SEALED* ZZ Top - Afterburner (Vinyl LP, Jan-1985, Warner Bros)
Review from another site: Well, if you just had your biggest hit ever, you'd probably try to replicate it, too. And if you were praised for being visionary because you played all your blues grooves to a slightly sequenced beat, you'd probably be tempted to not just continue in that direction, but to tighten the sequencer and graft on synthesizers, since it'll all signal how futuristic you are. While you're at it, you might visualize how space age this all is by turning your signature car into a space shuttle. If you look at things that way, then Afterburner, ZZ Top's follow-up to their blockbuster Eliminator, makes sense -- they're just giving the people more of what they want. Problem is, blues-rock just doesn't kick when it's synthesized, even if ZZ Top's grooves always bordered on robotic. As an artifact of the time, Afterburner is pretty good, but it is a product of its time -- the only record ZZ Top could have made at the time, but it hardly exists out of that time.
