Reviews Customer Reviews for La Sexorcisto Devil Music Vol 1      Don't think too hard on this one      Rating:      White Zombie's 1992 album, "La Sexorcisto-Devil Music Vol. 1" was the group's first mainstream breakthrough. It introduced Rob Zombie to the world of metal, and it also (more-or-less)created a new kind of industrial metal. White Zombie mixed punk with thrash and industrial metal, and the numerous R-rated movie clips helped to add cartoonish/tongue-in-cheek overtones to the music. But "La Sexorcisto" is dragged down by very shoddy production, and music which is nothing special or complex. The downtuned guitar riffs are churning and syncopated, the vocals are deep, the drumming is simple and workman-like. Plus, most of the songs only have one riff (which is repeated for four minutes), so some tracks (like "Warp Asylum") become really quite boring. Fortunately, however, if you don't think too hard about the musicianship or songwriting, the songs become dang catchy and rather enjoyable. The two examples of this are the first track, which is backed by a strong guitar lead, and the very addictive and hooky hit single, "Thunder Kiss '65." Other highlights include the blistering, pounding fifth track ("Soul-Crusher"), the creepy "Thrust!," and the speedy, running guitar riffs and catchy, stop-start rhythm on "Grindhouse (A Go-Go)." All in all, If you have a craving for a fun, tongue-in-cheek album that rocks really hard and is sure to get your head banging, "La Sexorcisto" is definitely a worthwhile listen, but be aware of its flaws.     Customer Reviews for La Sexorcisto Devil Music Vol 1 Cd      Best Zombie By Far      Rating:      If you like Rob Zombie or at least are interested in the least this is the best of the bunch by far. Another reviewer said Thunderkiss was one of the only good songs on this CD? No way. I am Legend is KILLER and there are plenty of good songs on this CD. No real dudes here at all. I've owned Astro Creep and 2 other Zombies and none come remotely close to this one. Great CD for a Zombie CD. Editorial Reviews for La Sexorcisto Devil Music Vol 1 Audio Cd      Amazon.com      The title of White Zombie's first mainstream success promises some good, trashy fun, and boy does this album deliver. White Zombie is not a nihilistic, the-world-is-rotten heavy metal band; on the contrary, one doubts that they're in danger of taking anything too seriously, and the humor is audible in every riff. La Sexorcisto is rife with distorted guitars, snippets of dialogue from horror movies, and songs about fast cars ("Black Sunshine"), loose women ("Grindhouse (A-Go-Go)"), and the generally weird. Don't think about it too hard; sit back, relax, pop a cool one and crank up the stereo until it shakes your ceiling. -- Genevieve Williams
