This is the Misfit's second studio album.
Far less famous than either 'Walk Among Us', their debut or the much famed 'Legacy of Brutality' that followed.
It's a real gem with Danzig at his best. More melodic than 'Legacy' it features some great tracks incuding the two most famous Misfit's track 'Die My Darling'. (To hear the studio version of this is a new wave classic and worth the CD price alone) and 'Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonite', which was strangely released first as a live version on 'Walk Among Us'.
With 12 tracks nearly all under 2 minutes it is short and to the point. Don't expect a great remastered version, this is the full on garage-style production, but hey, this is punk 'US-style'. It was a one-finger salute to all the came bofore (and most that's come after).
Buy it as part of your education.

The Nihilism continues
I saw Manson live at Brixton earlier this year having not bought any of his albums since 'The Golden Age of the Grotesque'. I heard some of the new tracks at that gig and decided to give it a go.
The album is far more melodic than the his later stuff and is more similar to 'Mechanical Animals' the themes are darker and more considered. There are a few stand out tracks that you will be humming in your head on the way to work: Devour, Leave a Scar and I Want to Kill You Like They do in the Movies'.
I think this is more of a grown-up album, if I can say that. The teenagers that would have got into MM when 'Holy wood' came out are probably now in there late 20s and ready for something like this. For me, I'm just glad he's moved away from songs about teenage angst and moved back to the dark, more Nihilistic feeling of the earlier albums.
