Nice to hear, but...,

This review is from: Land of the Dead [Vinyl] (Vinyl)
"Land of the Dead" is a very paint-by-numbers song; "Twilight of the Dead" is better, but not much. In comparing this to past Misfits output (and I DO think the "new" Misfits are just as good, though different, from THE Misfits line-up that many blindly obtuse "purists" insist is the only good period, the one with Danzig...all I can say is that such people are missing out on many, many great songs!), I'd say it most closely resembles "Project 1950", and not just because of Jerry's vocals. It isn't rippingly heavy and fast like the bulk of "Famous Monsters", nor is it in the same vein as "American Psycho", though it is closer to that. It IS, in fact, reminiscent of some very old Misfits material, the more 50's-era-sounding stuff of "Static Age" and various singles. Hence, take some "Static Age", mix it with the pop sensiblities of "American Psycho", and give it the sound of "Project 1950's", and you've probably got these 2 songs. Oddly, some of the vocals sound ill-fitting and frankly off-kilter, though Jerry does an energetic and heartfelt job, as usual. The SOUND on this is terrible, not because of any production or playing faults...I blame the clear vinyl (this was the 3rd printing on green; 1st and 2nd were red then orange). I was afraid that my needle had gone bad, but no. This is really more of a collector's item, anyway, as I'm sure these will eventually surface on some future cd. Real kool kover, ALMOST 5 stars if not for the run-of-the-mill songs and sound quality. But I remain behind Misfits to the end!!!

wow this is a great ep. this is the best thing theyve done since american psycho. i hope their next album is near this good. i didnt know who was singing cuz they sounded like a proper singer, but it says its jerry only. good on him for pulling this off finally. i didnt think id ever listen to the misfits again. check it out if youve got the extra change lying around

Although it is only 2 songs, The 2009/2010 version of the MISFITS can still rock.
