I first heard Antenna years ago when it came out and hated it. I felt it was Afterburner revisited and lacked in any originality. Well, I was wrong.
First off, there is the giant slayer of a track called Pincushion. An absolute stoater of a song. Great sound, oblique lyrics and the usual stunning rhythm work. Essential ZZ stuff.
Secondly the production of this album sounds superb. No need for remastering with this one. It hums and clicks in all the right places, great bass and clean top end.
The only gripe I have with this one, now after all these years, is the tedious nature of the lyrics on a couple of songs - Antenna Head, PCH, Cherry Red and Cover Your Rig in particular. They are just dull double entendres, or just dull.
Tracks worth buying this for are Pincushion, Breakaway, Lizard Life, Deal Goin' Down and Everything. And they are really worth hearing, even if you only have a passing interest in the Top.

ZZ TOP do not play your usual boring guitar riffs, they play totally original brilliant riffs, heavy, surreal with real kickarse feel, Billy Gibbons a true maestro, these guys are as good today as they have ever been, over 40 years of sheer brilliance!!!!

Its a solid 4 but Im giving it a 5 to bring up the rating because of the other only review by that clown Gary Fredrick that gave it a 1.Is it any wonder?Check out all his reviews which are all negative.
Back to the cd.Alot of good blues guitar licks.
Definitely worth the purchase.

ZZ Boring Top
7 May 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
ZZ Top is so stuck in the 80's Afterburner days. This is nothing but same tired sound they sold out with in the 80's. Synth driven heavy overdubbed. Billy Gibbons says he loves " techno " rock and this is more of the same being repackaged as rock. All sounds like Legs, Gimme Your Lovin', etc. I grew up loving these guys, I've moved on, they haven't.
