So how old exactly is too old to rock n' roll? For Glen Danzig, apparently, somewhere around 40, or at least several albums prior to the recording of "6:66 Satan[should be an apostrophe here, but there ain't]s Child." For one thing, his trademark voice apparently can't hit the notes that used to set his gloomy brand of Halloween rock apart from the rest of the muscle-bound costumed freaks out there. If there were any more voice modulators and manipulators used on "6:66", Stephen Hawking would have an awfully strong case against Danzig for stealing his "sound". The scaled-down instrumentation that set Danzig's music apart as much as his voice is also gone, replaced by your standard industrial metal set-up of whiny guitar minor-chord-wanking and electronic drums. To top it off, the disc is chock-full of photos of the band lounging around with barely legal women, sporting phallic-shaped tails and horns - comical at best, but I think the band thinks this shit's spooky.
