I realize I'm late to the party, but here's my two cents on this album. I get what they were going for. I dig the loungecore thing and I dig the Misfits. I checked this out because I think there's potential for this to have been cool. So believe me when I tell you, I understand. I get it.



The problem is, the arrangements just aren't that clever. For something like this to work, you need a hook to hang what you're doing on. This is just kind of generic cheese, a paint-by-numbers combination of elements stereotypical of "lounge" music but it doesn't really bring anything to the table. Furthermore, and I guess the thing that bums me out the most, the "brass" here sounds like it was borrowed from Wesley Willis' keyboard. Too many instruments have that fake, obviously keyboard sound, that just makes me feel like they weren't really trying that hard.



As it stands, this is a pretty good metaphor for the Misfits "brand" as it stands these days. Cheesy nostalgia and a weak imitation of something that was much better in its original form. But hey, it did manage to give some of the kids an coronary, and I guess that's pretty punk rock these days.
