Misfits: Ranking All 7 Studio Albums From Worst To Best
4. Famous Monsters (2000)
While it didn't quite live up to 'American Psycho', 'Famous Monsters' was still a solid outing for the Michale Graves-led misfits and stands as a testament to the sheer musical talent that was on display during that period in the Misfits' history.
On one hand, 'Famous Monsters' is a return to form for the Misfits that leans heavily into their horror punk roots. In fact, thanks to exceptional, movie-inspired tracks like 'Pumpkinhead' and 'Them', this album genuinely feels like one long, classic horror film in music form.
'Famous Monsters' also saw the band return to their rockabilly-inspired origins, with the '50s-esque sound being apparent throughout the entire album (especially in the now-iconic track 'Saturday Night'.)
On the other hand, however, this album also feels incredibly innovative. Thanks to Graves mixing things up with his own unique songwriting and vocal talents, as well as some instrumental experimentation on the part of the whole band, this record helped redefine what exactly made up a Misfits song.
In the end, 'Famous Monsters' may be the weaker of the two Graves-era Misfits albums, but it's still a fantastic release that's more than worth your time.
