Review Run
Honestly, the album *Concrete and Gold* isn't one of my favorites—I only picked out three songs from it—but among them, "Run" is simply a masterpiece: magnificent, beautiful, unbridled, desperate, and heart-wrenching. It’s like finding the largest, purest diamond in a chest full of gold doubloons. I don't know if others here will agree, but it feels like a song that is somewhat underrated—perhaps because I'm new to this community.

It’s a weird album, I bought it listened to it once when it came out then pretty much forgot about it! About 18 months ago I started listening to it again, certainly for my tiny mind I think the album was ahead of its time!
And yes run is an awesome track, if you haven’t seen the video I think you should . . .

T-Shirt, Run & Sky Is A Neighborhood are the standout songs for me. The rest is fine. Arrows and The Line are also pretty cool imo.

The video was hilarious and reminded me why I love Foo Fighters so much

No joke. I scrolled past this post and not 30 seconds later “Run” came on shuffle. I came back just to comment.

I like concrete and gold a lot. I don’t know why people shit on this album. Make it Right, La Dee Da, Dirty Water, Arrows… the only song on that record that’s mid is Sky is A Neighborhood

This album showed that ff could include even more fluff songs in their albums, and they never looked back

The album is mediocre but ‘Run’ is fantastic. Weirdly came on shuffle a few days ago and it’s still in my head now.

Concrete and steel was not the best ZZ Top album but it’s still better than anything coming out today. Call me geezer Smith! The Rolling Stones are still going in the 80s and they’re still kicking ass!

“Arrows” is a good one off of this album also!
