PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE
Past, Present & Future is the first-ever Rob Zombie
retrospective. The collection is steeped both visually and aurally in
the scary monsters, sexy women, and schlock horror images that have
always adorned Zombie's
death's-head calling card; from a strictly musical standpoint, his
turgid industrial sludge and beyond-the-grave vocals benefit greatly
from the set's liberal editing. That's because Zombie has always had one fabulously filthy gear, and his pedal is always scraping the metal; Past's
19 tracks simply streamline his career's death race into one satisfying
2000-mile straightaway. "Thunder Kiss '65," "Dragula," and the
incredible, impossible, wonderfully stupid "More Human Than Human"
attack the eardrums with toxic vengeance; collaborations with Alice Cooper and Howard Stern approach the proto-industrial grind of KMFDM;
and kooky covers of "I'm Your Boogieman" and "Brickhouse" run the
originals' disco beat through a freaky fun house filled with lurid porn
samples and booty-shaking bottom end. (The latter track even pulls poor Lionel Richie into a duet with Rob and raunchy Trick Daddy protégée Trina). "Pussy Liquor" is just dumb, but again, you have to be amazed at Zombie's
ability to get away -- and even do well with -- such stupidity. After
all, behind the dreads, monster makeup, and platform boots, Zombie
is a likeable, talented creative with a flair for reinvention. Like so
much of his source material, his work isn't meant for deep contemplation
-- only chomping-at-the-bit consumption. That's why he can make it
sound like he invented the word "Yeah!" In addition to its host of past
guilty pleasures, Past, Present & Future includes two previously unreleased songs and a DVD with ten Zombie-directed music videos, three of them never before seen. Never known for his humbleness, Zombie
also designed the accompanying full-color, 36-page booklet, which
includes a bizarre photo timeline in which the Astrocreep seems to age
50 years in less than 20.
