The Top were still well into their dry-n-dusty blues-rock, and still singing about cars and girls. Any suggestion, however, that they were a complete anachronism was at least delayed by them getting into synths and drum machines and injecting elements of disco and new-wave into their catchy rock grooves.
Various rumours have Billy Gibbons more or less excluding his two bandmates in favour of drum machines and playing the other instruments himself. Whatever the case, the album fared very well, helped in no small part by its music videos (such as "Legs") which were put into high rotation on MTV.
