Customer Reviews:

The best Danzig!.......2007-07-18

If this album were just one song, it would be a must have for any true Danzig fan (or metal fan for that matter).

Left Hand Black is one of most intense songs of all time. Its vocals are terrific and the actual music is flat out insipring.

Of course, their are other great songs on the album. But Left Hand Black is potentially one of the greatest songs of all time!

old.......2007-05-25

This album is so frickin old, kiss your career goodbye in the next 3 definately 4 years.

another classic .......2007-02-18

This album is one of his best. I reviewed this once before, but it never showed up here. So here I go again.

First off, this was released back in 1992. I don't remember alot of the music from the time being particularly memorable. Some of it was. This was when grunge started to become all the rage and I would have sold my arm to hear something else, anything else.

This album, though not a million seller, was virtually ignored. This really deserved a wider audience.

Anyway, to the songs. Godless is one of those dark songs that caught me instantly. The opening drums and the guitar riff are just amazing. The song then slows down a bit being punctuated with great chords and little drum fills. The lyrics to this are not as sacrilegious as the title suggests. The spoken words at the end of the tracks are more like poetry and a bit spooky.

Anything is a great mix of light and heavy and remains one of my favorite tracks. It's written and sung very well. Bodies is a bit annoying for me. It is a great song and the lyrics are very dark, but something about it doesn't feel right to me. Maybe its the production. I don't know

How The Gods Kill starts out very quiet and once again the dark lyrics bring many images to mind. This gets nice and heavy in the middle and ends as quietly as it started. Dirty Black Summer is one of the best songs here. I love the spooky, windy type sound that starts this track.

Left Hand Black is lyrically one of the best. I wish the music were a bit different though. It sounds to me like it could have used a little quiet part in the middle, but instead it just has a little section of bass and drums playing instead. Heart of the Devil starts with just Danzig's voice before the music kicks in. This has a good vibe to it and his voice is in fine shape here.

Sistinas is a nice slow song that never really gets heavy. Almost any heavy band out there can produce a song like this. This almost sounds like a love song, but careful examination of the lyrics reveal it as something much darker. I'll leave it to you to figure out. Do You Wear the Mark is another of my favorite tracks, the lyrics and music working very well together.

When the Dying Calls is the ending track here. I don't like this as much, but it's still a decent song. The lyrics are well written, but compared to the closer on the previous albums still one falls a bit short.

One more note on the cover art. I am a huge fan of HR Giger and this painting for the cover was a very good idea. Alot of his work is like this so if you're interested at all just Google his name and look up some images.

This is five stars. There are a few weaker songs here, but no bad songs. If you're into Gothic type rock you should already have this. If you're interested in goth rock and want to know a bit about it, this is a great place to start.

Dont read reviews by Justin Paxton.......2006-11-29

I couldnt hold my tongue any longer...any reviewer who thinks Metallicas Master of Puppets sucks and gives The Geto Boys a rave review has no frigging business anywhere near metal. This bonehead hates Bob Dylan, I guess he never took the time to read any of the lyrics to some of the old gems. Im sorry but dude just stick to reviewing rap albums and save us the negative bull****!

One of my alltime favorite albums.......2006-08-23

Basically this is one of those albums that even though is different from the traditional metal and punk style it still come out great. This album is basically a throwback, to the beginning stages of metal in the 70's, and some thrash elements from the 80's, along with some blues and some some satanic songs and you got top notch album. Glenn Danzig has a crooners voice which sounds melodic but the raspiness of his voice gives a scarier edge at times that could give a haunting voice at times.John Christ's guitarring is great from crushing, melodic riffs and great solos, almost Iommi-esque style. Chuck Biscuits drumming actually has grown on me, here he nessesarily overuses the double bass drum but he still came up with great drumming patterns. EErie Hun, bass is audible, and sometimes adds jazzy style bass licks at times.

Many songs here are dark, gothic like and satanic at points, the slow tempo of some songs are haunting and then kick up steam. Some almost feel like a thrash assault. Basically this album is hard to find one bad song, because I enjoyed the whole album, but my picks on Danzig 3 are Left Hand Black(fav track) Dirty Black Summer, Anything, Bodies, How the Gods Kill, Do you wear the Mark, Godless and Heart of the Devil. Pick this album up, ypu wont be dissapointed.
