A nice little rocker, stuck between the balls-out blues of their debut and the goddamn-awesome-as-fuck riffage on 'Tres Hombres', but it works as a decent ZZ Top record, and to say it was released in 1972, i'd say the production and sound is pretty damn good.

How are these first few ZZ Top albums rated lower than Eliminator? This is what the band is all about. Straight up hard rockin' Texas blues. I really can't get into their 80's synth rock, commercialized bullcrap. It widen their audience to soccermoms and the average FM radio mark. I get why they went that direction. It was the 80's. $$$
