Rob Zombie was gaining himself a reputation in the commercial
metal world already with his band White Zombie but it is as a solo artist that
he has been most successful. The new album "The Sinister Urge" continues the
trend of the previous ones with heavy industrial techno-horror metal and his
own unique vocals. There is also a little surprise on the album in form of an
interesting cover version of the dance hit "Go To California" (I think it
was it originally done by 2-Pac and Dr. Dre but I'm not sure). The music is
still world-class and straight-forward metal but I would like to see more
tracks in the vein of "Scum Of The Earth" and "Iron Head", two of the best
tracks he has done so far. "Iron Head" also features some very nice vocals
from his dear friend Ozzy Osbourne. The two old men still has a great taste in
music and they have been very important in the struggle to keep metal alive in
the 1990's even though some narrow-minded people may see them as commercial
sell-outs. The music of Rob Zombie has always been very intense and filled to
the brim with energy and this is why I enjoy this album so much. One of the
highlights of 2001.
