The production was bigger and cleaner, but vocally Danzig is much cleaner and pronounced than Graves. Part of the reason that those old Misfits recordings have retained charm over time is that Danzig's vocal takes were outstanding, often times without an audible flaw, and that's over chicken scratch distortion and drums, depending on when it was recorded.
All in all, old Misfits has an everlasting nostalgic charm. The vocal melodies themselves on those recordings are infectious.
