Product Description

Mastodontes en termes de ventes depuis le succès planétaire de Eliminator deux ans plus tôt, les barbus se voient mal abandonner une formule gagnante qui a largement fait ses preuves. D'où l'option encore choisie sur Afterburner en 1985, à savoir un mariage entre le traditionnel blues musclé de ZZ Top et une rythmique qui aurait vendu son âme à l'électronique. L'union est une nouvelle fois fructueuse, le son résolument moderne permettant de dynamiser les éléments plus traditionnels toujours présents. Avec ce neuvième album, le trio de Billy Gibbons prouve encore une fois qu'il sait satisfaire plusieurs générations sans rien renier de son passé. --Cyril Deluermoz

I love this cd. The music still sounds as good to me today as it did back in 1985 when it came out. ZZ Top perfected the use of synthesizers mixed in with hard rockin' electic guitars to create a classic melodic rock 80's album. Billy Gibbons has never sounded better on electic guitar and vocals. Frank Beard's drumming is fast and solid. Dusty Hill's bass lines sound top notch. ZZ shows their talent and versatility to change their music style with the times. STAGES,Rough BOY,VELCRO FLY,I WOKE UP WITH WOOD,and PLANET OF WOMEN are my favorite songs off this cd.

One thing about this album over anything else ZZ Top did..It ROLLS with a fun atmosphere!! The only track that actually shouldn't be on it is "Rough Boy"..It's way to slow n bluesy for this album, not that it's a bad song, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the tunes...Many can harp about how ZZ Top was better before Eliminator or how they gave in to the 80's sound, but let me say this.."Rock N Roll is just that...fast cars, shakin' beats and wild girls, down right fun...fun ...fun!!! You need to hear some good Rockin' Texas Boogie to keep you rollin' once in a while, whether it's enhanced digitally or not!! Delta/Chicago Blues isn't rollin' in my books..Just down and out drown in your beer, feelin' bad Blues.."That just doesn't fit the 80's.... ZZ Top's best albums IMHO came in the 80's and why not..The 80's were about big dreams, mega fun and partying...Not about war stories and sorrow, so why should they have played slow blues only? You play what the decade deals ya! Even though Rock N Roll did originate from the Blues, The "Rock N Roll" title alone set's it apart from any basic slow Blues riff, which is why this album out sold any before Eliminator and the boys had one goal in mind..Rockin N Rollin 80's style! I suggest?...Buy this album!!!

This Hasn't Aged Well
"Sleeping Bag" opened a lot of eyes and ears in 1985 with the addition of synthesizers to the ZZ Top sound. Read more

GREAT ALBUM!
I don't know why some people have to boast about selling ZZ TOP albums they don't like [aftre 1st listen probably] oh well, doesn't take away from them, especially Afterburner. Read more

Out of this World
Now Eliminators are flying into outer space. That's cool but what happened? ZZ Top became more marketable in the '80s and raked in a lot of jack. Read more

Better than first impression
At first listen, "Afterburner" sounds like a pale copy of the previous and excellent "Eliminator". You can get the notion that the material is mainly "left-over-songs" from that... Read more

[real low point]
This is a real low point in ZZ Top's catalog. Eliminator was decent, though the music was buried under layers of synthesizers and drum tracks. Read more

The third star is for having the [courage] to make this album.
In the discography of ZZ Top, this is where things got truly wierd. ZZ Top may not be considered one of the top groundbreaking rock and roll acts in a historical sense, but Billy... Read more

As time goes by...
... and music changes so did ZZ Top. This is not anymore the very blues they were famous for. I don't want every one of their CDs to be like this one. Read more

Shot o' Afterburn, please!
Afterburner has nothing to do with ZZ's blues roots or why they began playing music back in the 60's. Read more

Who's on synth?
ZZ Top's follow-up to the enormously-successful 'Eliminator' features our 3 bearded buds dishing out more of their tried-and-true redneck rock, only this time with a distinctive... Read more
