Heh. That's funny because I remember reading in an interview with Rob Zombie back when Astro-Creep came out about how they had to create a bunch of fake movie samples for the album after all the legal issues they ran into with the samples on La Sexorcisto.

I guess that explains why I never really found many... well that and my own laziness.

I like how Electric Head opens more. Listened to that FNM song... it was good. But I love how the start of the album is just a build up... starting with creepy footsteps... and eventually building to one of the best riffs on the album. The start of that song is brilliant and sets up the b-horror elements perfectly.

To me, I love Astro Creep... it is heavy, thrashy and full of exploitation... like watching Basket Case or Re-Animator... it takes pride in how trashy it is... and that makes it even better for me. Takes itself just seriously enough, but also has a humor to it... like Evil Dead II type stuff.

This album just makes me think of those classic horror movies.. Basket Case, Re-Animator, Evil Dead... and on and on...

That is why I love it so. That FNM album = meh.

Well this war has one more day, so the votes need to come in for FNM. Next up will be Frownland's delayed war.

Ungh, I really like both albums. I love Patton's rendition of Easy. I think Land of Sunshine is not only a great opener but a great track, period. Midlife Crisis is solid - I love the change-up in the middle. Be Aggressive... is pretty cool.

But I gotta go with Zombie.

7-1
White Zombie

Sorry Jans.

Although that nonsense about Angel Dust being dull is nonsense.

The results so far:

Skateboard - 7
Time-Traveling Flying DeLorean - 1

BastardofYoung · 06-27-2012, 07:21 PM

I'd pick the skateboard. I mean the DeLorean is cool all and all, but in all reality I imagine running on plutonium would be too expensive for my blood.

The flying DeLorean was powered by garbage via Mr. Fusion.
