Album Review

Just as White Zombie was on the verge of becoming the most popular metal band in the land, Rob Zombie decided he was an auteur. Stopping short of breaking up the band, Zombie set out to make sure everyone know that he was the main force in the band, as if there were any doubt in the first place. He did extracurricular animation, managed a band, started a record label, drew a sequence in Beavis & Butt-Head Do America, appeared in films, wrote the script for The Crow 3 (which he planned to direct), and most tellingly of all, he recorded a solo album, Hellbilly Deluxe. Since White Zombie was always his baby, it seems a little strange that he had the need to break away from the group, especially since the album sounds exactly like a White Zombie record, complete with thunderous industrial rhythms, drilling metal guitars, and B-movie obsessions. For most listeners, it doesn't matter if Hellbilly Deluxe is technically a White Zombie or Rob Zombie album, since it delivers the goods, arguably even better than Astro-Creep: 2000. To outsiders, the entire schlock enterprise may seem ridiculous or sound monotonous, but even the weak cuts here hit hard and give fans exactly what they want. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

One thing Rob Zombie is really good at - and this album is no exception - is making music that just sounds like a good theme for a movie with zombies. Big surprise, right? If you really like dark metal as I do, then there's probably something for you here. The only song I thought was just great though was "Suberbeast", although "Return Of The Phantom Stranger" was really really good. The 5th track, "Perversion 99" was fairly good, although a little slow and boring, and the first track was neat, but it wasn't actually a song. I didn't think any of the rest of the album was any better than "Just Okay", but then again, that's my personal taste. After all, the tracks I mentioned actually weren't the most popular ones on this album.
