Like a bad song that doesn't seem to leave, this track still sounds like Zombie and will always be a better choice than the annoyance of whatever you just heard on the radio.no pun intended. After a few times of playing the track it really starts to get in your head. I mean, when comparing those bands to his solo albums it really makes the difference.Īnyways, the single " Dead City Radio and The New Gods of Supertown" at first glance does not seem all that interesting, being neither heavy nor original. A veteran guitar player for Zombie now, I've continued to find him unchallenged in his role(s).both Manson and Zombie. I think at this point I have to point out the great guitar work from John 5. It's an album that gives you the new and the old of Zombie.Īn eerie and slow building track that kicks off the album, " Teenage Nosferatu Pussy" is a great welcome back from the Zombie crew. This may not topple the other albums it but damn if it ever comes close. I guess like most other enthusiasts, I have been holding out for an album that would rival the likes of the debut "Hellbilly Deluxe" or my personal favourite "The Sinister Urge". VRRV is a breath of fresh demonic air into your lungs that you expect Zombie to do upon every album release. Hell, I'd even settle for some White Zombie, if were not going back too far for comparisons. Both albums had tracks I could listen to, but ultimately fell flat. I guess both EH and HDII had their own merit.
We all have those artists in our lives who have done either or. Much like other metal artists in the past, you can either make a f**kin great album and return to former glory or continue to play to "greatest hits" tours.
Between "Educated Horses" and "Hellbilly Deluxe II", I thought that Rob was reaching the point of no return. All cards on the table, I've been disappointed with Rob Zombie and his musical endeavours the last few years.
