 |  | My favorite Misfits album. |  |
If you told me the last track "American Nightmare" was an Elvis song and I didn't know any better, I'd believe you. The Misfits got me into punk music (old punk) and remain one of my favorite bands of all time.

I bought this CD before the Static Age album was available. Some of my favorite Misfits songs are on here. "Static Age", "TV Casualties", "Bullet", "Angelf**k", and "Who killed Marilyn" are staples in every Fiends collection. If you do not have the Static Age album, this is a great album to get. If you already have Static Age, you may still want to pick this up. Fans have said the songs on this album are more raw, it is true. This is what the Misfits sounded like when they got 30 free hours in a studio when they gave up their rights to the 'Blank Records' name. A smart move by Glenn. Otherwise these songs may never have been recorded except for bootlegs at live shows or garage recordings.
The only other thing I can say is, if you spend a lot of time driving and delivering pizzas like I do, this is a great CD to play.
May 25, 2007was kinda dissappointed with this one in comparison to walk among us and collection 1. who killed marilyn and amaerican nightmare are so-so songs...some of them are just plain bad. he likes to re-hash songs too; notice static age and tv casualty and alot of other songs are thrown around plenty on different albums. i would say for the casual listener pick up collection 1 first (the best in my opinion) and then grab walk among us and static age (mainly for last caress and in the doorway) and you should be good to go.
July 25, 2006| | | much better than static age! | |
this is definately a much more attractive of a listen than static age for many reasons...it is more raw, has a better track listing, and i would assume this is what they really sounded like on vinyl and what not. i would definately pick halloween, where eagles dare, american nightmare, and who killed marylan over the songs they were replaced by one static age....if you are too much of a tight wad to get this and static age, get collection 2 and this...well along with earth AD and walk among us...collection 1 is a good investment too!..i only recommend the graves era to misfits die hards and ones who already know danzig.
June 15, 2006Tthe misfits are an awesome punk band. They are the ones who started punk! In fact, LOB is their best album ever. The main singer is Glenn Danzig, who has a badass voice, probably the most badassed one ever.
