Listening to rob zombies body of work lately. We both have similar hangup - horror, industrial sampling,metal, what could go wrong?
I'll just say this: his solo work is by no means the quality of White Zombie. Musically, lyrically, vocally. In white zombie, his voice is deeper, barking out the lyrics with a nice touch of harshness that started to fade a little during astrocreep 2000, but by hellbilly deluxe is all but gone. I don't know if the other guys in WZ were contributing to the powerful vocal sound or what.
The solo work just isn't as heavy and the lyrical content goes from monstrous and creepy to campy horror and sing -songy choruses. Its listenable, and id rather literally eat the discs than listen to rap or some of that type of crap. Still, he's gone downhill, not up
