me.
Mmm no me gusta mucho el rock para padres divorciados
I thought I might enjoy this, however I didn’t…….
Didn’t get to listen to it maybe next time
Hmmm not for me
19. waiting for it to be over
Ned wörkli mis, zu vell nor instrument, egitarre. Zu alt
Somehow not mine. Dudes Music.
VV Shit
Middle of the road bluesy rock. Or maybe it's decent for that style - it's just not my jam.
Not for me
We're here for La Grange and La Grange only
0’5
Yawn.
Meh
it’s like they heard 1 blues song and went, “I could do that”
Еще не дослушал, но альбом вообще не зашел, пока какашка
uuuuu
No!
Nope!
not my cup of tea 👍🏻
Nah
One song I liked
Les riffs de guitare répétitifs et interminables donnent l’impression qu’on reste toujours dans la même chanson. Il n’y a pas beaucoup de variation dans les patrons musicaux. Je ne suis pas très blues en partant, mais ce type de blues avec solo de guitare électrique assez banals et cette voix texane ne m’a vraiment pas conquis. Comme point positif, malgré que j’aie écouté cela en me levant le matin à 6h30, ça s’écoutait bien. Je n’ai jamais écouté du ZZ Top et j’avais des a priori plutôt négatifs. On dit dans le résumé de l’album que ZZ Top est « l’un des meilleurs groupes américains en concert »; j’avoue que les 3 versions live de l’album remastorisé de 2006 sont celles que j’ai le plus aimées. À écouter une fois dans sa vie ? Ok peut-être, mais ce sera la seule fois pour moi.
Meandering nonsense and La Grange. F
👎
Meandering nonsense and La Grange.
What a piece of garbage. How did this make the 1001 list? I've never like them, and this confirms it. The vocals sound constipated, and the instrumentation is generic. I had to end it during the penultimate song.
Not really the kind of music that I like. This bluesy rock is not bad and I know they are pretty popular but I just don't like their style, lyrics, or music. Seems pretty basic and uninspired to me. Would be great to listen to in a small dive bar though.
probably would not ever listen to this album again. not my cup of tea at all.
Sucks
mid
Not a fan of ZZ Top.
I didn't mind the one that started off like Slim Harpo (La Grange) but the rest of it was too pub band for me.
What a bloody awful mess. Three turds.
I found myself surprisingly bored listening to this album.
Dne
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Meh.
I really wish the list that this website is built around would be updated for modern music. It's going to be very annoying to listen to 800 albums from the 70's that I've already heard a dozen times. The occasional unknown work is what keeps me pushing forward though, cause I had never heard of Weather Report before and I absolutely loved that album. So anyway, onto more zz. I question how some of the albums end up in the list. I know that I am not the target audience but if you are going to curate a small-ish list of must listen albums then I expect no space to be wasted; that there isn't a bands full discography, only their best albums. And in this case, it feels like this album could easily be replaced by so many other things.
yeah naw dawg not feeling this at allllll
Mwah niet echt iets waar ik iets mee heb. Beetje mid sorry
Nope
Didn't love it.
I must be missing the memo here. So boring and forgettable
too old
This music sounds like a monkey could play all the instruments. I might even be able.
BOR-ING. It's the same stuff 10 times, and I didn't like it the first time. This is the music your dad plays and says "they don't make music like this anymore." Not proving your case well, Pa.
No offense it is simply soulless to me
I do not like this. Blues without the soul, southern rock without the nuance. I'd give this 1.5 stars for a couple songs on the B side, but overall it's pretty annoying music. The Bottom Line: "Tres Hombres" by ZZ Top is a barbecue you wish you hadn't been invited to.
Oh just not my cup of tea
La Grange was always my least favorite song in Guitar Hero, and a whole album of that is my personal hell. I don’t know if it’s 1-star bad…let’s give it a generous 1.6/5
Every song in this album makes me feel like it’s the start of a movie where the hard-drinking Southern boy with the flag in his truck rear window accidentally kills a man in a drunken fist fight. Maybe it’s the age of the album, maybe it’s all been done to death now. Still no reason to listen to this in 2023. Tracks to check out: Master of Sparks
bullshot
Tänker inte ens skriva nåt. Dum musik
Honestly this was on but I just zoned out entirely
Didn’t listen all the through. Not me.
Omg it’s the Ford commercial song 😭 A lot of this record is giving car/home improvement commercial, but some of these groves are actually pretty good. However, I really don’t want to listen to this haha. Iconic..in a straight way 🤠 Really don’t want to hear this lol
I don’t care much for southern rock. I care even less for jam bands. This is the best and worst of both genres. Ew.
I'm just straight up not enjoying this.
C’est du Blues ben straight. Rien de ben ben exceptionnel, à pars peut-être le son qui se distingue et qui leur est caractéristique. La ballade est pas sentie du tout. Rien de mémorable à part la Grange.
ytterligare ett grönt album! Tyvärr olyssningsbart :( det här är tydligaste exemplet på att högt ansedd musik från förr oftast är det av sentimentala skäl -> eftersom recensenterna lyssnade på det medan de växte upp.
uhmm... ok ? waiting for the bus - no <3 0/10 ok no im gonna stop here, this sounds like utter shit
snore
Boring as fuck
mmm
my favorite zztop
