I keep going back to check out Zombie's stuff with hopes there's something similar to Hellbilly Deluxe #1 and every time I'm left questioning why I do. Terrible album IMO. Sick Bubblegum? Seriously? Oh well, Rob will always have a spot in my heart.

It's really a good mix of Hellbilly and Educated Horses. I liked both, so I'm fairly happy with it. It's got a few killer catchy songs that make it totally worthwhile to me.

I wonder where it would be on the charts if it was called Re-educated Horses? I like some of the songs on the album but ultimately feel let down. I wish he came up with a different name than HBD2. Even if I try not to I find myself comparing it to the original. superbeast>;sick bubblegum dragula>;what? living dead girl>;mars needs women

48,500 copies in a week? And this is Rob Zombie we're talking about. Oh man... the music industry's going tits up, no question about it. I am shocked (no sarcasm this time)

The album, well it's better than Horses but still fairly mediocre coming from Mr. Zombie. It's fine, though

Wolf: Lol. This is where Europe and the US have a complete communication break down. Here in the US, "tits up" would be a GOOD thing. In fact, anything involving tits HAS to be a good thing. \m/\m/

Lol Wolf, again, we see a great divide. Men don't have tits here. Unless you count the Family Guy-type man-boobs and in that case i'd have to agree. Man-boobs up would definately SUCK.

Sprial: Fvck that, make the fvcking movie already.
