Description
ZZ Top / Antenna - BMG/RCA Records 74321182601 (1994) (UK) ...This auction is for a brand new, Import issue Record on (UK/Holland) vinyl.
Like precious few bands from the '70s , ZZ Top just keeps rolling on into the next decade. There's much to love here, from the downright nasty stomp of "Fuzzbox Voodoo," the powerhouse slow blues of "Cover Your Rig," the bass-pumping "Girl in a T-Shirt," to the slow grind of "Breakaway." While Billy Gibbon's guitar tones on this album are highly reminiscent of Tres Hombres (an early high-water mark for the band), the high production sheen from their '80s albums remains intact. But Gibbons hasn't played with this much over-the-top abandon since their pre-beard 'n' babes days, and that's what separates this album from the three that came before it.

ZZ Top continued on in its self-described "return-to-basics" approach on its 1994 release, ANTENNA. While the production remains much more polished when compared to the sound of the early albums it was trying to recapture (RIO GRANDE MUD, TRES HOMBRES, FANDANGO!, etc.), there's still plenty here to satisfy most ZZ Top fans. On such tracks as the album opening rocker "Pincushion," the down-and-dirty "Fuzzbox Voodoo," and the crawling blues of "Cover Your Rig," the trio sounds like it's still having fun some 20-odd years after first crashing the scene. ANTENNA proved to any doubters that ZZ Top still had plenty of gas left in its tank.
Editorial Reviews
...you could put ANTENNA right next to ZZ Top's first album, released 24 years ago--and you couldn't tell the difference. Is anyone complaining?...
Musician (19940301)
...ZZ Top's power-blues-rock-barf has remained an elegant constant in a pop cultural world that is otherwise obsessed with fashion and faux evolution...ANTENNA is no exception.
Spin (19940401)
3 1/2 Stars - Very Good - ...ZZ Top are enduringly hip as the blues, for beneath the bluster of the group's arena-rock dynamics and two-bit imagery lies the soul of a Texas party band...on ANTENNA, their message remains bracingly loud and clear...
Rolling Stone (19940210)
