Danzig, Studio Albums.

Danzig, 1988
The first Danzig album, featuring the classic line-up of Glenn, Eerie Von, John Christ, and Chuck Biscuits, is an absolute must-have. The band is captured at their transition from Samhian to Danzig. Ten tracks, including a classic blues cover ("The Hunter"). This album also contains one of their best known tracks, "Mother", but every song on the album is great.

Danzig II, Lucifuge, 1990
The perfect followup to the first album, Lucifuge features a more developed, bluesier take on the same basic sound. The album is heavy, but also a lot more varied than the first album.

Danzig III, How Gods Kill, 1992
Completing a perfect three piece set, How Gods Kill continues in the direction of the first two albums. While Danzig and Danzig II are both better albums, this album fits in great and rounds out the set. Even those who start to lose interest in later Danzig should own the first three albums.

Danzig 4p, 1994
The last album to feature the classic lineup, Von, Christ, and Biscuits would all leave the band for good after this album. Not nearly as good as the previous three, this is still a really good album. The band did a lot of experimenting with their core sound. The result is an deep album that may not be as easily accessible as previous ones, but is rewarding listen.

Danzig 5, Blackacidevil, 1996
A clear departure from any other Danzig album, Blackacidevil is an experiment in industrial metal. Where John Christ's guitar riffs dominated the sound on earlier Danzig albums, this one is dominated by loud, distorted, electric drums. This may well be the hardest Danzig album to like, but it is a worthwhile experiment.

Danzig 6:66, Satan's Child, 1999
The followup to Blackacidevil, Satan's Child takes the industrial experimentation from the previous album and combines it with a more traditional Danzig sound. The result is very good, if far from classic Danzig. The album ends with "Thirteen" one of two songs Glenn Danzig wrote for Johnny Cash, the only one of the two Johnny Cash had a chance to record.

Danzig 777, I Luciferi, 2002
The last of the numbered albums, I Luciferi is a lot less experimental than the previous two albums. Not nearly as good as the albums from the classic line-up. Solid, just not remarkable.

Circle of Snakes, 2004
Although a far cry from the original three albums, Circle of Snakes has a much more stripped down sound reminiscent of the first album. Guitarist Tommy Victor (Prong), lends a much different guitar style than John Christ, and that seems to be the biggest distinction between this album and the first.

Deth Red Sabaoth, 2010
Perhaps the best Danzig album since the original line-up disbanded. Although still featuring the guitar work of Tommy Victor, the guitars on this album are much more reminiscent of John Christ's work on the first four albums.
