    Fun, wild, and addictive, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy builds upon 2016's already-impressive Electric Warlock and winds up being one of Zombie's best.

    As with most of the LP, the instrumentation and lyrics are equal parts memorable and evil. Let’s face it, memorable and evil are two traits any fan would want from a Rob Zombie album.

    The Lunar Injection… is too long and could easily be trimmed of material most diplomatically described as ​‘non-essential’, particularly the little instrumentals/sample-laden wig outs between tracks. The rub is, of course, that these short sonic mood boards are often the bits where Zombie tries something new.

    With a hackneyed focus on forcibly juxtaposing several random styles into their main rock sound, the stupidly long track names, and the uninspired hard rock instrumental work we get on here, essentially the album comes across as a tasteless meme.

    Offers the same disco-metal dreck he's been peddling for 30 years. [Mar 2021, p.73]

Not only do you still have the outstanding chemistryRob's most ambitious album yet as it turns out is also his most interesting by far. Not only do you still have the outstanding chemistry between Zombie, John 5, Piggy D, Ginger fish and producer Zeuss but now you have that chemistry fueling a crazed concept album about the birth, corruption, disintegration and eventual death of a universe filled with both monsters and madness.
    Keep up the great work guys!     … Expand

Yet, where the biggest evolution in Rob’s music comes from is his approach to sex. Although still prevalent as much as other common topics (i.e. drugs, violence, satanism), the lyrics aren’t as explicitly demeaning towards women. Trust me, in 2021, this is progress.… Expand

    I guess I have to face the awful truth that Rob Zombie peaked (for myself) nearly 20 years ago with The Sinister Urge. Since that time hisI guess I have to face the awful truth that Rob Zombie peaked (for myself) nearly 20 years ago with The Sinister Urge. Since that time his albums seem to be more about the imagery and art surrounding the music rather than the music itself. I’ve watched it happen to many bands over the years. Korn, Marilyn Manson, and Tool are a few that come to mind instantly. They standardized their sound, and even though you can listen to the new music by these bands, you can tell they’re just going through the motions, or at the very least have lost that raw edge that attracted people to them in the first place. And that can’t be replaced. But in regards to this album specifically; I must say it’s not a total disaster, but basically on par with his last album from 2016. I expected so much more after a nearly five year wait. And with everything the world has been going through in the past year, I was hoping for something that felt more genuine, more real. This was really his time to shine, and instead we got basically just another typical Zombie album like we’ve had for the past 15 years. There was really no surprises anywhere to be found on this album. I hear elements of Sinister Urge here and there. But it just sounds so forced. Something is off. He’s trying to be trippy and heavy, but it’s not coming across like it should. It feels pretty empty. I feel like this is a consumer product not a piece of musical artistry. So basically it’s a standard Zombie album of the post 2006 era. There’s 3-4 songs on it that are decent. Not great but ok. I’ll still go see his concerts because damn they’re fun, but this album will be quite quickly forgotten I think.… Expand

    It is not an album that presents something new, it plays with the same sounds and there is no innovation.

While I respect this artist and what he brought to the table, there is a time that a person needs to take a very long term break. Sorry Rob, it's true.
