Second post-Glenn studio LP. Roughly the same style as on the previous LP, and Michale is doing a good job again. The rock/metal influences are a bit stronger now, which is OK; a big problem however is the metallic production that adds a lot of reverb and moves Michale’s voice far in the back. This kind of music needs a clear, crisp, noisy production, and the voice which is a fundamental part of the whole thing has to be up front. However crappy the production of the old Misfits records was - Glenn always got THAT right. That being said, it’s still an enjoyable record, but don’t expect another “Beware” or “Walk among us”.

Zweite Studio-LP ohne Glenn; ungefähr im gleichen Stil wie die American Psycho LP, auch Michele kriegt die Glenn-Rolle wieder ganz ordentlich hin, ohne zu kopieren. Der Rock/Metal-Anteil ist etwas stärker, was erträglich ist, ärgerlich ist allerdings die Metal-Produktion, die überall ordentlich Hall draufpackt und dann Micheles Stimme ganz in den Hintergrund schiebt. Ansonsten bietet diese LP guten, melodisch-krachigen Horrorpunk mit Metal- und Hardcore-Anklängen und einem guten Sänger.
