Preface: I am a HUGE White Zombie fan, and have been looking forward to this box set for years. As far as the quality of the music contained herein, this set gets a 5 out of 5.

1. Omissions. The set contains no remixes, which is neither surprising nor disappointing, since White Zombie's remixes were done by outside personel and, quite honestly, were never as good as the original recordings. Strangely, though, "Black Friday" and "Dead or Alive" are omitted from this set (maybe because they were only on the cassette version of "Gods on Voodoo Moon"?). Songs like "Star Slammer" which were previously recorded but never before released are also AWOL on the box set. What a shame.

2. Redundancy. La Sexorcisto and Astro Creep are contained, in their entirety, on Discs 3 and 4 (respectively). Anyone who's a big enough White Zombie fan to shell out this kind of money for the box set already has the two albums, both of which are owned by millions of fans across the world. Rob knows this, but included them anyway. Why? So he could justify a higher price tag? I feel like a moron for paying for something I already own.

3. Aesthetics. The packaging is very, very disappointing. Back in the day, Geffen declined to front the money to give Astro Creep the kind of elaborate booklet that Rob wanted. So, what did he do? He spent a big chunk of change out of his own pocket to give the album the kind of treatment it deserved. Sadly, Rob seems to have gotten miserly in his old age. The set's packaging is in the form of a compressed fold-out digipack. The booklet (which is in the form of a standard CD booklet, not an actual book, as I had hoped) is uninteresting and offers neither liner notes nor lyrics. This really caught me by surprised, as this is what usually makes box sets distinct from the rest of a band's catalogue. Rob really didn't come through on this.

In summary:

1. It's incomplete.

2. It has stuff you already have.

3. It doesn't look as nice as it could have.

BUT!

4. The music is great, and the quality of all the old pre-Sexorcisto tracks has been cleaned up a little bit.

Oh, and the DVD is good too, although the videos for Boogieman and One curiously omit clips from the films in which they were featured (licensing issues, perhaps?).

All in all, the good outweighs the bad. Buy it.

Couldn't even believe it was out already. I'm a die hard white zombie/rob zombie fan and have been awaiting this release for some time. It was an unexpected surprise when I spotted this for sale earlier today. I've been checking Rob's website monthly to see a release date.

Anyways basically it's worth it more as a collectors item, but had a little buyers remorse after. I've owned the earlier white zombie records and trust me they're not something you're going to listen to for pleasure. Some songs sound like a garage band playing for the first time. The rest of the cd is some soundtrack songs mixed with the rest of the white zombie collection.

DVD is pretty solid.

I guess I personally had higher expectations.

I don't profess to be an expert on music. I just know what I like to listen to. In my opinion this is a good way to get your hands on the more obscure White Zombie songs from the first two albums (which I wasn't familiar with at all ) as well as the latter two which most White Zombie fans know very well. It's nice to have it all together in one compilation. I think it was well worth the price .

4 disc, 1 dvd. Not bad, if your a zombie fan you have seen all these videos. I was kinda of let down by that. The four cds are just old school white zombie (very cool). If your a collector of WZ its a must. Just don't get your hopes to high, the videos and packaging could have been better. Overall I'm happy with it.

I have been a huge White Zombie fan since I was 12 years old (Currently 26), so my review may be a little one sided. It is brilliant, live footage, the old albums, and the greatly improved sound quality of all the tracks. The only complaint I have, there are unreleased tracks out there & R.Z. did not put them on this boxed set. What is he waiting for?
