La Futura album Product Description

La Futura album by ZZ Top was released Oct 22, 2012 on the Republic label. La Futura, ZZ Top's 15th studio album and the group's first since 2003's Mescalero, was recorded at Foam Box Recordings in Houston and at Shangri La Studios in Malibu, and produced by Rick Rubin and the band's guitarist, Billy Gibbons. La Futura music CDs The album was recorded at a leisurely pace between tours over a four-year period, resulting in ten new tracks from the best little three-chord boogie band to ever come out of Texas. Rolling Stone (p. 64) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[The results] prove these guys are still bad, speeding along and with warmth, humor, mystery and funk."
Q (Magazine) (p. 112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "With their grease-splattered riffs and salty wordplay 'Have A Little Mercy' and 'Chartreuse' rewind to the days before 1983's ELIMINATOR."
Mojo (Publisher) (p. 88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The sound of a band re-energised, LA FUTURA is possibly the hard rock album of the year." La Futura CD music contains a single disc.

About Time!!
ZZ still has it! Harkens back to their early albums.... I've been looking for some more ZZ music to get my boogie groove back, and this album fills the bill to overflowing! Still the best after all these years, Gibbons and co. know how to get down and get it on!! Best beer drinking, pool hall boogie music there is!... ....

in your face ZZ
After hearing what I did before the release, I really thought this album would take me back to Tres Hombres. However, it is mostly a continuation of their same musical direction, which is fine by me. I like the big full in your face production and the dirty/gritty feel. I think the best 2 songs are the 2 extra cuts, but those are only on certain versions of the album. Those 2 songs rock like a ZZ Top on fire... fantastic stuff! I wonder why they didn't include those on the regular release? Anyway, it's good to hear some new ZZ Top... maybe not a 5 rating, but a solid 4.

not bad....but
Just checked this disc out. It sounds exactly what you'd expect a 2012 ZZ Top to sound like, except one sad reality. The vocals are shot. They can still jam, but when considering further releases, I HIGHLY suggest one of these two options: 1) the new and improved band become an instrumental band or 2) make an addition of someone with some vocal ability.
