unofficial reissue - Famous Monsters boasted a heavier instrumental sound which added a powerful depth that packed a memorable punch, proving that the Misfits hadn’t lost all of their teeth when Danzig left. They were able to create walls of sound that were able to go from energetic, driving riffs to intense, foreboding soundscapes depending on the story being told. The arrangements were simple but played with a complexity that made them sound like a cohesive unit whose goal was to draw you into their world of monsters and never let you go. The songs flow from one to the next seamlessly without blending together, even though some use similar arrangements they are distinct enough to stand on their own. The vocal delivery throughout showcased Graves’ great vocal range through powerful soaring notes that were so powerful you could feel coursing through you. His voice isn’t monotone and moves fluidly up and down throughout the album which added another layer of definition to the songs and kept your attention which made you feel more engaged and like you were a part of the songs.
