You’d almost forget that before making movies like the Halloween remake and The Devil’s Rejects, Rob Zombie made music as well. First with his band White Zombie, then under his own name. He finally found some time in between Hollywood projects to return to his first love and comes bursting out the gates with the follow-up to 2006’s “Educated Horses” and a not so direct follow-up to 1998’s “Hellbilly Deluxe”.
As soon as you pop in this album, good times will follow. The drums plow on song after song while being supported by some beefed up guitars and a wide variety of weird sound effects and sound samples. Of course Rob Zombie himself throws in some exploitation-type lyrics about werewolves, vampires, witches and women in short skirts sporting pompons. Or maybe that last one was just my imagination kicking in.
Basically, Zombie wrote the soundtrack for a thrashy Tarantino movie that Quentin hasn’t made yet. Hell, he even wrote a track around his fake Grindhouse trailer “Werewolf Women Of The SS”! It’s not a great album but it sure is fun!
Score: 7 out of 10
