5.0 out of 5 stars Highest Possible Recomendation, October 31, 2004

This CD is a solid effort and worth every penny. The songs sound like Rob Zombie's , but that's not a bad thing. Every track on here is a winner and has a cool twisted feel to it. The cd even includes the new umixit technology that allows you to remix the song to your preference. Do your self a favor and buy this cd now. Can't wait to hear even more from Scum of the Earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocks!!!, November 29, 2004

So, what would I expect from a band with former zombie and powerman guys... less then what I got! This record brings high energy and great raw hooks. The beats are awesome. And there's something about 'Altargirl 13' that even has a super rock feel like AC/DC's "Whole lotta Rosie" or whatever that song was called. If you want to up your adrenaline level, and let your girlfriend get sexy at the same time... this cd rocks!!!

The Good
The heavy guitars and background effects on "I Am the Scum" come at you like a hungry pack of wolves. You'll notice that Riggs' vocals are similar To Rob Zombie's, but he does sound slightly different. The driving beat of "Bloodsuckingfreakshow" is enhanced by the moans of a satanic-loving devil woman. The guitar effects on "Get Your Dead On" have a funky seventies twang to them. Riggs' album up to this point treads the same ground that he did with Rob Zombie, but "Little Spider" sounds a lot different. The vocal tones are just as deep and creepy, but it's an acoustic heavy ballad (not exactly a lovey-dovey ballad).

"Murder Song" starts off with a classic horror movie clip and is followed by chunky driving riffs. "The Devil Made Me Do It" is loaded with effects, wailing guitars, and pounding drumbeats. Another ballad type song appears in "Give up Your Ghost". Instead of acoustic guitars Riggs and company utilize a sitar which gives the track a more haunting feel. This CD also has an enhanced media section. It's interesting to note it because it has a feature called `Umixit', in which you the listener can remix one of the tracks the way you want.

The Bad
"Pornstar Champion" is a horrible parody of Queen's "We Will Rock You". It even uses samples from the original, but that doesn't even save it. It's an insult to Queen.

The Verdict
I'll be the first to admit that Scum of the Earth sounds a lot like Rob Zombie, but what would you expect from his guitar player? If Rob isn't going to commit to another album you might as well have the next best thing. You won't be disappointed.
