WHITE ZOMBIE / Astro-Creep: 2000 – Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head (1995)

WZ's most commercially successful album sold millions of copies, but it's not their best work. It's boring. Film samples in music are something I really enjoy when done correctly, there's a perfect balance that can be found between the two, but you won’t find it in Astro-Creep. Too many intros interrupt the flow, and when the music eventually does come it's uninspired. They peaked on the previous album and, unable to progress musically, simply go around in circles on this one.

WHITE ZOMBIE / La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 (1992)

La Sexorcisto was the soundtrack to my time in art school. Being inspired by Van Gogh, Hieronymus Bosch, and White Zombie was an exhilarating experience.
Musically, it's dominated by Psychedelic, Sludgy, almost Stoner groove riffs that are undeniably catchy. The aesthetic is helped along by a plethora of audio samples that capture the feeling of living inside a Horror B-Movie, which I imagine was the idea. If it didn't fall into sameness in the last third, it'd be perfect.
Rob Zombie never topped the album, neither musically or conceptually.
