CoronaVinyl Day 142 (Longest Album Title): The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser by Rob Zombie

For an explanation of CoronaVinyl, click here.
Today's CoronaVinyl category is "longest album title," and that distinction goes to Rob Zombie's 2016 album The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser.  I don't remember exactly what prompted me to get this album, but I do know that it came with a cool 3-D album cover -- autographed by Rob Zombie himself -- that was on top of the actual album cover.  I have the autographed 3-D cover framed and hanging in my Rock and Roll Staircase.

The album was Zombie's sixth solo studio album, and it went to #6 on the Billboard album chart, meaning that all of his solo albums have been in the Top 10.  The album is kind of a concept album about monsters and aliens, and musically, it's the exact kind of industrial and groove metal with B-horror movie quotes mixed in that you would expect out of Rob Zombie.  In addition to the album having a ridiculously long title, many of the songs do too.

Favorite song from Side 1:  "Well, Everybody's Fucking in a U.F.O."
This sounds like something someone would say as truth when they're really stoned.  Regardless, it's a funny, catchy metal song that kind of reminds me of Primus.

Favorite song from Side 2:  "In the Age of the Consecrated Vampire We All Get High"
This just sounds like a classic Rob Zombie or White Zombie song.  Plus, it's got a great title, even if I'm not sure how a vampire becomes consecrated or why that means we all get high.
