Album Notes: ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons (guitar, vocals); Dusty Hill (bass, synthesizers, vocals); Frank Beard (drums, percussion). ELIMINATOR, with its churning guitars and synthesizer hooks, was on the album charts for over a year, and had hits with "Sharp Dressed Man," "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Legs." The album and its accompanying videos were ubiquitous in 1983, on television ZZ Top was seen on MTV, "St. Elsewhere," even on the Tonight show. 1983 was the year Z.Z. Top went from being everyone's favourite bar-room boogie band to international superstars. Graced with mind-boggling and incredibly photogenic beards, a very neat trilogy of sexy videos and a collective ear for a quite distinct and highly stylized, if somewhat grizzled blues/pop, the sudden enormity of their success seems in retrospect like no real surprise. MTV had never quite seen the like and the attention given to the excellent 'Gimme All Your Lovin'' single was quickly repeated for both 'Sharp-Dressed Man' and the quite irreverent 'Legs'. It still sounds fresh, innovative and fun today. in the wake of many imitators.
Album Reviews: Rolling Stone (11/89) - Voted #39 in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Albums Of The Eighties" survey.
Advantages: Several outstanding tracks. Disadvantages: Weak ballads and too much filler.
...ZZTop's most recent studio release, shows that even after nearly 40 years together, they are still capable of producing some of the finest music out there- an almost perfect combination of blues and rock n' roll. This album has several standout tracks, which easily match their most famous work. Bassist dusty Hill takes over singing duties on Piece, and the result is one of their finest tracks to date, with two incredible guitar solos from Billy Gibbons. He also demonstrates his considerable vocal talents on closing track Liquor, a classic down and dirty blues number that shows that ZZTop are still up there with the best of them. Buck Nekkid shows the bands more humorous side, with great lyrics, a classic blues riff, and some seriously good guitar playing.But sadly, this album is far from perfect. The main criticism is that there are...

Advantages: Long lifespan Disadvantages: Long loading time
...This is one of those racing games just battling it out to become top dog, the seat currently held by need for speed, it has all the right stuff but the one thing it lacks is its free roam and police chasing. These are both missing from the game. It chooses to focus on crew races and winning parts for your car.
That is also one of the main benefits of the game, it has various different parts for different cars, so you can fully customise your car and make each car individual. However you can do the opposite you can apply a crew scheme to make all of your cars look the same, this gives your crew a distinct look especially when playing against your friends on the AD-HOC mode, this is a poor point about the game, becuase although the idea is good you need four players to complete the mode, and there isn't really that many people...

Advantages: hmm... Disadvantages: Made my face sting!
...I was in Superdrug a little while ago and I saw these 'Blackhead Eliminating Daily Cleansing Cushions' and I thought they looked great! I have some blackheads on my nose and chin so I bought these and off I went home eager to try them out.
The packaging is quite attractive. The product comes in a cardboard box which has a lid that lifts up and reveals the face pads inside in a clear plastic bag. The box has 'Visibly Clear' written on the top of it with information about the product written along the sides. It has the classic orange Neutrogena colour covering the top half of the top of the box and the rest of the box in a silver/grey colour.
You get 22 of these cleansing cushions in the pack. They are circular is shape and are two soft cottonwool-like cylinders attached together with a space at the bottom like a pocket so you can...
