1.0 out of 5 stars Am I missing something?, November 27, 2007

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's good., April 4, 2008

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Monster has risen, and it's mediocre at best., May 6, 2008

I bought this cd, just to see what the new band is like. i've always been a fan of The Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig, and respected each for their individual personalities. I avoided Graves and X-Ward as those bands didn't appeal to me. However, being that I am a huge Doyle fan, I wanted to support this venture. The album has atleast 2 strong tracks, probably the first and last one. The rest are just generic "heavy, spooky" tracks. Being that this is a Danzig produced album, you can definetly see his influence on the record. Th session musician doesn't do a bad job, and I have yet to hear their new singer, so I can not pass too much judgemnt there. If you wanna support Doyle, buy the record. Maybe the next effort will be better. This one, as it stands, is a solid record, but nothing groundbreaking.
