Rob Zombie
The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser
Universal Music Enterprises
2016
Let’s face it. Rob can easily come up with some very twisted, weird & mindf@ckin’ titles… as he has mostly done throughout his career. After his major blow-up with his support to BABYMETAL, he’s back with a new studio album that is hardly over 30 minutes. The majority of the tracks here are among 1 & a half minutes up to less than 3, so you get the idea why an album that features 12 tracks lasts only 31 minutes.
Rob doesn’t offer anything new with his new album and how could he after all? His style is rather specific and has been “mastered” over the years. Industrial rock music with bizarre lyrics and a kinda “horrifying” atmosphere at places. The sound is great and full overall.
No second thoughts here. You either fancy Rob and his “strange” works and you go for it or you cannot stand him anymore and you can easily leave this album aside. Honestly it’s a bit monotonous and overdone but that was always the case with Rob’s albums; they were a bit of the same. Anyhow, try out for yourself and make up your mind. I hope that Rob and other well-known musicians stop supporting new trends like the aforementioned one just for the sake of publicity cuz, musically, those trends will soon be a (bad) long-forgotten memory…
