"More Human Than Human" was the first official single from White Zombie's 1995 album Astro-Creep: 2000, and it's the band at their most streamlined: a grinding, strutting riff built for maximum head-nod and Rob Zombie growling his way through it like a sideshow barker.
Rob Zombie wrote the lyrics and shares the music credit with Sean Yseult and Jay Yuenger, and Terry Date produced it with the band, recorded it with Ulrich Wild and mixed it himself. Yuenger's guitar is thick and crunching, Yseult's bass rumbles underneath, and John Tempesta's drums pound with metronomic swagger. It's heavy metal with a dance-floor pulse, the kind of groove that made White Zombie sound like nobody else in 1995.
The song has had a long life beyond the album: it turns up on Rob Zombie's Past, Present & Future and on the greatest hits set The Best of Rob Zombie, and a remix appears on Supersexy Swingin' Sounds.
