Electronica Zombie, May 5, 2006
The gathering of three Industrial Rock powerhouses - Rob Zombie, Rammstein & Charlie Clouser (from NIN fame) - might produce what? More Industrial Rock?
No. Actually, british techno/electronica stylings are written all over these tracks. For example:
Track #1 (Dragula) is Big Beat meats Rob Zombie; sort of a heavier version of the Prodigy ("Firestarter" comes to mind). A slightly modified version of this track appeared on the "Matrix" soundtrack.
Track #3 (How to Make a Monster) is Big Beat again; this time around, it has a more hip-hopish, Chemical Brothers feel to it.
Track #7 (The Ballad of Ressurrection Joe) sounds like trip-hop to me ears.
Track #8 (What Lurks on Channel X?) has shades of the Prodigy's "Smack my Bitch Up", starting when the verse kicks in.
Track #11 (Superbeast, mix #2) is an interesting drum n' bass version of this song. Actually, I prefer it than the original version. No wonder that's the version used on the "Superbeast" video.

A very interesting remix album!, October 26, 1999
By A Customer
This album contains remixes of the songs on Hellbilly Deluxe. It came wtih a nice soft case, well decorated with Rob's art, as well as photos from live performances. I liked most of the remixes, although I liked the "Hot Rod Herman" remix of "Dragula" from the Matrix soundtrack than the one included on this album. Although the original album already had a techno sound to it, "American Made Music to Strip By" has its own original sound. This is an album every Zombie fan should have.

Awsome Cd but not necessarily heavy, September 28, 2000
This Cd rocks. It is an awsome mix of techno and metal. It definately is not as heavy as Hellbilly Deluxe. They are on the same level though. Only 1 or 2 songs lack the charm of the original. Dragula, How to make a Monster, Both Superbeasts, spookshow baby & living dead girl are as good as the originals or better. The Dragula re-mix definately takes the cake as the most well done re-mix on the cd. If you liked the heavy creepy feeling of the original don't get it, but if you like metal-techno this is the cd to get.
