Review of Educated Horses

A perfectly reasonable album by anyone's standards, the only knock on Educated Horses might be that since Rob Zombie ain't just anyone, some of us hoped for a profound musical rebirth. But this works too, so we're prone to forgive. This latest release from the rocker-cum-director-cum-comic-booker has some excellent moments, like the vicious, pounding Let It All Bleed Out, the slow and heavy 17 Year Locust, and the moody, lyric-free 100 Ways (which is almost trance inducing). Though as sinister as any previous Zombie effort, it's only because I respect him that I expected more.

8/10
