Editorial Reviews

2011 album from the Goth punks, their first full-length release of all-new, original material in nearly a decade. Rooted in the horror and sci-fi themes their audience craves, The Devil's Rain showcases 16 fiendish, soon-to-be Misfits classics. Produced by Ed Stasium, the album showcases a jaw-dropping, two-panel front/back cover painting featuring the rebirth of the band's iconic "Fiend" mascot in an epic setting rendered by Arthur Suydam. The Devil's Rain is not just a continuation of a historic legacy, it's a total reboot ushering in a new era of terror. In a sense, it's the debut album from the legendary Misfits of this decade. From fans of their classics, to newcomers discovering the band for the very first time, The Devil's Rain sets the bar, and redefines the ferocity and melody that has made the Misfits omnipresent and immortal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Underrated August 26, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Here's the deal: This album is different from other Misfits albums. Before I actually comment on the album I will list those differences:
-First and foremost, the only member of the previous incarnations still in the band is Jerry Only. He has also taken over lead singing duties.
-This album is neither punk nor heavy metal. It's more of an alternative rock style.

Only doesn't have the ferocity of Danzig or the vocal range of Graves; but he can carry a tune and the timbre of his voice is pleasant to the ear. However, the lyrics aren't as creepily comical or sinister as they were in the past. Dez Cadena's guitar riffs are less abrasive and more melodic than Doyle's. One thing I thought was missing from previous Misfits albums was guitar solos. Many of the songs were too short to have them; but Cadena adds them to the repertoire. Similarly, Eric "Chupacabra" Arce's drums are not as abrasive as Dr. CHUD's. Is he as good? Is he as bad? In reality, neither of them is Buddy Rich. He fills CHUD's shoes adequately. The songs are more laid back than the previous incarnations; but they also lack the truly catchy aspect of many previous Misfits songs. Also missing is the 1950s rock 'n roll aspect the previous albums had.

Although I personally enjoy this album, I would highly recommend listening to the samples before you purchase since it is much different from the other albums. Let's be fair, if you are looking for a fast paced, high energy punk CD or an album with distorted, obnoxious, heavy metal riffs you will be disappointed. That being said, the album is still solid, well played music even if it's not what you're expecting.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is exactly what i expected August 20, 2012
Format:Audio CD
i been following the misfits forever. from the danzig days, to the graves days and beyond. and i love both eras. and i really like this new misfits band to. i think its cool jerry only is keepin it alive. for me its fun horror punk. and listening to the project 1950 cd & land of the dead/twilight of the dead single vinyl, i dont understand what people were expecting. thats the new sound. i was expecting exactly what i got, wich is a fun horror punk album. so this misfits fan was not disappointed, and i hope jerry only and the guys continue what they are doin. havin fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Different, get over it. June 13, 2012
Format:Audio CD
I'm sick and tired of hearing all the bitching about this album, and the new Misfits for that matter. Yeah, it's not the same, yeah its not Danzig, yeah it's not as good as their older work, but seriously. Who expects the to b the same after all this time?

This album is SOLID. Jerry has obviously worked on his vocal range and style, and has improved greatly since that CRAP cover album, and what hails is a decent CD of epic music.

Maybe they should have changed their name so you "old school" fans would stop bitching about this barely different sound. Jerry is no Danzig, but Danzig is a bigot anyway.

The riffs are catchy and rough, the songs all sound different and have a face of their own. So other than the fact that it isnt 1070's Misfits, someone please enlighten me on whats wrong with this album. Please humor me.

I will even one up you Post Danzig haters by saying that Graves should have stayed. But you know, that was over a decade ago. Change. Is. Fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Misfits still Rock! July 30, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was a fan of the Danzig era Misfits as well as the Graves ers Misfits, and now I'm a fan of the Only era. I love this album overall..."The Devil's Rain", "Vivid Red", "Dark Shadows" and "Father" are all instant stand out hits. I enjoy the whole album overall- Every track is not my new favorite, but for that matter there were Danzig era tracks I didn't really care for along with the ones I loved.

3.0 out of 5 stars Misfits Mk 3 finally deliver October 4, 2011
Format:Audio CD
Recorded last year in Colorado USA The Devil's Rain is the first new Misfits studio album in 12 years & the first from the third distinct era of the band. The stunning cover art was created by Marvel Zombies cover artist Arthur Suydam and depicts the Crimson Ghost commanding the heavens and unleashing a flesh melting `Devil's Rain' in reference to the 1975 William Shatner movie of the same name.

Album opener `The Devil's Rain' is a mid paced sing-along with harmonized backing vocals built around catchy reframe of `It's pouring down it's come for you- The devils rain!' all against the backdrop of a storm. Great atmosphere but a little unsatisfying- feels like an appetizer. 2) `Vivid Red' is a classic punk track about rage with some nice `whoah's. Next up is the new version of `Land Of The Dead' this is one of the albums standout tracks and features some great guitar work from Dez. 4) `Black Hole' the title says it all. This one has a cool chorus and reminds me of something from Rocky Horror. Short but sweet. 5) `Twilight Of The Dead' is the other re-recorded 2009 track to feature on TDR. This version is less heavy compared to original but does have an awesome guitar solo. 6) `Curse Of The Mummy's Hand' is one of my favs and is presumably inspired by the 1940 Universal film `The Mummy's Hand'. This one is a slow burner with really cool lyrics and an extended guitar solo.

7) `Cold in Hell' & 8) `Unexplained' sound like M95 rejects- kinda crap. 9) `Dark Shadows' is a Ramones styled ballad Jerry describes as his home run. It's not bad but it don't really sound like a Misfits song. 10) `Father' OK this one kicks ass. A vampire song that sounds like something off American Psycho fused to a NWOBHM styled riff!
