Rob Zombie - Past, Present, and Future

[Dan]

This is a Rob Zombie greatest hits CD I picked up today. The coolest thing about it is that it includes his hits with White Zombie as well as his solo stuff. I guess Rob Zombie's kind of a love-him-or-hate-him kinda thing, and as much as I bitch about Creed or Limp Bizkit's songs sounding the same, this disc definitely offers little in the way of musical experimentation, but that's okay. It's still great industrial metal with (at least in the later songs) a poppy edge. The funniest thing is that the lyrics in every song are more or less the same: Zombie screams "yeah!", then describes how evil he is. The whole thing is so tongue-in-cheek, any song could be the anthem for Tromaville. Another cool thing is that the CD comes with a DVD with all of his videos, plus some new unreleased ones (10 videos in all). It's a really good deal for $15.
