With The Sinister Urge, Rob Zombie again wraps his rasp around a thunderous blend of heavy grooves powered by human and electronic drums. Creepy touches of theremin and keyboards add goth accents, while the clever arrangements adorn melodies that are irresistibly catchy yet plenty aggressive. The lyrics are set firmly in a horror realm; with titles such as "House of 1000 Corpses" and "Scum of the Earth," one wouldn't anticipate tender love songs. Zombie scatters about sound bites from monster movies for good measure--an apt touch, but with the album clocking in at less than 40 minutes, there's a bit too much filler. Still, with highlights such as "Bring Her Down" with its spine- tingling orchestration, the hard-driving "Dead Girl Superstar" (featuring Slayer guitarist Kerry King), and "Feel So Numb," Zombie generates much genuine excitement. --Gail Flug

feed my head mr zombie.......2007-05-22

this is awesome stuff too! this and hellbilly deluxe i dont know which one is better...truthfully it doesnt matter which is better if you dont own them both you are as wrong as two boys in a closet. mr zombie's second helping after going solo hits just as hard as the first with 11 songs. standout tracks include demon speeding, dead girl superstar, going to california, crippletown(bring her down) and scum of the earth (also to be found on the MI-2 soundtrack). ozzy also chimes in on the song iron head. buy it now and bang your head.

Pass auf!.......2006-01-12

Another good but different cd from Rob Zombie. This album includes great guitar riffage, an orcastra and some poppy elements that some older fans might not enjoy. The album is pretty short though with a filler track that's just a bunch of nonsense that I always skip. I guess it'd better to have a short cd with a lot of good songs than a cd with some good songs and a lot of bad songs. I really enjoyed all of the songs and most of them stand out except "bring her down" and "scum of the earth." So go do yourself a favor and buy this disk.

Sin, sin, sin..!.......2005-08-30

Knowing that "The Sinister Urge" takes it's name from a 1961 Ed Wood film about a wide-eyed, sex-crazed maniac who murders young women in a city park, which police suspect is a part of the smut picture racket... and, somehow, the mob is involved. With that said, it's safe to say that Rob Zombie aligns himself with the off-beat -- but his music is superbly on-beat. His second foray into the solo musician world, he embarks upon a mixture of '70s gutter trash glam grooves meets roaring, aggressive (unlikely) pop/disco melodies with full symphonic instruments, stereo soundwork and sampled sound clips. The same genre-bluring he's infamous for with is other efforts.

A change of lyrical and tonal pace from his first solo record, "Hellbilly Deluxe", where he sung about straight horror (in a tongue-in-cheek fashion), and his work in White Zombie, which progressed from album to album, as well. This time, he takes a darker route, channeling (as the title mentions) sex, murder and madness -- but tastefully. Evident in track "Never Gonna Stop", where some of the lyrics are direct references to Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange".

Symphonically roaring "Bring Her Down" is my favorite track from the album, where "California" shares the second place slot. Both feel very classic and time-period defining (late '60s - early '70s), yet contemporary at the same time. More retro-futuristic, really. With a catchy chorus in "California" like "Get up, get out, get inside the outside", you know that Zombie had his eyes set on music which would well represent the counter-culture, drug-wasted high-life feel of Hollywood's finest years.

My favorite of his two solo records, it is a true masterpiece and a welcomed addition to his discography.

A worthy follow-up.......2005-06-17

Some people have nothing to say but bad things about this album, and admittedly its a slightly different turn, but its still the Mr. Zombie we all know and love (and worship.) This ones got a few guest appearances that read like a page torn out of the history of metal. Tommy lee has some appearances on various songs. The solo by Guitar-god of Slayer fame: Kerry King on the track 3: dead girl superstar, and of course, the vocal support on Iron Head by our old friend the Ozzman. The songs are well made (some have a backing orchestra even) and admittedly arent as diverse as they are on his debut (Hellbilly Deluxe) but theyre still great and flooded with samples and a halloween-esque vibe. Some standout tracks are Demon Speeding, Bring Her Down (To Cripple Town), Scum of the Earth, Never Gonna Stop(The Red Red Kroovy) and of course Iron Head. Theyre all worth listening to though, and esspecially for fans of The debut. sure, some old White Zombie fans will be turned off a bit by it, but its still a great album. Esspecially if you heard Hellbilly Deluxe and you need more (which you will).

What to expect from the Clean Version.......2003-01-17

This is an interesting Edited CD, mainly because none of the actual lyrics have been edited. There wasn't originally any cursing on this CD to begin with (except for a brief sample that says "shake your...proper," which has been left in). There WAS originally some nudity in the packaging, which has been blurred out in this version.

So the only actual editing in this CD takes place in the packaging. This seems really odd... but remember, the Parental Advisory labels read "Explicit CONTENT," not "Explicit Lyrics" - so it kind of makes sense.

I didn't know how good this was going to be, but when I popped it in to my CD player, I was glad I bought it. I love it so much. It starts out hard and never really quits. i love this kind of music and I think it is a must-have for anyone.

