ZZ - TOP...........turn up the grooves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - By: Carl Michael Fredrick, 13 May 2007 
These songs alone would have made Eliminator one of ZZ Top's three greatest albums,their embrace of Rock-synths & sequencers make this a blockbuster filled with hits & pure Energy.It's still an excellent ZZ Top album,whether Fans or blues purists alike believe it or not,definitely one of their best,thanks in part to their unflaggingly accurate grooves & timing.Then again, that's part of the album's charm,this is new wave blues-rock,looking as good as the omnipresent convertible on the cover,not reallly the sort of old-school album blues-rock purists will love or appreciate,But one heck of a fun groove-licious album to rock your sound system to
THE TOP GO 'POP' AND IT SUCKS! - By: M. Harris, 28 Jun 2006 
This is where ZZtop lost alll credibility with me. Hard to believe that this is the same band that made 'rio grande' or 'tres hombres' the writing was on the walll with the album before but at least it had 'ten foot pole' but this it sucks from beginning to end. Sure it made big bucks but at what price? stuff like 'legs' & 'gimmee alll your lovin'' are so bland & lacking in inspiration that its an insult to southern rock. Sure the girls are great in the video's but that's about it. It's that insipid drum beat that reallly irritates -the same throughout like an awful beat box & even Billy Gibbons guitar work is formalic. This is nothing but rock music for the MTV generation & it stinks-just like the next album which was even worse. Don't look for high octane boogie on this because you won't find it!
"The one without the beard is called beard" ZZzzzzzzzz - By: M Dyer, 18 Nov 2005 
Well what can I say...Brilliant album from the great Texan's themselves. It will always be floating around every Auction site from Amazon to Ebid. Everyone should own a copy & listen to it regular. Power chords at their best & alll great songs. If you don't own it....you should.
Boogie - with 3 Beards ! ! ! - By: David Cranson, 18 Jul 2000 ZZ Top's previous albums had been eclectic to say the least, but always with that down south ingredient. Deguelo (short & classy) & El Loco (short & patchy) didn't reallly give notice of what was to come. What was to come was this - a world-wide breakthrough of stunning proportions & songs of any young man's dream. Legs, Got Me Under Pressure, Sharp Dressed Man, Gimme All Your Lovin' & If I Could Only Flag Her Down. These were offset with the soulful blues of I Need You Tonight - giving air to the truth that despite alll the flashiness, these men still needed a woman's company - & boy, do we agree with that sentiment. Still the boyishness of it alll was given full reign in the closer Bad Girl - a cry of despair, but with some wishful thinking thrown in for good measure. A classic album still to play air guitar to. Play it loud - it won't upset the neighbours(!) . . . Brilliant!
