Skeletons purple/black splatter

This release was a project I approached with caution. I head the cover of N.I.B. And was appalled. I can now say that is the only dud on the whole record. First to last omitting N.I.B. We're flawless. You can tell this isn't a polished big record company push album, and it reflects the simple rawness beautifully. Buy this album! You will be suprised.

I went into Danzig's new album with low expectations. A covers album is rarely good; hit-and-miss at best. I'm pleasantly surprised. It is better than half his solo output. I am most surprised by how consistent the songs are from one to the next, stylistically. I like the production: a bit raw, but not forced. Most of the songs are rare enough, at least for me, that I don't have to constantly think about how the original was better, etc.Two critiques: 1) While I have much respect for Tommy Victor and feel strongly that he has carried Danzig for the past nearly 10 years, particularly live, he is not a good match for this material. John Christ would have been killer on this, or really any decent bluesy metal guitarist. 2) Danzig sounds like he struggled with some of the vocal pieces. I had this same critique of his last album. Maybe he needs more cardio. Oh, and one more: A Black Sabbath cover? Please. WAY overdone and boring, though he didn't do a bad job and it features a raging Victor solo.I give it a solid 7/10.

Glenn Danzig has always been a favorite of mine.The deep roaring vocals he has produced over the years that have left goosebumps are unforgettable. Skeletons is extremely raw in sound and vocals. It's not a polished as many studio albums are. This is exactly why I love it. Almost as if it were live. The weakest track is NIB not because it is bad, but the original was long and drawn out too(love Ozzy love the song. No hating). If you were ever a fan of The Misfits, Samhain or Danzig (bands in which Glenn Danzig sang in), then you will love this Album. This has a mix and crossover of all three.

It's cool he decided to pay homage to some of his favorite songs/songs that inspired him; but really the effort isn't up to par, the energy isn't there. Maybe it's the choice of songs, but only die-hard Danzig fans will really get much out of this one. (like myself).

I'm a huge Danzig fan. Unfortunately these cover songs didn't really do too much for me. I appreciate them and Danzig belts them out like only he can. However, I was really hoping for a return to the sounds of his 6:66 album. If you like Danzig, pick this up. It's not disappointing, and will tide you over to his next full length band album.

The first time I listened to this I gotta admit I was like what the hell? The mix sounded way off to me and I really didn't like it. This was from the frree mp3 download that comes with buying the cd. When the actual cd came in I gave it another try and it sounded completely different. Now I really enjoy most of these songs. A few I could give or take but overall I definitely dig it.

I was happy to purchase this cd. I've been enjoying listening to it since I got it Mon, All the cover songs are great. my fav. are rough boy- let yourself go- crying in the rain- satan - action woman- lord of the thighs- and he did an awesome sabbath cover N.I.B. <3

This is a great album. The record is straight, no warps and the colors look great. Sound quality is good without issue.

i do not know why everyone is giving this album a negative review... in my opinion, it is danzig's best work since danzig 4. i love all these covers, and i think that some of them are even better than the originals! the only complaint i have with this album is the mixing and mastering could have been better, other than that... awesome album! some of these songs sound like old-school misfits songs as well! ignore all these reviews here, and get it if you are a metal fan!

I love Danzig but this CD is horrible in my opinion nothing more than did just add it to my collection so I have everything but I have listened to it once and I probably will not listen to it much more than that.

Another great album by the man, the myth the legend!

It's not near as good as his older material but still worthy to add to your Danzig collection.

I think Danzig should stick to his own music. Listening to him, trying to do cover of his own personal favourite bands, from back in the days, isn't a pleasant experience. He sounds so boring, listening to him butchering song after song. His vocals are meant for his own music. That is where his voice do the more justice.
