album, released on March 23, 1983. Probably the Texan band's most famous and critically acclaimed album, it sees the trio further expand on the synthesizer sounds from their previous release. 1981's ''El Loco''.

Production started a year before release, in 1982 - inside Frank Beard's house in Houston, before Gibbons headed to Memphis, Tennessee to complete the work. Linden Hudson, the producer that lived alongside Beard in his house, had drawn the band's attention towards synthesizers and drum machines, to the point that Hill and Beard themselves contributed little in the album's final recording.

''Eliminator'' received high praise from critics for its production and sound that bridges hard rock with synthpop; it sold over 10 million copies, and its success can also be attributed to multiple music videos that received heavy rotation on television.

The album was listed at #398 in ''Magazine/RollingStone''[='=]s [[Music/RollingStone500GreatestAlbumsOfAllTime 500 Greatest Albums of All Time]].
