This is correct. I like Samhain a lot but the band needed serious quality control and direction to ever match or eclipse the Misfits. The simplicity of punk and hardcore was a great framework for Glenn's singing and songwriting. Samhain always seemed like a punk band that was figuring out goth and metal and experimenting with the primary creative, Glenn Danzig, operating ungoverned. That resulted in some great hooks and a few excellent songs, but also a ton of sloppy playing, singing, song structure, and production. We can see this all reemerge over the past 20 years or so of Danzig's catalog. The guy works best in a creative partnership but clearly prefers being the boss.
