 
Rob Zombie is currently in the process of making
a brand new studio album but whilst we wait for
him to get it finished and released he has decided
to release ‘Mondo Sex Head’ an album
which is full of 13 remix songs and anyone who
has been a fan of Rob Zombie over the years will
know that this is a normal process for Rob Zombie
to put an remix album out every so often.
‘Mondo Sex Head’ features the likes
of J Devil, Photek, Jack Dangers, Crosses and
many others taking their spin on 12 classic Rob
Zombie songs and 1 White Zombie song and I have
to say that it is interesting listening to the
different remixes and comparing them to the original
version of the song as a few are a hell of a lot
different with the massive dubstep and techno
vibes running throughout.
When it comes to remix albums I have never been
a big fan as to me it just seems like some lazy
way to make for record labels and artists to make
money, obviously it’s not lazy for the people
remixing the songs as they are doing what they
do best and putting their own twist on songs that
we have already come to love but the main downside
is why would you want to hear a different approach
to a song that you have loved for say the past
ten years as the likely hood of you preferring
the remix more is very slim and the same can be
said about the last ability of ‘Mondo Sex
Head’ as I really can’t see myself
coming back to this when I want to listen to a
bit of Rob Zombie.
The best moments on the album are the remixes
of ‘Thunder Kiss 65’, ‘Dragula’
and ‘Foxy Foxy’ with ‘Foxy Foxy’
easily being the main highlight here, but then
there are songs like ‘Mars Needs Women’
and ‘Pussy Liquor’ which sound so
far from the original that you will be slightly
confused and disappointed.
I’m not really sure who ‘Mondo Sex
Head’ is aimed at but I can see hardcore
Rob Zombie fans picking the album up to add to
their collection but I can also see the album
gathering dust as quick as people picked it up,
and as far as remix albums goes ‘Mondo Sex
Head’ is alright but a release that should
never of happened.
2/5
