(More customer reviews)First off if your a huge Zombie fan then you should love this album. It seems to me that a lot of people quite don't understand his style and i understand it's not for everybody but those who do understand how his brain works will love the sequel to Hellbilly Deluxe. With that said it's also important to know that this album won't sound like the first Hellbilly because it's a different band and a different decade. I loved the Industrial stuff Zombie did in the 90's and miss it at times on his new album but when you have a guitar god like John 5 in your band you just have to use him. Another great thing about John 5 is that he brings a wide range of sounds and styles to Zombie that I find very refreshing. To me Devil's Hole Girls and the Big Revolution has a old White Zombie feel to it because of the main riff. You have a mix of heavy songs, fist pumping songs and some awesome halloween 60's groove songs like the new Michael song about Michael Myers. Everything is Boring is a song that fits nicely on the album and the chorus has been stuck in my head the past couple days. I like that the acoustic intro to Mars Needs Women is a song all by itself now so if you want you can just skip right to the beginning of the drums and the lyrics. Even the middle of The Man Who Laughs is cool because it breaks into a kind of arabian gypsy kind of guitar sound which again just shows the various styles of music John 5 can play. Essentially the Special Edition is Hellbilly Deluxe II on steroids. It has three new killer songs and the changes made have only improved the cd.
The only bummer was the dvd part. I was hoping it would include the music video to Sick Bubblegum as well as some entire live performances off the recent tour but you only get bits of it here and there in the documentary which i feel could of been better. I was hoping for a documentary that left you with the feel of what it's like to go on tour with these guys from rehearsing, to traveling and performing. Instead you get a couple cool scenes and a lot of weird stuff like slurpy machines and close ups of pouring coffee and i don't know it was just weird, I wanted more talking. Essentially just a bunch of random stuff edited together that left me wanting more.
Overall I'm very glad with this Special Edition. The album was good originally and it sounds even better now. The only improvement to me would be the the dvd features. Having just seen them during Mayhem Fest and knowing they recorded those shows I would rather of had a live concert dvd instead because that tour was epic.
