"It Came From N.Y.C. unearths records both unreleased and out-of-print while exhaustively telling the band's lesser-known origin story ... Listening back to White Zombie, it's interesting to consider how their music holds up in 2016 ... even more engaging than the music's heft, humor, or chaos is the narrative that forms across It Came From N.Y.C.-one of a band that played by their own rules, bucking genre conventions and cutting ties with bandmates in an effort to continuously move forward".
