"Sick Bubblegum" single
Released: January 12th, 2010
I was never much of a heavy metal fan. Probably because it typically lacked the melodic hooks and harmonies I was attracted to...and it made me want to flip over school buses and pummel innocent people to the ground. But then along came Rob Zombie: a death-rocker who infused his songs with catchy scream-along choruses and traditional pop sensibilities. Singles "Living Dead Girl" and "Never Gonna Stop" broke through to the mainstream and proved that metal could actually be fun. This brings us to his latest boredom of a song, "Sick Bubblegum." A tired rehashing of crunchy guitars and incoherent screaming. Typically, Zombie layers his songs with atypical instruments to the metal genre: synthesizers, tambourines, strings etc. "Sick Bubblegum" contains no surprises, no hooks, just uninspired noise.
