Viral- Yeah dude, you know horror is my favorite genre so it pisses me off when he seems like he knows everything modern horror needs to be fixed, but he keeps coming out with mediocre - shit films (haven't seen his newest one yet, though). Devil's Rejects was OK but everything else was...blah.

Good review, insomniac. I'll check this out, hoping it'll be cooler than his last two efforts. Not gonna get my hopes up, though.

Aw hell naw. I really do hope I end up taking Bassdemon's side, because Hellbilly Deluxe 2, even if I did initially give it a three, had no lasting power for me (and it wasn't that magnificent in the first place). Zombie's music provides exactly what you said in the summary, cheap thrills, but Sinister Urge and Hellbilly Deluxe (imo actually to a lesser degree) at least delivered those thrills. The rest of his stuff, not so much, and I'm not really sure why, but I'm still waiting for him to deliver another Sinister Urge.



On a related note, have you heard of Scum of The Earth?

Sinister Urge was his last solid record. Since then, there have been some highlights and more average

material.



No, is it a side project of Rob Zombie's ?

No, but it's a project of his White Zombie bandmate Riggs. I think you'd really like it if you dig Zombie's style. Check out their debut album "Blah, Blah, Blah, Love Songs for The New Millennium".

It sounds similar to the early Rob Zombie output, but it's cool. Do they still have the same sound ?

I thought that both parts of Hellbilly Deluxe were kick-ass. Educated Horses was a fluke though. Sinister Urge was cool, but nothing special.

I actually really enjoyed this, has some dodgy tracks though like 'Rock and Roll (In a Black Hole). I really like the first track, to me it's pure RZ.

@insomniac

They don't anymore, as their latest album is purely electro metal. It still has the campy feel of White Zombie/Rob Zombie, though.



Their two first albums had that classic White Zombie/Rob Zombie vibe.

@metalstyles - Cool, I'm gonna check them all out anyway.

@greg - Hellbilly Deluxe both have some of his best songs. I even bought Hellbilly Deluxe 2 because of tracks like What, Sick Bubblegum, Werewolf Women Of The SS or Burn. Still, there were some less interesting, like Virgin Witch or Cease To Exist.

The original Hellbilly Deluxe had such strong singles that when I bought the album, I was massively, massively let down by the whole package. It does have Zombie's most anthemic tracks, but I never listen to it as a whole.

It's definitely his best, most consistent work to date. I agree that there are a couple of blunders on part 2, but that record still flowed really well for me. I'm not so sure about this one.

@metalstyles - I had the same thought. The singles are some of his strongest tunes, but the record is full of interludes and less stellar material.

"I still only heard his first album" [2]

Can't believe this guy is financially worth publishing.

Rob needs a change of pace. He should start a new band with Jack White, they could call it White Zombie.

"He should start a new band with Jack White, they could call it Pale Corpse."

You know, to mix it up a little.
