Yep.
I have stuff like Static Age but they sound like crap. Since these are remastered, I'm hoping they sound better.

| Bad news toho, the Static Age in the box set is the same you have. It was released on CD for the first time through this box set and then they released it seperately about 6 months to a year later. I think that's what you have.
The Misfits' old stuff wasn't recorded well. I don't think they could ever get it to sound good.

| | Quote: | You can argue that Caroline didn't really make a great effort to put this box set together since they basically stuffed a bunch of CD's you can buy individually into a cardboard coffin. However, when you consider how much it would cost to purchase each CD on it's own, it becomes evident how much of a bargain this collection actually is.
Let's examine the contents:
Disc 1: Collection I and II
Both of these essential compilations (especially Collection I) feature some of the band's very best tracks. You can't go wrong here!
Disc 2: Legacy of Brutality, Evil Live, and Earth AD
In my opinion, the weakest disc in this collection due to "Legacy's" terrible 80's remix of earlier material, a very overrated and poorly recorded live album, and the pedestrian hardcore of "Earth AD". Still, you get three individual CD's worth of material on one disc.
Disc 3: Previously unreleased studio rehearsal and demo tracks.
No doubt, what Caroline was hoping to lure hardcore Misfits fans with. Lots of song repetition here, but a worthy listen none the less.
Disc 4: Static Age
A masterpiece. Compare how much better these mixes are to the washed out tracks on "Legacy of Brutality". Featuring such tender and politically correct ditties as "Last Caress", "Attitude" and "Bullet", this is thee definitive Misfits album. Yes, even better than "Walk Among Us".

| The original was CDs in plastic embossed cases (nifty, but not able to be replaced), the reissued one has 2 double jewel cases.

They're a really good and sleazy rock band. The singers voice has sort of gotten worse on the last two albums, though. It really sounds like he's recording this stuff in his apartment, or his parent's house, and he doesn't want to wake people up, or he's too shy and doesn't want people to really hear him. It sounds like stuff I did in the Air Force, trying to quietly record stuff in dorm rooms without people complaining.
Either way, a really good band, and the name does kick ass!

Dear Audio Diary:
How can I be myself when everytime I get in the shower with these hot sweaty mens, I get even hotter and more bothereder? I sometimes wish I was in a cockpit with Johnny and he was telling me to "Pull Up! Pull Up!" Oh I gotta go, I think someone can hear me.

| How awesome is that to find your mailbox full of Nutz? It's like Richard Simmons' wet dream.

| | I've never thought of that. If I had I think I'd have stopped at two Nutz, rather than adding the third. |

Nah, then you'd just be like everyone else. That third one makes you "special".
