iTunes Review

When Collection was released on Caroline in 1986, three years after the dissolution of the original Misfits, it was the first step in confirming the band’s posthumous legacy. Punk rock prided itself on individualism, and the Misfits’ blend of hooks, humor, and horror movie attitude was completely original. Beginning with the band’s earliest 1978 sessions at New York City’s C.I. Recording and ending with a batch of the band’s final recordings from 1983, Collection offers a back alley tour of a band who released just two official LPs during its tenure. While Walk Among Us and Earth A.D. are great albums, the Misfits were a singles band at heart and their best work was non-album tracks like “Die, Die My Darling,” “Where Eagles Dare,” and “Teenagers From Mars.” Most bands tend to soften as they grow up, but Collection shows the Misfits becoming more aggressive and abrasive towards the end of their career, as attested by “Earth A.D.” and “Green Hell,” two tracks from the 1983 sessions. Though Collection actively refuses the rock nerd’s need for completion, this somewhat arbitrary compilation has endured because it hangs together like a well-crafted album. Diehard fans still regard this as the primary introduction to the inimitable world of the Misfits.

Customer Reviews

Coming from a diehard Misfits fan
     

This is HANDS-DOWN the most essential Misfits album that you can buy. This album lets you see every side of the Misfits, from the early, slower, more melodic songs (Although Legacy of Brutality is a better reflection of that side), to the middle era faster, yet still melodic songs (I Turned Into a Martian, etc.) to the outright brutality of their later years (Wolfsblood, etc.). Unfortunately, this lacks a few key songs, but Collection 2 handles that. To newcomers, I suggest buying this album, giving it time to grow on you, moving on to Collection 2 and going from there.

A great place to start
     

This was the first Misfits album I ever heard. I instantly fell in love with it. If you're new to The Misfits this is an excellent place to start. All of the songs are great. I was quite shocked years later when I bought the box set and read the lyrics. I couldn't always tell what Danzig was saying, WOW! Talk about a guy whose not afraid to tell how he feels. I always wondered how this flew under the radar of Tipper Gore's filthy fifteen back in the 80's. This is great music though and Danzig sounds like a cross between Jim Morrison and Elvis. I also find it funny that Vans used their song American Nightmare in one of their commercials a few years ago. Another case of not understanding the lyrics I guess.

yes!
     

this is the best thing since sharpies!!!!!!

Genuinely shocking or tasteless, campy fun? It was sometimes hard to tell which way the Misfits wanted to be taken, and the immense cult following that has grown up in the years after their actual existence (1977-1983) seems divided in its own assessment. It certainly wasn't the Misfits' musicianship — which was as crude as the recording quality of most of their oeuvre — that endeared them to so many, although Glenn Danzig possessed one of the most distinctive and tuneful bellows in hardcore...
