Curated Choice｜ Other Products ｜Misfits: Famous Monsters (Music On Vinyl 180g, Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

Famous Monsters is the the 5th studio album from Misfits.The second one post departure of singer and founder Glenn Danzig, the 18-tracker is propulsive, straight forward punk, with beefy guitar, pulsating bass, and pounding drums backing up Michale Graves vocals. The horror and sci-fi influences run abound, of course. Check out the shocking and/or hilarious "Helena": "If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs / Would you still love me anyway?" In addition to the deranged songwriting, the tempo pick-up at the midpoint of the song is exhilarating. "Saturday Night" is also twisted, yet imaginative, as Graves, in his best attempt at a ballad, laments the fact that he had something to tell his girlfriend, right after killing her. It's a fun, energetic ride throughout, a solid collection of punk rock that showcases the band charging on, despite Danzig's exit that had casted doubt in a lot people's minds. Other highlights include: "Scarecrow Man," "Scream," and "Forbidden Zone."
