Surprise of the month

Dance-Metal ? Indus ? Nu-Metal ? I don't know ... and I don't give a sh*t, as this album is simply wonderful !!!

If you need another picture, here it comes : do you remember our impression about the last Ozzy or the last Alice ? Let's says in two words that this Sinister Urge is full of samples, groovy hits, each song being totally different one another and that both Alice and Ozzy have try to made it ... but Rob Zombie made it and succeed it !!! What a song-writing my dear readers !

Another point here : if you like Rammstein and have some problems with German lyrics, this Sinister Urge is very inspired (too much ?) by the last Rammstein (Mutter), but here the lyrics are in English. Songs like Never Goona Stop, Dead Girl Superstar, Going To California proves that Rob Zombie is a genius. You must hear it to believe it.

At the end, the new record of Rob Zombie stands between The Offspring and Rammstein. Last but not least, Feel So Numb reminds me Unholy and Domino of Kiss (the bass parts) and some songs are coming straight from the spirit of Alice Cooper, but written genuinely. As I said, a wonderful surprise .... that might even make your neighbors dance on it.

Ah before I go, this is metal guys ... full of industrial elements ... but it is still metal as far I as am concerned. So my only advise will be this one : before judging The Sinister Urge, go outside, listen to it and make you own "taste" of it.

Killing Songs :
all of them !!!
