The Misfits

I agree, Graves is irritating to listen to. Although, I do have a liking towards the song 'saturday night'.

Misfits were a really great band IMO. They were so mysterious back in the 70s and even 80s. I really like the songs about monsters and pin up girls and b movies- great 1950s themes, incredibly catchy songs.

The Misfits are my favorite punk band. So yeah I'd say I like them.

I like them, but I don't know this band very well. I bought American Psycho on an online-cd shop a few days ago and I can't wait to listen to it. Do you think I bought a good album?

No. That's the re-formed version of the band which doesn't have Glenn Danzig, who was the main creative force behind the band. The albums to check out are Walk Among Us, Earth AD, and Static Age. The best place to start with them is Walk Among Us.

Thank you for your advice. I know that in this version of the band the singer is Graves instead of Danzig but, if I have to be sincere, I don't dislike Graves.
However, I'll follow your advice, and my next purchase will be Walk Among Us, so I will be able to see the difference between the Danzig-era and the Graves-era.

It's not just the difference of a singer, Danzig was the band's songwriter.

Yes, in fact I was saying that I want to notice the differences between the two periods not for the way Danzig and Graves sing, but for the meanings, the themes and the general quality and traits of the songs, including the songwriting.

Regrouping with Danzig at Riot Fest. As for new material? Nothing worthwhile I don't think. Their stuff with Graves is bleh.
