It's been way too long since I bitched about something. Before we're forced to change the page title to "Unicorns Kick Ass" I thought I'd pass on a gripe or two.I knew this album was going to suck right after I read the title. Rob Zombie spent the last several years re-making a crappy horror film (sorry kids, was never a Halloween fan) & cranking out a sequel to said film. His last two albums had a few standout tracks but were mostly dancy pop/70s stadium rock. Don't get me wrong, I'm a White Zombie fan and I loved the first Hellbilly, but it's been a long time since Rob Zombie's main focus was playing music.
I have no idea why you would make a sequel to a 12 year old album aside from an attempt to cash in quick or fulfill a record contract. Maybe he really thought songs with titles like "Sick Bubblegum" were just evil enough to fit right in with the first album. Shit, he even took the time to write a song about the fake trailer he did for Grindhouse. Despite the plethora of horror movie samples and sci-fi references Hellbilly Deluxe 2 was boring and lazy and I sold it in less than two weeks.
As far as I'm concerned he hasn't done anything good since the early 90's, musically or movies. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteAnd Unicorns do kick ass, sir!
ReplyDeleteI'm over him. Music-wise and movie-wise. I want my 10 bucks back from Halloween!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll add that to my request for the 13.99 I spent on the album.
ReplyDeleteIt's my own fault. Dude put out a "best of" album with a cover of "Brick House" on it. I should have known better.....
