Well lets get right down to it shall we? This is my first album review on this blog so i figured we'd start with the first album from the greatest horror punk band that has ever existed. The Misfits. The album was originally recorded in '78 but wasn't released in its entirety until '97. All because some big time record label said they had trademarks rights to then Glen Danzig's 'Blank Records' record label name. Pfft. Fuckers. This album changed the face of punk rock forever. Mixing punk and a tad bit of 50's rock music with horror themed lyrics, The Misfits spit in the face of traditional punk. This album contains some of, in my opinion, the groups most memorable tracks as well as my two favorite songs by the group; Some Kinda Hate and In The Doorway respectfully. Among those two songs She, Last Caress, and Bullet are also timeless classics with in The Misfits' legendary song list. The lyrical content contains references to classic horror films (Return Of The Fly, Teenagers From Mars) JFK's assassination (Bullet) and Marilyn Monroe (Angelfuck). This is an album that i can put on and listen from the beginning to the end. Over and over and over. They songs are catchy and somehow strangely nostalgic due to the lyrical content and 50's rock feel. If you have never heard The Misfits, after you punch yourself in the throat for being a god damn moron, run out and buy this album, on vinyl if at all possible for the most genuine sound. Trust me I'm Some Guy.
