Misfits – Legacy Of Brutality

Of course this sounds good, they just slapped the remasters from the 1996 box set on here and called it a day lol. I actually have no problem with this, I always HATED the original vinyl and cd of this album with its thin, terrible sound, but ever since I got the box set back in the 90's and heard these remixes properly remastered, I've liked these NEARLY as much as the original Static Age versions(which I also heard on the box set for the first time, and were a revelation), in fact I listened to nothing BUT those original versions for YEARS and wrote these off until recently, when I checked them out again and ed how great they sound, so if they are going to keep repressing this album on vinyl for whatever reason, then these 1996 cd remasters are really the ONLY way to go, the shrill, thin versions from the original vinyl and cd releases need to be relegated to the dustbin. Personally, I think you'd be better off just getting an original 1985 pressing for the authenticity and the KILLER artwork(the one thing this album always had going for it), and just pick up the 1996 boxset and throw the cd on when you actually want to listen to the songs, that's what I did myself, it's really the best way to go, listening to cd remasters is ALWAYS better on the original cd, instead of going a generation down and listening to them on vinyl, I understand the hipster reasons some people may prefer this, but, as I said, that's what the original 1985 pressing is for. I'll honestly NEVER understand why people buy these old punk classics on repressed, remastered vinyl instead of the corresponding cd that's usually released, you're stil not getting the original version, and you're wasting money on an inferior version of the release you COULD be getting. I know some people just like to have them for the artwork, but they nearly ALWAYS change that as well, at least enough to make it worth your while to just save up a few bucks and get an original pressing. Also, is it me, or do most new vinyl repressings have MORE flaws than the 40 year old used copies you can get online? The represses always seem to skip FAR more, and they never sound any better either, in fact they're usually worse. Just my two cents.

I disagree with those two guys, this press sounds amazing. Much more dynamic than the original cd. Very high quality vinyl, flat, centered and noise free. Idk maybe those guys played it on a crosley? A decent system can bring this one to life!

The Misfits aren't exactly known for the 'high fidelity' of their recordings.... but this is horrendous. Very compressed, thin and brittle sound on this pressing rendering it unlistenable. Disappointing...
