Rob Zombie has made a successful career out of bombastic rock music, with huge drums and even huger riffs accompanying scary lyrics, packaged like contemporary versions of '50s B-movies seen through the eyes of high school students. His second album since the dissolution of his band White Zombie is a collection of remixes of tracks from his first, HELLBILLY DELUXE, and on it he moves into the world of dance music--sort of. The remixes here do two primary things: they increase the beats per minute and they move the vocals further forward in the mix.
"Meet the Creeper," remixed by DJ Lethal, is one a few tracks that successfully managed to amp up the B-movie threat--which, given its largely cartoony nature, is no mean feat--into an actual threatening sound. No strangers to cartoony threatening music themselves, Rammstein's take on "Spookshow Baby" is surprisingly effective, adding massive crunch against a more spacious backing. "Demoniod Phenomenon" is a treated to a jackhammer dance beat. While most of the mixes here rearrange the beats without messing with the riffs, when "Return of the Phantom Stranger" does it comes across as a carefully controlled creep-out that is far superior to the original version.
