"Fencing diamonds, fixing cockfights / Publishing indecent magazines / You'll pay for every crime / Knee-deep in electric slime"

Robot Hell is a very fun song. Is it a good song? Eh, not really. There are five different singers in this song, and having the Beastie Boys as themselves don't make up for the other four. It's hard to explain (at least with me not having much actual knowledge of music theory), but the lyrics don't seem to match up to the rhythm, with the weirdly emphasized meter and the voice singers (Robot Devil, primarily) seeming to struggle to keep up with the tempo.

It is fun though, and serves as a solid introduction to the Robot Devil. He likes to torture sinners, and takes specific enjoyment in thinking of creative ways to do so. It's not the deepest portrayal of the devil ever, but the back and forth shooting down Bender's complaints adds to it. It's another one that falls in the middle as far as evil goes; yes, he likes to torture robots, but he does so mostly as punishment for the crimes those robots have personally done, not just randomly out of malice, and the tortures he suggests are particularly cartoonish and silly.
