The Misfits- "Famous Monsters"

A definate change of sound since the Danzig days, and more polished than the Micheal Graves debut disc "American Psycho"...The Misfits seem to have went into more of a "psychobilly" direction than old school punk with this album, especially with the tracks "Saturday Night" and "Scream".

Tracks to listen to-

"Forbidden Zone"
"Hunting Humans"
"Saturday Night"
"Scream"
"Helena"
I had to listen to this one quite a few times to adjust to the new sound, but ended up liking it quite a lot. Kong at the Gates is one of the best intros I've ever heard. Really gets me going when I hear it, and they had a great entrance worked up for the stage show: The Crimson Ghost opens up a cage at the bottom of CHUD's drumkit, as CHUD crawls out from underneath and climbs on top of the kit and begins to play, as the other members come on stage one by one. . .very cool.

The playing on this album is definitely stronger and tighter than on American Psycho, it's a very underrated album, imo.

Put me in with the surf and psychobilly crowd, too.
