I'm going to keep this short. The vocals. They suck. Bad. I mean if you are a misfits fan at all you cannot say you will immediately like this. I myself was hoping that Doyle's return to music would be better than this wad of poo. It really sounds like bad wrestling metal and the singer sounds like a poor man's Phil Anselmo (I'm not a Pantera fan by the way). I heard a demo of the Beautiful Frankenstein track with Michale Graves on vocals and it actually sounded great. This album reminds me of why Danzig 6-8 sucked. There is just nothing exciting about this. Now there is hope: The guy who sang on this record is already gone from the band lol. Goolsby from Blitzkid is playing bass in the band and Blitzkid is probably the best thing to happen to Horror rock/punk since The Misfits themselves so hopefully with Goolsby's influence they will get a better singer and write better songs. Hell, even Blitzkids drummer is in this band now! Skip this and get a Blitzkid cd PLEEZ!

Well, to put it to you simply, Gorgeous Frankenstein sounds alot like Danzig's heavier stuff. The vocals I thought were pretty good, while Frankenstein did put together some pretty good riffs. Oh, and Glenn Danzig produced this album. If you like Danzig's latest recordings (666 satan's child, circle of snakes) than you should enjoy Gorgeous Frankenstein.

This album is awful. I like Doyle for his work in The Misfits and Kryst the Conqueror, but this is just terrible. The opening track, "Gorgeous Frankenstein" sounds like a complete rip-off of "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" by The Misfits and the psychobilly track "Speed Witch" sounds like a high school garage band is discovering their sound by just tossing chords into a friggin blender! I like Doyle and I love The Misfits, but this belongs in the file called "all time worst ideas" right beside Dr. Chud's X Ward.

This is not an album created by musicians with 20 years in the business. This is a hopeful "hook" to drag Misfits fans away. It's a pissing contest between Jerry and Doyle and Doyle lost BIG TIME! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CD!!!!! MAY GF REST IN PEACE......sorry, Doyle...
