aside from a few gem's you can download better music for free. I first got introduced to white zombie through the first remix album, and I had high hopes for this one, however most of the remixes are either generic techno or the same song just paced to a beat. Although it's a nice alternative from the first album, it's not something that you'll be listening to in a year. Also rob's art is tasteless, and even though he probably trys for this, it's not a worthwile achievement. I never deducted a star for this however. This album also isn't nearly as intense as the original. The "good parts" of the original songs have been cut and sampled down to a regular song part, and other parts have been improved to be the main chorus of the song. This is much different then the first remix album, where the "good parts" of the songs were still the focus of the remix, and I don't like it.

Hellbilly Deluxe is a classic, this is a sad peice of garbage. Everything that makes the songs great on previous recordings is lost in these horrible "remixes". I find it hard to believe that Rob Zombie would be part of ruining his own music like this - it not only makes him look like a fool and a sellout, but it also takes away from the reputation that he made for himself with his past work, all for a few bucks. I was very dissapointed to say the least.

The gathering of three Industrial Rock powerhouses - Rob Zombie, Rammstein & Charlie Clouser (from NIN fame) - might produce what? More Industrial Rock?

No. Actually, british techno/electronica stylings are written all over these tracks. For example:

Track #1 (Dragula) is Big Beat meats Rob Zombie; sort of a heavier version of the Prodigy ("Firestarter" comes to mind). A slightly modified version of this track appeared on the "Matrix" soundtrack.

Track #3 (How to Make a Monster) is Big Beat again; this time around, it has a more hip-hopish, Chemical Brothers feel to it.

Track #7 (The Ballad of Ressurrection Joe) sounds like trip-hop to me ears.

Track #8 (What Lurks on Channel X?) has shades of the Prodigy's "Smack my Bitch Up", starting when the verse kicks in.

Track #11 (Superbeast, mix #2) is an interesting drum n' bass version of this song. Actually, I prefer it than the original version. No wonder that's the version used on the "Superbeast" video.

Oh my what a failure of remixes. I enjoyed Hellbilly Deluxe quite a bit when it first came out. Then when I got bored of it, I thought I should buy the remix album and it will bring some fresh life into it. Well it did and it didn't. With the exception of the Dragula Remix, Spookshow baby remix and the second Meet the Creeper remix, all these remix's flat out butchered the originals. Basically it was like listening to your favorite tunes commit suicide. It brought new life into the songs by making me put the original Hellbilly Deluxe back into my CD player and making me press the play button. That's it. Now I'm tempted to give this CD 2 stars, but looking back at it. 3 good remixes do not make it worth paying full price. And while the girl on the cover is hot, be forewarned you peeping toms, there isn't any nudity. Sorry to ruin your pathetic dreams. Haha! Well, I hoped this helped. Remember, In order to have a Rob Zombie collection, the remix albums are not essential. Why do you think there weren't any on his greatest hits? (though they should have at least put the Dragula remix).

this is "American Made Music To Strip By"! it's also an illustration of how great artists steal.

12 or so artists (including DJ lethal, god lives underwater) slice and dice rob's work from Hellbilly Deluxe; rob reinvents the styles of comic-book-art geniuses of our time (crumb/big daddy roth/etc./etc.) in his amazingly appropriate and wonderful visuals which oversaturate the package. a large booklet of concert photography is also included, as well as multiple images of the most beautiful woman on earth...sheri kitty moon. worth the purchase alone.

and you can actually hear the vocal track on "how to make a monster"...

if you're looking to get naked to music, this would be a fine choice. if you're looking for original music from rob zombie...stop your bawlin' and wait with the rest of us.
