{"product_id":"danzig-danzig","title":"DANZIG – DANZIG","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, these elements wouldn’t work so well without some tight songwriting. The hits are fun as the opening “Twist of Cain” and “Mother” benefit from simple yet infectious riffs, upbeat rhythms, and sing-along choruses while “She Rides” plays like AC\/DC’s ”The Jack” on steroids. Other tracks provide hints of future ambitions as “Am I Demon” and the take on “The Hunter” push for more overt metal, “Possession” sees the occult at its strongest, and “Soul on Fire” and “End of Time” reach for more ambitious blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe irony of this is how the album ends up somewhat held back by the ambitions that were merely hinted at here getting fully realized on subsequent efforts. Despite fitting the organic desert atmosphere, the production can feel a little too dry at times to the point that bass is minimal if not nonexistent. There are a couple lesser songs to work with but nothing fells below a good execution. There’s just a lingering notion that maybe this album could’ve sounded better with a production job like its successors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the risk of sounding too goofy, the first Danzig album is kinda like the first Super Mario Brothers. The formula is arguably better executed in future installments that had more toys to play with, but the way it’s done here is fun enough to stand out in its own right. “Mother” may have been overplayed and memed to high hell, but the influences still feel fresh and there’s enough substance overall to keep coming back. It may not be their best work, but it’s one hell of an introduction.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Sputnik Music\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48221183180953,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/4020\/1349\/files\/Danzigl.webp?v=1782154151","url":"https:\/\/thrillhouserecords.com\/products\/danzig-danzig","provider":"Thrillhouse Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
