There are still some growing pains that can be heard but it does seem to be a step in the right direction that could potentially interest those who have been out of the loop. This can best be seen in Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р•вЂњRevelation RevolutionР“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р’Сњ and Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р•вЂњThe Girl Who Loved The MonstersР“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р’Сњ as they both channel the Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р•вЂњDragulaР“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р’Сњ sound with their dance beats, building verses, and party friendly choruses. On the other end, this album does manage to bring back the industrial influence that had been thoroughly abandoned since the days of The Sinister Urge. The band also stays in their set roles as the album continues to be defined by obscure samples, John 5Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћs clunks, a solid percussive foundation, and RobР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћs distorted calls to arms. Most of the songs on here are executed in the garage metal swagger that was established two albums prior and the horror-erotica lyrics are as ridiculous as their titles would lead you to expect. But there are a few subtle changes afoot if events like the hiring of former Marilyn Manson drummer Ginger Fish and the move to a self-run label are anything to go by.Р”Р‡or the most part, you could describe this as a somewhat Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р•вЂњtypicalР“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р’Сњ Rob Zombie album. The somewhat awkwardly titled Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor is his first album to come out in three years, a downright blur by Zombie standards when you also consider the release of the long delayed Lords of Salem film. Review Summary: The real Hellbilly Deluxe 2Р”Р„s if 2010Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћs Hellbilly Deluxe 2 wasnР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћt enough of an indicator, it seems like Rob Zombie has gotten complacent with how things are looking in his music career.
