as would we all

The Black Album and Machine Gun Etiquette are by leaps and bounds my two favorites of theirs , and even two of my favorite albums of forever . I'm not too sure about their sound outside of these albums , it gets a little bouncy and predictable .
Nothing gets me going like Melody Lee or Therapy , or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde . and the laughing song , oh man what a riot .

thats really all i have to say about the damned.

they werent/arent that bad...just never one of my fav. punk acts. i LIKED the misfits, alot, at one point (still occassionally bring out my mistifts albums cause it brings back fun memories). ive gotten way sick and tired of seeing that crimson ghost logo everywhere though. i dont know, they get repetitve after awhile. i could never hear any of those songs again and it wouldnt matter, cause like the ramones, all i gotta do is think about em and their songs will be playing in my head wether i want em too or not.

even now...human tounge touch aluminum plate, i wanna be sedated.

fuck i dont know.

what an incredible opinion

I share sway's ambivalence. I have both the debut and Machine Gun, and I want to like them more than I do. They are excellent albums but they just never quite fired my imagination the way other albums from that time and genre do.
