If the Misfits were one of the greatest punk bands then 'Walk Among Us' is perhaps one of the greatest records in punk history. While 'Static Age' and 'Earth Ad' showcased a band searching for an identity like a vampire for its next victim, 'Walk Among Us' is almost sheer perfection. With a solidified lineup, fully grown-out devillocks (the Misfits trademark long spike of hair in the front) and the stabilizing presence of the somewhat pedestrian but agile Arthur Googy on drums, uber-misfit Glenn Danzig was finally able to match his zombie-Elvis to a worthy musical foil. From the manic opening of '20 Eyes' to the monster football chorus of 'Braineaters,' there is nothing less than a sublime moment on this album from start to finish. 'Astro Zombies' or 'I Turned Into a Martian' sound like songs to raise the dead by. A special bonus is perhaps the tenderest love song to decapitation ('Skulls') in recent memory.
