EL LOCO was a little too slick and silly for it's own good. It comes as a disappointment after fiery, raw blues-rock energy of DEGUELLO. It also marks the beginning of ZZ Top's flirtation with electronics. There are several great tracks in "Tube Snake Boogie", "Party On The Patio" and maybe even the sleazy "Pearl Necklace". Unfortunately, these songs aren't enough to offset the average songwriting that populates the rest of the album.
