 Surprisingly minimalist package from purveyors of excess November 25, 2008
24 out of 26 found this review helpful
Man, I hate to admit it, but I am disappointed with Let Sleeping Corpses Lie.
Ironically, I wasn't expecting much in terms of content and am pleased to have a partial "one-stop shop" for White Zombie's records (all studio records are here with soundtrack and tribute album one-offs, but remix eps, for example, are nowhere to be found). I knew what I was getting, track-wise, and cannot complain. For the newbie, much of this stuff has been hard to come by (fans in the 90s could still get Make Them Die Slowly in record stores but the first albums were generally findable only via bootlegs (albeit decent ones)). The noisy scumrock left many of the neophytes turned on by La Sexorcisto-Devil Music Vol. 1, frankly, turned off and many were perfectly happy to accept the Geffen debut as an alternative starting point. These early tracks sound great here and are cool to have in "official form."
What I am so sorely diappointed with is the package. The "fondlability and fetishability factor," to misquote Frank Zappa. White Zombie has been almost as much about the image and artwork as the music and the buyer is left swindled. I recall a radio interview in 1995 or so promoting Astro Creep: 2000 -- Songs of Love, Destruction, and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head in which Rob spoke about how much the band enjoyed giving the fans a complete package that included stickers, posters, etc. Here we get a small, sepia digipak with some artwork, all in the same tone, none in color, no lyrics, no notes from the band members or critics, no complete historical articles, no original cover art, NOTHING. We get something nice to load into iTunes and then file onto the shelf. I was so looking forward to tearing this sucker open and spending an afternoon reading through its book - now I guess I'll re-watch The Devil's Rejects (Unrated Widescreen Edition) instead.
With most bands, substance trumps style every time. With a band like White Zombie, they're intertwined. And while nice to have all the tunes (and a killer DVD) in one place, this cannot help but feel like a product rushed to market for Christmas that forgot a lot about its fanbase in the process.
More of a collectors item for devoted fans. November 24, 2008

Couldn't even believe it was out already. I'm a die hard white zombie/rob zombie fan and have been awaiting this release for some time. It was an unexpected surprise when I spotted this for sale earlier today. I've been checking Rob's website monthly to see a release date.
Anyways basically it's worth it more as a collectors item, but had a little buyers remorse after. I've owned the earlier white zombie records and trust me they're not something you're going to listen to for pleasure. Some songs sound like a garage band playing for the first time. The rest of the cd is some soundtrack songs mixed with the rest of the white zombie collection.
DVD is pretty solid.
I guess I personally had higher expectations.
Disappointing. November 27, 2008
8 out of 11 found this review helpful
Preface: I am a HUGE White Zombie fan, and have been looking forward to this box set for years. As far as the quality of the music contained herein, this set gets a 5 out of 5.
1. Omissions. The set contains no remixes, which is neither surprising nor disappointing, since White Zombie's remixes were done by outside personel and, quite honestly, were never as good as the original recordings. Strangely, though, "Black Friday" and "Dead or Alive" are omitted from this set (maybe because they were only on the cassette version of "Gods on Voodoo Moon"?). Songs like "Star Slammer" which were previously recorded but never before released are also AWOL on the box set. What a shame.
2. Redundancy. La Sexorcisto and Astro Creep are contained, in their entirety, on Discs 3 and 4 (respectively). Anyone who's a big enough White Zombie fan to shell out this kind of money for the box set already has the two albums, both of which are owned by millions of fans across the world. Rob knows this, but included them anyway. Why? So he could justify a higher price tag? I feel like a moron for paying for something I already own.
3. Aesthetics. The packaging is very, very disappointing. Back in the day, Geffen declined to front the money to give Astro Creep the kind of elaborate booklet that Rob wanted. So, what did he do? He spent a big chunk of change out of his own pocket to give the album the kind of treatment it deserved. Sadly, Rob seems to have gotten miserly in his old age. The set's packaging is in the form of a compressed fold-out digipack. The booklet (which is in the form of a standard CD booklet, not an actual book, as I had hoped) is uninteresting and offers neither liner notes nor lyrics. This really caught me by surprised, as this is what usually makes box sets distinct from the rest of a band's catalogue. Rob really didn't come through on this.
In summary:
1. It's incomplete.
2. It has stuff you already have.
3. It doesn't look as nice as it could have.
BUT!
4. The music is great, and the quality of all the old pre-Sexorcisto tracks has been cleaned up a little bit.
Oh, and the DVD is good too, although the videos for Boogieman and One curiously omit clips from the films in which they were featured (licensing issues, perhaps?).
All in all, the good outweighs the bad. Buy it.
Disappointing box set December 1, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
For me personally, White Zombie was one of the absolute best bands to ever grace my ears. I'm not as a big a fan of Rob's solo material, and to this day will take White Zombie over just about anything that Rob puts out himself. Despite the fact that I figured there wouldn't be too much included with the "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" box set, I looked forward to it regardless. Sadly, it does prove disappointing in some respects, mainly due to the fact that there is so much that should be here, but is missing instead. Old releases that we didn't have access to before unless through a bootleg is a nice touch, as are songs from soundtracks ("The One", "Feed the Gods") and tributes (the excellent cover of Black Sabbath's "Children of the Grave"). Naturally, "La Sexorcisto" and "Astro Creep 2000" are included in their entirity, but the overall package here just feels incomplete, and it isn't because the various remixes aren't included either. It just feels like there should be more included here; we all know that it's out there, but why wasn't it included? The included DVD is solid however, while the included "book" is hardly anything to write home about. All in all, "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" isn't a bad collection, and will more than likely be picked up by White Zombie devotees, but in the end, the ball got dropped putting this package together.

Let me start out by saying I am one of the many die hard fans of rob Zombie and white zombie. I became a fan when Astro creep was released and have made it my personal mission to own it all. I had the two studio albums and they were stolen at one point. I only replaced La sexorsisto. I heard about this project two years ago on Robs web site and started drooling at the chance to own everything. Yes I have read other reviews and there may be a song or two not on here but Rob said it would be everything White zombie and he must not have felt that was their best work. The DVD is worth it and it was nice to get my stolen album back with the Black Sabbath cover and other soundtrack and rarities. For anyone who is a fan of White zombie this is worth the price. For those that maybe fans only because they liked Robs solo career it might not be everything they are looking for. The early stuff sounds nothing like rob now nor in the last two albums of white zombie. It was great to hear it again on cd instead of copied cassette that I got from a friend of a friend. The booklet could have been more in depth but I liked it just the same. I didn't buy it for the packaging. I bought it for the music and that fact it is everything I have been wanting for a long time.
I will stand by this release and recommend it to any White Zombie fan. I can only hope Rob does it for his solo stuff as well because even thought I own every album he has done I would buy them again in box set form. Rock on and enjoy.
