Over the course of three albums, White Zombie gradually left behind their noise rock leanings to become that metal band you could dance to at your local rock club. According to J. Yuenger – their fifth guitarist by 1989 – this evolution wasn't by accident, either.
"The change in sound and attitude began well before I joined," Yuenger told Revolver. "When I met them, they were adamant about becoming a ‘real’ metal band. They didn’t want to become more normal, but they did want to be more accessible, to play to a wider audience."
