【A PHENOMENAL COLLECTION OF MANY OF THIS LEGENDARY BAND'S GREATEST TUNES】
If you are a fan of the Misfits, then you know these are among their greatest tunes.
But, if you are a first time fiend, you should know that some of the greatest punk tunes of all time are on this record.
The record kicks off with the pounding guitar work of Jerry Only, on the fast paced tune "She".
Glenn Danzig's vocals lace through this energetic and heavy punk tune.
The heavy vibe carries through from song to song.
"Hollywood Babylon" is a slower but still energetic tune that furthers the Misfits horror film based punk sound.
Old school punk tunes are strong and vibrant throughout the record.
However, the real thing that is so mysteriously enticing about the Misfits overall sound is the finger snapping nature present within even the heaviest of their songs.
The only problem I have with this record is there is not a selection of cuts from their first and greatest record, "Static Age".
For those tunes, you'll have to pick up "Collection II".
But, looking past that factor, I have to say, this is a completely essential, completely necessary, completely phenomenal cd compilation.
It is a classic that needs to be in your loud music collection for its historical significance and sheer listenability quotient.
The Misfits are a legendary punk/hardcore band.
Luckily, you can still see Jerry and Doyle with the band on tour, and bear witness to them live.
However, for Glenn Danzig's best, this is certainly a great place to start.
I give "Collection I" a gigantic thumbs up.
This is a awesome work of punk history.
Ladies and Gentleman, put your skeleton gloves and face paint on and head into the pit.
"We're going on a witch hunt..."
This is one you really should own.
Put on those skeleton gloves, that face paint, and those big black stomping boots, head into the pit and get ready to slam the night away.!!!
