Not so bad as previously described!

And still from the average! If the statements made by the prescribing here times by reading one could be thought that Rob Zombie's latest album Total has become a letdown!
But there are clear: Hellbilly Deluxe 2 is not nearly as bad (or mixed) as has been described here! Okay, Zombie has become older and spent his time in recent years, more so to work as a film director. And it is also true that his last studio album Educated Horses is far lagged behind expectations, but Rob Zombie has even today as a musician on it and he proves us with this album.

If somebody approaches goes with the expectation on this album a 1: 1 copy of the legendary get Hellbilly deluxe album from 1998 is one necessarily disappointed. The title I personally also chosen somewhat unfavorable because the industrial rock Kracher 1998 this album has not much to do. No second or Dragula Superbeast will be found here! Zombie's more the way of Educated Horses roughly on, but mixed it rather more with the groove of his Sinister Urge Album.

Starting with the atmospheric opener JESUS ​​FRANKENSTEIN via the groovy SICK BUBBLEGUM or the wacky, Zombie with White bonds verse Henden Song WHAT? This album starts quite convincing. However, other songs like "Mars Needs Women, Werewolf, Baby!" or "Werewolf Women of the SS" are typical zombie and considerably more convincing than the EH album. As has been said: Zombie gets older and has evolved on its way! That his heyday he can not quite dock here should be clear for the Grandfather of Shock Rock takes more and more distance from pure industrial rock his White Zombie era and his solo start time, and presented the fans a thoroughly consistent and good sleaze rock work.

New dimensions will not achieve Zombie with this album, but sometimes quite seriously: He does his thing and I am delighted that he 1998 he consistently continues classics not just copied but its way its. Always want to hear the same for all the course this album is a slap in the face, but actually, this album Zombie Pur!

Thus, this album gets good 4 stars from me and it has well deserved!
