CD Description
Combining schlock-horror theatrics with Sabbath-inspired metal, White Zombie were one of the most colourful and entertaining heavy-rock acts to rise to popularity in the 1990s. Though the band had been performing since the mid-'80s with a variety of lineups (with singer and group impresario Rob Zombie the constant), things began to click with LA SEXORCISTO,the group's major-label debut. Buoyed by grinding hard-rockgrooves (some of the record is almost danceable) and inspired equally by Russ Meyer movies, Halloween, and Alice Cooper, LA SEXORCISTO is a journey through the roiling, raunchy underbelly of metal.
The ghoulish album illustrations and song titles like "Spiderbaby (Yeah-Yeah-Yeah)" and "Cosmic Monsters Inc". prove White Zombie's aesthetic is as steeped infangs and fake blood as in punishing metal thunder. Over chunky power chords, Rob Zombie growls and snarls stream-of-consciousness lyrics full of psychotic fantasies, sleazy double entendres, and stylistic references to beat poetry and B-movies. "Thunder Kiss '65", with its hypnotic verses, was a hit from the album, thanks in part to a video that made its way into rotation on MTV. White Zombie is all the more appealing for its self-conscious, tongue-in-cheek playfulness, making LA SEXORCISTO a whole lot of fun.

Customer Reviews

zombies ate my stereo?
if you have heard of white zombie, chances are it was of the 'astro creep....' album. this album is just as good, maybe better. this album has trademarks of everything that made white zombie great. samples a plenty, great guitar sound and awesome songs! this album is reommended by me and also bevis and butthead ( if that is good is up for debate) and sold over a million copies in the states. It's even got iggy pop on it! check this out! or for every be in ignorance about one of the best metal bands of the '90s.

Origins of zombie
Rob Zombie, a god, a legend. The first White Zombie song I ever heard was "I am hell". Then after a few empty years I fell in love with another song, "More Human Than Human." My lust for Zombie rekindled, I sought all that I could find. 2 regular albums and 2 remix albums later I found this, the prequel to all the well known albums. It lacks the polish of the others, but is pure Zombie nonetheless! If you just have to know what Rob was shouting before "Devilman! Devilman!" then this is for you!

You gotta shoot em in the head...
Mr Zombie had peaked at this stage in his career, with everything post this album being a rehash of this template. His films too have suffered with the Retro-Zombification style that he has latched onto. This album does not travel well through walls into the shower cubicle either.

The bass and drums tend to merge into cacaphony of purple noise and any discernable difference between the tracks is lost. There are no distinctive bass lines either when listening to this CD from in the shower.

However, when listening to this in a conventional way, such as from my Hi-Fi whilst blasting at 3mph down a canal, the tracks sound different and the samples from crappy wasp movie films really compliment the sound of the music.

Unfortunately, being able to hear the dreary lyrics being sung by Mr Zombie highlights the fatal flaw in all of Mr Zombie's work so far. This album has no fewer than 64 'yeah's' used as a lyric. Some artists might use one or two per album, but Mr Zombie seems to use this as a stop gap for when he cannot think of a word!

I counted the 'yeah's' after back to back playback of this album around eight times. The first two listens had differing tallies of 'yeah's', with the first running at 61, and secondly scoring 65. It was a consistent 64 after six more listens but I think there may be a couple of low volume 'yeah's' inbetween some of the chorus's.

On the whole, this is a good album but spoiled by the lazy lyrical use of 'yeah'. It would be like yeah me saying yeah inbetween every other word yeah and yeah it becomes yeah annoying yeah, yeah?

Try to listen to this album and see if the 'yeah's' get on your milk bags. unless I can find a censored version of this album or at least cut out the 'yeah's' myself, I will not listen to this again. Sorry Mr Zombie, you might have a sexy wife with a nice rear, but this album is not recommended.
