Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The real reason for the Misfits' prolonged life-after-death is that underneath the three-chord bluster, campy imagery, and pancake makeup there are some great, catchy, pop-hook-driven tunes. Not to mention that no one can sing "whoaah-whoaaah-whoooooaaah!" like the Elvis-impersonating, golden-throated superboy Danzig. But even the most die-hard Misfits freak must surely tire of listening to version after version--7-inch take, live recording, previously unreleased demo--of two-minute punk songs like "We Are 138," "Rat Fink," "Halloween," and "Braineaters" off the bazillion bootlegs and dozen-plus authorized releases from this short-lived act. Collection II does compile some of the Misfits' most collectible vinyl artifacts, like the groovy "Cough/Cool" single. But it's recommended for fans only, who probably already own more than one copy. --Mike McGonigal Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "This day anything goes. Burning bodies hanging from poles. I remember Halloween."The first Misfits collection brought together many of the most memorable and catchy tunes from the all-time great horror-punk band's career. But that is far from being all the Misfits you need. So by popular demand: 20 more sonically gore-tastic howlers from Danzig and the boys to put you in the mood for evil. This second best-of collection features songs that have been covered by the likes of Metallica, Guns 'n Roses, and AFI, and one that was appropriately featured in Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween. So consider this CD every bit as vital as the first if you're a newcomer to the punk rock art form. And if you aren't: shouldn't you already have this? "I got something to say I killed your baby today And it doesn't ... Read More: Rating: - I prefer Collection IIIt seems most 'Fiends' prefer The Misfits Collection I better. I love it too, but I find myself listening to Collection II far more often. Now I have nothing against raw sounds and bad production, my own band has plenty of that, and I admit that the raw, unpolished sound is a large part of the Misfits charm, however, a little production can go a long way. Collection II has some of my favorite Misfits songs and the entire album sounds better overall than Collection I. 'We are 138', 'Nike a go go', 'Queen Wasp', 'Last Caress', Halloween 1 and 2', and 'Hatebredders' are in my opinion essential songs for a Fiend to have and I believe the best versions of these songs are found right here. For new Misfits fans and potential Fiends, ... Read More: Rating: - Collection IIMisfits-Collection II ***** While not quite as good as the original collection, this, collection II is still a great way to get to know The Misfits without having to go out an buy all of the classic albums that feature the classic line up with the great Glen Danzig. Once again, much like the original collection this is a great way to introduce yourself to the band or even just a great addition to a die hards collection. No this is no where are good as the original collection but this does have everything else that was left off. Collection II does contain some classic Misfits songs like the lead of track 'We Are 138.' This song is easily one of the best that the band ever recorded. 'Attitude' is another classic and easily ... Read More: Rating: - Enter Collection IIWhile not as good as Collection I, Collection II is deffidently a good buy. This collection, just like Collection I, contains songs that aren't avaliable on the studio albums, such as, Cough/Cool, Children In Heat, Rat Fink, Halloween II, Horror Hotel, and Mephisto Waltz(which was an unused Samhain song that somehow ended up on this collection). This album also contains alternate versions of Hatebreeders and Braineaters. I find these versions to be better than the originals on Walk Among Us. This collection contains some damn good Misfits songs, like We Are 138, Attitude, Cough/Cool, my personal favorite Children In Heat, Hatebreeders, Braineaters, Halloween, We Bite, Demonomania, and Bloodfeast. In fact, the only songs on this CD that I don't like ... Read More: Rating:  - a great work but...i own this album, collection 1, walk among us and static age. the production on collection 1 is horrible compared to the rest but in my opinion collection 1 has the best songs, just poor quality. danzig has an awesome voice but he doesnt sing to please everyone...he sings cuz he likes to rock out. as a misfits junkie i would recommend collection 1 first then pick up the rest (static age and walk among us). where eagles dare is still my all time fav misfits song. its vulgar but how can you not like it? |
