Music Review: Grandmaster of Decadence
Rating: 5 Stars
Marilyn Manson is the 21st Century's prime avatar of Decadence with a capital "D," by which I mean not the sort of white trash/dirty diapers scenario popularized by the tabloid press, but rather direct descent from 19th Century literary Bohemia. He's certainly the most literate rock star around; I can think of few rockers capable of writing, for example, the title song on "Eat Me, Drink Me," which brilliantly juxtaposes references to Nabokov and Carroll--"It's just a game," indeed. And he keeps getting better at that game, capable of tightly-constructed gems like "Heart-Shaped Glasses," with its almost unbearably catchy chorus and summoning of Young Americans-era Bowie, while maintaining his stance as the darkest Goth god ever in "If I Was Your Vampire." Manson's personal demons screech and gibber in the background--the disintegration of his marriage to cabaret postmodernist Dita van Teese, his relationship with starlet Evan Rachel Wood (to whom the album is dedicated)--but he fashions them into immaculately twisted sculpture for the delectation of listeners everywhere. That's talent, that's artistry, and that's why Manson will remain relevant as long as he feels like it. A gorgeous, shimmering piece of work and one of my favorite Manson albums thus far.Music Review: NOT AS GOOD AS I ANTICIPATED.
Rating: 3 Stars
I love Marilyn Manson and I have a great deal of respect for his views and his music. However, ......he has been kinda flakey as of late. First off, his lyrics are not quite up to speed on this record. Anybody who has a brain knows that Marilyn Manson writes the best lyrics in rock music today. Sadly, there is nothing great about the lyrics on this album. The most annoying aspect of this CD is the stale plain sound of many of the songs. Also, the theme is bland...Basicly Manson wrote an entire album about crap like getting a devorce from Dita Von Teese and How that stupid band (MCR) stold his act. Sheesh...come the hell on Mr. Manson!!!! I miss the days of Antichrist Superstar. I wish that Manson and Trent Reznor were still making records together, still on tour together, ....since those days have passed, Manson hasn't done anything that is as much fun to be apart of. Anyways, I like three songs ("Evidence", "Heart Shaped Glasses", "If I Was Your Vampire") on this album, but all in all I think it is by far the least interresting album Manson has ever made. I shure hope his movie is going to be better than this album. Oh well...Marilyn Manson is still one of the greatest entertainers alive today regardless of a few recent flops.
Music Review: Can't believe so many people don't like this album.
Rating: 5 Stars
I felt I had to write a review in defense of this record. I've been a Manson fan since before "Beautiful People" came out. And to me, the man has only gotten better over time. Yes his music has changed/evolved over the years, but all great artists evolve if they want to stay relevant.
The main complaint I hear about "Eat me, Drink Me" is that it's too self aggrandizing and too self pitying. I say, who cares? As long as the music is good and the lyrics mean something to me. That's all I care about. The music on "Eat me, Drink Me" is is phenomenal and the lyrics are very twisted and dramatic.
I would put this album right at the top of Manson's catalog along with "Beautiful People" as his two best. That's right, I don't think "Superstar" is his best work. I think it was his best tour, but not his best album, or even his third best album. I would give that to "Mechanical Animals".
So, while I definitely await and look forward to the reunion with Twiggy, I like where Manson is at right now and hope he doesn't go too far away from it. But I'm not worried. The man has NEVER disappointed me. He has always amazed me. And I'm sure he will again with "The High End of Low".
I can't wait.
Music Review: Manson dealing with lost love with touches of Alice In Wonderland
Rating: 5 Stars
I'll confess to being a fan of both the celebrity that is Marilyn Manson and the person known as Brian Warner. As other reviewers have stated, this is a different Marilyn Manson, or perhaps this is a Brian Warner record released under the Manson moniker, that is up to the individual to judge. Overall this is Manson's most human release, showcasing raw emotion (mainly hurt,sadness, biterness and loss due to his divorce)With this album we see that this is Brian Warner and not Marilyn Manson making a statement and showing us that he too, is human,and can feel loss. The Manson that preached hate against the world and was the god of *bleep* is not gone, I don't think, in the least. I personally think that this cd was basically Manson's (not so) sonic self-therapy and that even with this,parents will still complain and the sheepies will still deem him of the Devil, fans of the angry first three cds will probably not like this one unless they are open minded enough to take the evolution for what it is. Sure this is not another ACS or POAAF, but I have no complaints. Seeing Brian Warner on this cd was an unexpected, but welcome change
Who knows how much deeper the rabbit hole goes? I can't wait to find out
Music Review: Manson continues to reinvent himself on "Eat Me, Drink Me"
Rating: 4 Stars
Marilyn Manson's 6th full-length album presents a new and unique sound for the band, as all of Manson's albums do. "Eat Me, Drink Me" took me some getting used to, but after about 2 listens, I really liked it. The sound of the album is dark-pop-rock, for lack of a better term. This is probably my least favorite Manson album, but that doesn't make it bad, 'cuz I'm a huge Manson fan. However, if you are looking for the previous industrial metal sound, you won't find it on this album. What you have here is a lot of gothic, trippy, and depressing tracks, all written during a point of duress in Manson's life. Only two people are credited with writing and performing the album: Marilyn Manson and Tim Skold. Production is great, and overall, this is a good, but unique comeback album. The track "If I Was Your Vampire" is AWESOME as a gothic anthem of sorts. Some of my other favorites on the album are: "Putting Holes In Happiness", "Just a Car Crash Away", "Evidence", "Are You the Rabbit", "Mutilation is the Most Sincere Form Of Flattery" and "You and Me and the Devil Makes 3". The album also contains the hit "Heart-Shaped Glasses", which I personally didn't dig as much as the rest of the album. Overall, I'd say 3.5 stars.
