I was reading Ferris' book on Reign In Blood, and it mentioned how Rick Rubin followed up Reign with "two under-heralded rock classics: the Cult's Electric (with Wallace) and the first Danzig album."
I always enjoyed the Cult-does-AC/DC album, and love the Misfits, but never paid attention to Danzig's post-Misfits work. I guess I should have, with several folks citing the first three as classics. They were all reissued last year.

I still like the 1st 3 Dangig.

I love the first three, especially How The Gods Kill. "Left Hand Black" is as good as anything he did with the `Fits, in my opinion.

the great thing about Danzig 5 is that they run his voice through a DOD distortion pedal so he sounds like an evil auctioneer, then they fired the good band he had before so there are no riffs to distract from the "I understand that White Zombie is popular but I do not understand why" backing tracks

Danzig I - IV rule and I like that Red Sabaoth one and Black Laden Crown.

feel like III is underrated

Totally. I love the title track but also "Anything" and "Sistinas" have incredible melodies

III was my least favorite at the time but I bought it again a few years back and it's great.

As a teen I loved all three of Danzig’s bands up through III, when I abruptly left most of my metal stuff behind in favor of alt/indie. Have been revisiting this era for the first time in 20 (30?) years. Danzig I still great, II still mostly great, III half great. I just put on IV, and album I’ve never heard a single note of before, expecting a precipitous drop. But actually it’s not bad at all and maybe better than III.

As Neando says slightly upthread, the first four, Deth Red Sabaoth and Black Laden Crown are all good to great. I would add that Thrall-Demonsweatlive is great if you're already a fan (I really like his version of Elvis's "Trouble"), and Live...On The Black Hand Side is a pretty good live set; most of the first disc is by the classic lineup. If you're a total diehard, The Lost Tracks of Danzig has some more otherwise unavailable material from the sessions for the first four albums.

It's October — time to listen to lots and lots of Danzig! Sing it with me: "I'm on fire and I need a hug."

So… Glenn actually lives more or less in my neighborhood - something my wife discovered while on a walk during Covid lockdown. She saw him pulling in his trash cans. And it just now occurred to me that we can trick or treat at his house.
