It has been a long time indeed since Zombie has sounded more like his old self than on this stunningly aggressive track.
“Devil’s Hole Girls and the Big Revolution” begins the festivities, becoming the album’s new opener. With the addition of a few new tracks, the tweaking of one that was a bit self-indulgent, and even a little video content, Rob Zombie has moved this a solid step closer to being deserving of its title as a sequel to his most fondly remembered solo album. Regardless of which side of the fence you fall on, you’ll find something to like in this reissue of Hellbilly Deluxe 2. There’s a great deal of debate as to whether his recent work is actually any good. Rob Zombie needs to make a new full-length, for sure, but he could also do well by emptying the vaults of whatever he hasn’t gotten around to releasing, as the bonus cuts here clearly indicate.Longing for the past seems to be a common pastime among Rob Zombie fans. The other new track, “Michael,” sways with extra weight as it threatens to come loose from Zombie’s hand and crush anyone in its way. Zombie also adds a raw garage-rock pulse to what he does. “Everything Is Boring” is more standard metal aggression with the usual dissatisfactions with life. That’s not to say that tunes such as “Jesus Frankenstein,” “Sick Bubblegum” and “Death and Destiny Inside the Dream Factory” aren’t filled with plenty of road rage, but the additional tunes do a nice job of augmenting the original album. “Theme for an Angry Red Planet” is the intro to “Mars Needs Women” split into its own track and “The Man Who Laughs” is a new version of the album’s closer. “Devil’s Hole Girls and the Big Revolution” is an intense beating that’s heavier than many of the album’s original tracks.
For the special edition of Hellbilly Deluxe 2, three additional tracks were added.
