Not much of a hook in that one.

There's a couple of cool twists but overall it's a pretty generic Top song spruced up with some production tricks. Sounds like something from the post_Eliminator, pre-Rhythmeen era.

I like the Gotsa Get Paid track much better.

"I've Gotta get Paid" with a Trussart Tele and Jeremiah Weed? Me, I did Jeremiah 25 years ago, back in the day and liked it.

I think that's about all we're gonna get from ZZ Top at this point, and I'm okay with that. No other band sounds like this. Still, I hope they experiment a little bit on the new record. Some of the stuff on Rhythmeen and Mescalero is pretty out there.

I like the old stuff - unfortunately they are one of those bands where you heard one then you heard 'em all. I think that comes with being a little unique.

There would be wet panties if someone said this was the new Black Keys. Be great to hear a few more new songs.

I wish Dusty would sing more on new stuff, the Rev's voice is not doing so well these days.

ZZ should play stuff that *I* want them to play, not what *they* want to play. Selfish bastards.

I dig Gotsta Get Paid more but that ain't bad.

I think Billy's voice just keeps getting more soulful with age.

Agreed. Dusty has a great voice, and I don't think he's done enough with it over the years.
