Music reviews of Smells Like Children

Music Review: Smells Like A Cool CD
Rating: 4 Stars

Here are my ratings for the songs:

The Hands of Small Children: Smells Like Children kicks off with this creepy 1st track. It hasn't really much musical value, but it really sets the whole atmosphere for this CD. And it isn't welcoming. This isn't a song, I can't rate it on lyrics or music, but I'm definitely rating it due to its scene-setting. 4/10

Diary of A Dope Fiend: Many of you reading this now will have heard Portrait of An American Family's 'Dope Hat' (the original version of this). You all loved the humour and those fun sound effects. Now get ready for it all to be reversed. Diary of A Dope Fiend isn't funny, but nevertheless, it is a very good track. It takes a while for it to get going, but it really fills you with feeling, it's slow and somewhat depressing, it's brilliant. I'm rating this on the lyrics, atmosphere and musical value. 8/10

S***** Chicken Gang Bang: More like Ghost Train ride music at a carnival rather than a song... hehe. I obviously can't rate this on lyrics, since there are none, ahem, but I will rate this on atmosphere and musical value. 4/10

Kiddie Grinder: Kiddie Grinder can't match up to the original, in some ways, but in others, it is better. It's got more energy in it. Actually, I love this song, at first it is a mass of exciting beats and then that excellent chorus ices it off. 8&1/2/10

Sympathy For The Parents: In this someone asks Marilyn if the music is satanic and stuff and then he comes up with an answer for them. Not much of a song, not much of a track either. 2/10

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This): Wow. The first Marilyn Manson song I ever heard. And you know what? I still love it as much as the first time I heard it. It's a fantastic cover of original, you don't have to be a fan to appreciate this song. With its nice vocals, exciting guitar parts and great build-up, this song will probably be the most played-out one on this CD. 10/10

Everlasting C***sucker: Mmm, Track No.7... a very sexy remix of Cake and Sodomy (Portrait of An American Family). The drumbeats are smooth and cool in this. And Marilyn whispering "I am the God of F***" to you is bliss for me. I love this song. It's a very good remix of the original, but with a whole different approach. 9/10

F*** Frankie: Ah, yes. This. Well, I'm not going to rate this track, because it entirely depends on your state of mind whether you'll appreciate it or not. It will either disgust you or make you giggle (for me it was both). I'm not sure if Marilyn made this one keeping a straight face ;). ?/10

I Put A Spell On You: Although quite short, this song is lovely, I love the way Marilyn sings on this, I admire the music to it. Overall, a very good song. 7/10

May Cause Discoloration of Urine or Feces: On this you here some guy on the phone to a lady, talking about his headache and these pills he needs to take. No musical value here, but you may want to listen to it once or twice to hear the story. 5/10

Scabs, Guns and Peanut Butter: This song was written and composed by Twiggy. It's crazy, just like him :)! No, the song isn't that crazy, it's like hearing music out of Speedy Gonzalli or something. And, no, Twiggy isn't crazy either, he's lovely... 3/10

Dance of the Dope Hats: You heard Dope Hat. Then you heard Diary of a Dope Fiend. Now you're back to the fast-paced action with another remix of the original. It's a good remix, not really as powerful as Diary of a Dope Fiend, but good all the same. Not much of a metal music track, but its still fun. Great! 7/10

White Trash: Another remix of Cake and Sodomy. This time some guy who isn't in Marilyn Manson sings it. It's an acoustic version of it, you might like this, I'm not big on it, but it's okay. 5/10

Dancing With the One Legged: I've listened to this track the least. It's not a song, I don't feel as if it has much of a point on the CD, but I'm sure the band has some reason behind it. And is that Pogo speaking on it? 1/10

Rock'n'Roll Nigger: A nice ending to the CD. It's a fast, fun song. You don't have to be a fan to like this. And don't get the wrong idea, it isn't a racist song, please don't be put off by that idea. 8/10

Bonus Track: Marilyn must like putting ending tracks to a CD and not mentioning it. Yay! Surprises! On Smells Like Children there's the bonus track at the end. This is a cool track. You get about 2 minutes of music near the start, then a lot of silence, and then towards the end some weird kiddies (more like monsters) screaming. Then rrright at the end you hear the guys talking and laughing (is that Pogo again??). 6/10

TO CONCLUDE: Smells Like Children is the perfect CD for a Halloween party. It's got some great tracks to listen to... some of great musical value, others to simply set that spooky scene. Play this all the way through, with perhaps the small exception of Track No.8!! :P ;)

Enjoy!

Description of Smells Like Children

MARILYN MANSON SMELLS LIKE CHILDREN

Mostly a collection of remixed tracks from Portrait of an American Family and samples swiped from talk-radio dialogue, Smells Like Children is how Marilyn Manson passed the time prior to beginning work on Antichrist Superstar. Of note among the remixes is Tony Wiggins's acoustic country "White Trash" version of "Cake and Sodomy." This is really a keeper, though, for Manson's clever choice of covers, including an authentically creepy interpretation of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" and the shot-in-the-arm he gives to Patti Smith's "outside of society" anthem, "Rock 'N' Roll Nigger." (Attention trivia buffs: Manson's unrestrained reworking of Howling Wolf's "I Put a Spell on You" was later included on the soundtrack to David Lynch's Lost Highway.) --Gail Worley