Review of the Bonus Disc, not the Sinister Urge.......2001-11-27

This is a review of the BONUS DISC that comes with the Sinister Urge (if you only want the Sinister Urge, I suggest you go get the version that doesn't come with the bonus). There is nothing special about the Sinister Urge, this is just a bonus CD that comes in a cardboard jacket that is taped to the Sinister Urge jewel case that contains sample tracks from 2001 albums released on Interscope / Geffen Records. All of these songs are not bad and pretty much one of three genres: Nu Metal like Adema, Static X, Mesh and others. Then there is some Death Metal, which I am not a fan of, but if you like it, then this CD should be pretty good, with bands like Soul Creation and Mushroomhead. Then there is old school metal from bands like Slayer and Dope. The CD is worth a listen and if you like some of the bands on the bonus disc, there is an insert with all of the song names, history of the bands, and pictures of the albums that the songs had come from. Take a chance by getting the Sinister Urge with the BONUS DISC, it's the same price as the Sinister Urge without the BONUS DISC.

Good Disk, but not enough.......2001-11-27

Sinister Surge has several really strong tracks. Instead of just copying what worked on "Hellbilly" and "Dragula," he pounds out great song after great song.

Some of my personal favorites are:
"Dead Girl Superstar" which has a tremendous guitar riff
"Crippletown" which is slower, but doesn't lose it's edge
"Iron Head" which is a duet with Ozzy
"Feel So Numb" which has the coolest sample off the disk (from Manos the Hands of Fate)
and "Demond Speeding" which can be downloaded off of this site.

There were a few problems with this CD, however. Several of the tracks are non-musical samples from old horror movies. There is nothing wrong with that, except when the number of those is close to the number of real songs. The CD run time is about 35 minutes, too short. He pounds out song after song, and then just ends.

Good hidden track, however. The bonus disk which comes with this ASIN isn't all that spectacular. The only really good song comes from the up and coming group "Soil."

Good, yet too short..........2001-11-26

This is Rob's 2nd solo effort, and while it is as good as "Hellbilly Deluxe", it is too short. Also, there are too many horror movie soundbites throughout the album. If you took out all of the soundbites, that would be like 1/2 the album right there...Key tracks include "Feel So Numb", "Dead Girl Superstar", and "Iron Head".

The bonus CD is a plus. It has great established bands such as Static X, Cypress Hill, and Slayer. It also has some awesome but not well known bands such as dope and Dry Kill Logic. A great compilation of artists.

Great Cooper, I mean Zombie Cd.......2001-11-20

Minus Scum of the Earth and Dead Girl Superstar this cd sounds more like the newer Alice Cooper work than old school zombie (minus Rob's vocals of course). This is not a bad thing, quite frankly it is awesome, its nice to hear an artist change his sound, and these songs have a groove that the previous work did not have. The only ones I don't like are Never Going to Stop (it lacks a good grove, and isn't very heavy) and Iron Head (the duo with Ozzy is cool, but Zombie sounding like Disturbed is not cool).

Return of the Living Zombie.......2001-11-20

Okay, let's get the checklist: Dreadlock mop. Check. A zillion soundbites and references to Monster Culture. Check. Raspy voice and catchy, crunching tunes. Check. There's only one Rob Zombie, and if you already love him then "The Sinister Urge" gives you more of exactly what you want. If you still (somehow) love "Living Dead Girl" and "Dragula" in spite of mass over-exposure but don't know if you're really into Zombie, then you might want to pass. All Zombie songs sound sort of the same, but like a good Ramones album, that's kind of the point. Zombie sold the same songs from 1998's "Hellbilly Deluxe" to so many movie soundtracks that I began to wonder if he ever needed to work again. If there weren't enough remixes available for you, he even released "American Music to Strip By" which was a complete remix of the entire "Hellbilly Deluxe" album! Finally, some new material (well, mostly)! After three years we only get 11 tracks and one of them ("Scum of the Earth") was previously released on the "Mission Impossible 2" soundtrack. Two other tracks are only soundbites and musical interludes. That means there are only 8 new songs. But it's not quanity, but quality that counts! How are the new tracks? Pretty good. The biggest innovation this time is the inclusion of classical instuments on several tracks like "Bring Her Down" and "Demon Speeding" which brings to mind the metal/ classical orchestral mix of Metallica's "S&M". "Demon Speeding" might be the most powerful track on the new CD, but it sounds like rank and file Zombie. "Dead Girl Superstar" is a pseudo sequel to "Living Dead Girl" and sequel rules apply: it's good but less than the original. The single, "Feel So Numb" isn't the best choice to introduce the CD to the public, but it's fine dark dance club material. "Never Gonna Stop (the red, red kroovy)" and "(go to California)" are the biggest stabs at "something different" and they are worth a listen. The stongest track on "The Sinister Urge" might be Zombie's duet with Ozzy Ozborne, "Iron Head." The mix of their two different vocal styles makes for an interesting contrast of old meets new metal. The master and the pupil unite.
Finally, Rob's title track to his directorial debut, the still unreleased "House of 1,000 Corpses" is a great Southern Gothic anthem made for concert sing-a-long fun. After that track ends and 4 or 5 minutes of static noise, Zombie offers another hidden bonus track called "Unholy (just like you)" which feels like an unfinished song. It's REALLY short and just includes some more soundbites and a chorus, so I'm not counting it in the song count.
