Educated Horses, Rob Zombie's third solo album, hit the streets on Geffen on March 28, 2006, though plenty of fans heard it early: a streaming listening party on MP3.com days before release sent advance copies flying across the file-sharing networks. The title reaches back to Zombie's childhood, when his family worked the carnival and circus business and dragged him along; among the attractions, the trained animals billed as educated horses stuck in his memory.
Scott Humphrey produced, and it's the first Zombie record with guitarist John 5 and drummer Tommy Clufetos, and the last with bassist Blasko until The Great Satan in 2026. The sound is grimier and swampier than the industrial stomp of old, with "American Witch" grinding like a horror-movie chain gang, "Foxy Foxy" strutting pure sleaze and "Let It All Bleed Out" hammering home the menace. It made the top 10 of the Billboard 200, though it sold less than the albums before it.
