Rhythmeen
Rhythmeen is the 12th studio album by American blues rock band ZZ Top, released in 1996.
Reception
Allmusic gave it a mixed review, by stating: "ZZ Top's long-awaited return to blues finally arrived in 1996, well over a decade after they abandoned their simple three-chord boogie for a synth and drum machine-driven three-chord boogie."
The album peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200 and number 32 on the UK Albums Chart.
