Still more human than human

At the very least, Rob Zombie deserves credit for being true to himself.\nHis creepy rock has not always been the most popular music on the market, but it's what he believes in producing and he hasn't changed it for anybody in the past 20 years.\nGreatest Hits: Past, Present, and Future features all of the songs a fan could want. From White Zombie's "More Human Than Human" to "Never Gonna Stop" from 2001's The Sinister Urge, all of the very best songs are here.\nAnd unlike a lot of other greatest hits collections, these songs have aged well. It's just as much fun rocking out to "Dragula" as it was in 1998.\nThe newer songs are the only things that really hold the album back. "Brick House 2003" from the House of 1,000 Corpses soundtrack has got to be one of the worst covers ever recorded. The two totally new songs on the album, "Two-Lane Blacktop" and "Girl on Fire" fare a bit better. It's not that they're bad songs by any means; they just don't compare particularly well to Zombie at his best.\nIt's definitely not for everyone, but for those looking for a great heavy metal compilation, this is the CD to get this fall.
