GHOST - “Cirice” - I bought this album almost a year ago when I found it mispriced at Best Buy for $1.99. I saw Ghost a week ago in Mexico and dug out my CD which I’d really not listened to much . . . . it’s a GREAT album. I really like this band for the same reason I love a lot of Danzig’s work . . . the juxtaposition of melodic, pretty, and romantic stuff with some real dark heavy riffs and rock . . . it’s an interplay that just really makes some tasty and powerful songs. I see this band get a lot of flack on various metal boards and FB and such and I just don’t get it. They’re one of the ONLY truly fresh sounding bands that I’ve come across in a LONG time.
DANZIG IV - Well, I listen to Danzig all the time, but this album has been in my car’s player for the last couple days. It’s one of my favorites. I can listen to this album start to finish and not skip a track (unless you count the stupid 15-65 filler tracks before it gets to #66 which is Glenn doing some weird Satanic prayer thing. Anyway, this album is dark as Hell and really cool. The tracks are all so varied and uniquely different from one another. There’s crushing rock, jazz, crooning, metal . . . seriously, it’s a fun ride and I’d recommend it for any of you jerks that still don’t listen to Danzig.
Yeah,I will never understand the hate towards Ghost…I love them and can’t wait to see them down here again in November…

Love that Fad Gadget track! I just heard it for the first time last week. Been an OMD fan forever and have never heard the live in Berlin album, going to give it a listen.
Yeah, Collapsing New People is an amazing song. I was just contemplating buying the 12" a few days ago. Fad Gadget had some brilliant tracks. Taken too soon
Not here, but on FB (I guess some of the more metal-oriented sites a bit heavy on the silly true kvlt tough guys and such) they seem to get a bunch of blow back. I’ve never heard any intelligent critique, though, or anything with a good explanation. It’s more often along the lines of . . . “Those guys r fags n ur a butt fag poser 4 lyiking that fag shit”.
that said, Danzig 4 is my favorite danzg album, hands down. followed by 2, 3, 1, DRS, 666, and then i don’t really care… haha
HAHAHA!!! That’s pretty much in line with my ranking too (although I finally did start to care about the other stuff too).
Danzig 2,3,4 are always competing for first place, though and could be in any order. Danzig 1 is ALWAYS my 4th favorite, hahaha!!! It’s like the only one that is always at the same level.
