Album DescriptionBinary Audio Mis?ts is the fruit of a musical meeting on Myspace between two highly original groups from two different cultures and two different continents.ĭuring the fall of 2007, the French rock band Experience contacted the Texas Hip Hop collective the Word Association and asked them to collaborate on a new song for a record Experience was working on at the time. See More Your browser does not support the audio element. The accompanying booklet does a good job in making up for this, though besides a great band history from then-roadie/photographer and future Danzig bassist Eerie Von, there are complete lyrics for every song, a slew of amazing photographs from concerts and other shoots, and an exhaustive discography. most of the time it's not clear in the slightest which takes were the ones actually released at the time by the band. The biggest downside: While the sessions on the third disc are thoroughly detailed, the studio cuts on the first two discs are placed without comment as to which sessions produced them, while aside from Evilive and Earth A.D. Though recording quality itself varies widely over the discs and arguably some of the mastering could have been sharper (Danzig's own occasional remastering jobs in previous years weren't used here), it's still an explosive and exhaustive effort that any fan needs. The third compiles a slew of different demo and recording sessions, including the original trio lineup (with Danzig on electric piano) on the 'Cough/Cool'/'She' single takes, while the fourth presents the planned-but-never-released-as-such Static Age for the first time. The first two discs feature, respectively, the material on the two Collection releases and Legacy of Brutality, Evilive, and Earth A.D. Though it has its flaws, the coffin-shaped Box Set finally put things as right as seems possible with the Misfits, exhaustively covering all the releases the late-'70s/early-'80s version of the group put out (the exception being Walk Among Us due to a label-rights situation). Sometimes worthwhile, sometimes incredibly slapdash, they fueled the fire but still did the fans a major disservice, especially given the repetition and overlap on many releases. The Misfits' legend grew over the years following the original band's breakup to warrant an increasing number of compilations like Legacy of Brutality and the boldly titled Collection (followed some years later by, but of course, Collection II).
