Look i kow the Supernatural is something that is supposed to happen, but it does happen....
7 Nov 2008
Format:Audio CD
For many this box-set is long overdue. White Zombie were for me one of the greatest bands the early 90's metal scene produced, and their debandment shortly after releasing Astro-Creep 2000 and the remix CD made me wonder if anyone could fill that void.
At the time, Astro-Creep had seemed such a huge success, and I hungered to hear how they would top it, but sadly history did not play out that way.
This set comprises all Studio recordings, including the Soul Crusher & Make Them All Die Slowly albums that have been very difficult to track down for those of us without unlimited funds, so its great to have them all complied here together, and the bonus of odds n sods such as the Sabbath cover "Children of the Grave" "Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks & Cannibal Girls" is fantastic.
The remixes however do not feature, and yes we probably all own Super Sexy Swinging Sounds, but other old remixes such as the KMFDM mixes from the ep arent here.
The DVD is terrific, although i havenet watched it yet, i did see on the youtube trailer some footage from Donnington Monsters Of Rock 1995, at least it looked like that.
The only reason why i have only rated this 4 stars is the overall package of the box-set itself. The Slayer & Megadeth boxsets both came with really nice designs, the embossed ammo box for Megadeth and Slayers big ammo box with flag, blood pouch etc, but most importantly, they have books in them. Maybe i am just a bit of a nerd, but i like to read about the band, and most other box sets i own all have a biography or the bands history, some of these are fantastic and talk about studio sessions for each album, such as the Sabbath Black Box, and you get a real insight into what made the band tick, and learn more about our revered heroes.
Although Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, does have a booklet, its just full of sepia tone photos and little else other than a track listing, which i was a little disappointed with. I had hoped that i might spend this eveing tucked up in bed reading a potted history of white zombie penned by Rob, Sean, J etc, but sadly no. which for me is a real shame.
All things considered though, this is still a fantastic set, and well worth the money, I guess we have been spoiled by other really well produced boxsets, and maybe White Zombie weren't deemed to be as popular and so a bigger budget wasnt put together for its release, who knows....

I'm reviewing this again as the last time I moaned that you had to pay a lot and get the last two albums you probably already had,again.
I got it and now I'm happy.The old ep stuff dating from 1985,is great.I'm happy to shell out just for the psycho head blowout ep from 87,included here and then there's the first album which I still haven't heard yet.
I love it.The earlier stuff is mainly noise rock,with frankenstein on drums and the creature from the black lagoon playing some crampsy twisted blues and the wolfman attemting to sing.Now I see how nirvana were influenced by the early wz on bleach,they had the same thudding primitivism at work.
Anyway I got it a bit cheaper,£35,and it's well worth it.The packaging is ok,lots of zombie drawings and some period pictures of a fresh faced rob zombie (hard to believe)and band members.I haven't even watched the dvd either.I would have liked the original album artwork but it's still good.Now I say it's a great package.

Disappointing.
27 Nov 2008
Format:Audio CD
Preface: I am a HUGE White Zombie fan, and have been looking forward to this box set for years. As far as the quality of the music contained herein, this set gets a 5 out of 5.
1. Omissions. The set contains no remixes, which is neither surprising nor disappointing, since White Zombie's remixes were done by outside personel and, quite honestly, were never as good as the original recordings. Strangely, though, "Black Friday" and "Dead or Alive" are omitted from this set (maybe because they were only on the cassette version of "Gods on Voodoo Moon"?). Songs like "Star Slammer" which were previously recorded but never before released are also AWOL on the box set. What a shame.
2. Redundancy. La Sexorcisto and Astro Creep are contained, in their entirety, on Discs 3 and 4 (respectively). Anyone who's a big enough White Zombie fan to shell out this kind of money for the box set already has the two albums, both of which are owned by millions of fans across the world. Rob knows this, but included them anyway. Why? So he could justify a higher price tag? I feel like a moron for paying for something I already own.
3. Aesthetics. The packaging is very, very disappointing. Back in the day, Geffen declined to front the money to give Astro Creep the kind of elaborate booklet that Rob wanted. So, what did he do? He spent a big chunk of change out of his own pocket to give the album the kind of treatment it deserved. Sadly, Rob seems to have gotten miserly in his old age. The set's packaging is in the form of a compressed fold-out digipack. The booklet (which is in the form of a standard CD booklet, not an actual book, as I had hoped) is uninteresting and offers neither liner notes nor lyrics. This really caught me by surprised, as this is what usually makes box sets distinct from the rest of a band's catalogue. Rob really didn't come through on this.
In summary:
1. It's incomplete.
2. It has stuff you already have.
3. It doesn't look as nice as it could have.
BUT!
4. The music is great, and the quality of all the old pre-Sexorcisto tracks has been cleaned up a little bit.
Oh, and the DVD is good too, although the videos for Boogieman and One curiously omit clips from the films in which they were featured (licensing issues, perhaps?).
All in all, the good outweighs the bad. Buy it.

Great compilation!

This is a great box set that has been a long time in the making. It covers all of White Zombies from their early days all the way up to the end and also includes alot of the B-Sides and songs from soundtracks that they did.
The early stuff might take a little getting used to, but overall I really like this set and would recommend it to any White Zombie fan.

Amazing considering it's restrictions
13 Dec 2008
Format:Audio CD
This box set is the grand finale for everything White Zombie. Overall I'm very pleased. Granted there isn't much along the road of extras, but White Zombie is a band that makes music and that's what you get... the music. Considering the restraints Rob Zombie had while making this, no communication with the rest of the band and little time, I thought it was an exceptional effort. For those who are complaining about the included material this article, http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/rob_zombie_i_find_it_distracting_to_hear_my_own_music.html , should explain much. All in all, a great effort from Rob Zombie and an amazing buy for White Zombie fans.
