White Zombie - Astro-Creep: 2000 -- Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head





Who:  White Zombie

What:  Final LP from the legendary horror/comic book/junk culture/sci-fi metal band.

When:  April 1995

Where:  New York City

Why:   After five years on the Geffen death star, wicked in-fighting spells doom for a band at the height of its fame.

[The Radness Average (or star rating) is derived from assigning each song a number of stars based on a 1-5 scale, then adding the total number of stars, and then dividing that number of total stars by the number of songs on the record. A Radness Average of 4.0 or higher indicates a good or great record. A Radness Average of 2.0 or less indicates pure crap. Everything else is in the middle somewhere.]
