Well it seems like most of the posts are actually defending them. Coincidentally, one of my best friends is passing thru a white zombie obsession at the moment so Ive been overhearing their music a lot. They're a tad homogenic but I like their thing. The geeky references and how powerful some of their music sounds. Somehow I dont think it translates well into a live setting.

More Human Than Human was such a jam for teenage me. Haven't thought of this band in so long

These days I prefer Rob’s solo work to the band’s albums, which are super patchy and *incredibly* front-loaded, La Sexorcisto in particular. I like the fact that Rob has taken Steve Albini’s old line “lyrics seemed necessary, so we had some” to heart - they’re total jabbering nonsense at this point, punctuated by “Yeah” and “Awright.”

Like
make them die slowly is like trash metal and stoner metal at the same time, there was not a single point during that album where i didn't think "this is awesome"

the production even sucks in a good way

I'm willing to listen to it again — I liked the two before it, Psycho-Head Blow-Out and Soul-Crusher — but I don't remember it being entertainingly bad, just bad. But you're tuned differently than me. There's no such thing as "sucks in a good way" in my world.

it's not good but the vibe it gives off is tremendous
Spring and Summer of 1993 was La Sexorcisto time. It soundtracked an overnight road trip from PA to Ithaca to Boston with a friend. Every sample is imprinted on my brain like a tattoo.

Not yet glanced at this thread and not thought it was about Warren Zevon.
