Remix Abomination of Fantastic AlbumAugust 4, 2008 P. Holterhoff(Lubbock, Texas USA) I just want to re-enforce what others have said about the CD edition of this excellent recording. As noted by so many, the original (thank God I still have an old cassette tape) carried the vibe and nuance so well, it really was an integral part of the songs. That "dark and smoky" mix was simply part and parcel of Tejas' personality. And being in Texas, there's nothing like listening to the original Tejas and running across mesa country in the Colorado and Concho Valleys (depicted so well by the cover art). I DO NOT want the 80's dance remix of this music. I've tried really hard to accept this CD, but the sterile electronic vibe is so obtrusive, so counter to the tone established by the original, I just can't. It has simply gutted the personality of this unique album from the Texas Trio. My only hope is that so much negative feedback will accumulate here and across the board that a "new, old" version will be released. Ahh - dare to dream...
DO NOT BUY THIS CDJune 27, 2008 Mark Burnz(WA) If you want to hear ZZ Top, find their original LPs. The CDs that are available are an insult to the quality inspired musicianship the band once had. They are essentially re-recordings, and it's a shame that anyone who buys a CD is not going to hear the true ZZ, and why they were one of the best bands of the 70s. BUY THE LP or CASSETTE!!!
Remix DisasterJune 21, 2008 M. Monson This was my favorite album back in the days of cassette tapes. I wish I still had the tape. It would be better than the remixed garbage put out on CD. Why would anybody want to take a perfectly good drum track and make it sound like a casio drum machine on PURPOSE? The original Tejas was one of those rare albums where EVERY song was good and the sequence was perfect. I'd never get sick of listening over and over to this album. But three seconds into "It's only love" on the remix and I'm sick to death.
i can tolerate the remix!February 28, 2008 M. Garcia(houston, tx) tejas represents zz top at their very best! this is true musicianship blending country, jazz and boogie with cactus juice squeezed all over. i think it is the peak of their talent and shows their true singular style. the new re-release contains a horrible remix. drums are too loud sometimes, there's a squeal here and there that is missing. but this music is so good i can tolerate the remix.
