Danzig 4, good album(my first exposure to Danzig when I was 12,13-14 back in 94-95,that and Mother 93'and thanks to now sellout metallica) Favorites Include CantSpeak, Going down'. , Little whip, Im not into the scene, the whole dress up(i have a shirt or two) but I like the music,Don't care for Slayer or other dark bands. much. I like I don't mind the pain also. Good Heavy With some weird sounds music. Offensive Imagery. But I have my beliefs separate from what Danzig Preaches. (well he doesn't preach).


Buy this in spite of the other reviewers
It is easily his best effort since his solo debut. The mutants who have reviewed this album may not be able to spell or put together even a mildly coherent sentence, but they are right about one thing: Danzig 4 is great. Unfortunately, everything after is disposable.


1994 brought us farther into the world of Danzig
Danzigs vocals are as usual, a baritone crooning and crying of sorts, but quickly give way to the rest of the bands musicianship. Danzig seemed to move a bit beyond the "doom blues" songs we were used to in past efforts and forged forward on this "Danzig 4" album with a frenzied, frantic upgrade of quicker paced songs like "Brand new god". Diversity again is the strength for this band, but the one song that absolutely steals the show on this one is "Can't Speak". Not since Metallica's commercial breakthrough with "One" has a dark, slow song of doom been so moving and strong. "Can't Speak" has a great slow beat with an "in and out" reverb sound that later gets some added flange from the guitarists. The impending organ sounding theme is one of the best I've ever heard of any song by the band. It's message is just as powerful, proving again that the bands songwriting has not given way to any pressure for success but the one they put on themselves to strive to create different, eccentric dark themed music.

"Until you call on the Dark" and "Dominion" are tracks that shouldn't be overlooked, and have a more general, signature sound that we've seen before from Mr. Danzig and his crew. Overall, four is just as good as the first three in my humble opinion.


THE LAST DANZIG ALBUM BEFORE HE STARTED TO SUCKED!!
THAT SIMPLE!!

4 is how ever more like the first album! and is prob tied to the first as being my fave!!

YOU WILL NEVER HEAR MUSIC THIS DEPRESSING AGAIN!! THIS IS NOT DOOM METAL. BUT THESE SONG's MANAGE TO MAKE DOOM SOUND HAPPY!! I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT DANZIG. . BUT HE IS ''EVIL'' haha!

Like for example ''LET IT BE CAPTURED'' this is the most depressing thing EVER!!! his voice sound's like the call's of a million dying human's. . very hard to listen to this with out almost crying!! AND THAT SAY's IT ALL!!!!!

Sad thing is. . . this is the last DANZIG album . . well what I consider DANZIG!! a DANZIG without John Christ. . sucks!!

SO there ya have it all 4!!!!! BUY THESE OR YOU SUCK AT LIFE!!!!

''LET IT BE CAPTURED''.


4 for 4
The slide into mediocrity doesn't begin until Blackacidevil. It's hard to beat Danzig's first three records, but this one stands right up there with 'em.
