Didnt metal hammer give this 5 out of 10 in the proper review, and kerrang 1 out of 5? The best tracks are easily:- Leave a Scar, Arma-goddamn, Running To The Edge Of The World, and the oasis-like Into The Fire, and nin-like I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies. The album is no where near as awful as kerrang tried to make out in their review, even Q magazine gave this a reasonable 3 out of 5, but i can at least agree with K that its not mansons best work, that will remain Mechanical Animals or arguably Holywood for now. Hopefully the next album will be a little bit more inspired, and unlike this album, give out more of a theme, rather than what feels like a random collection of work just to satisfy the bands contract. I would give this album a solid 7 out of 10.

too many tracks. not enough quality control. some poor lyrical content, surely the biggest shock of all. rock sound gave it 8 out of 10. kerrang gave it 1 out of 5.. ! I think manson could do better, a little rushed methinks, and the artwork is also boring.. brian, get off that front cover. Lol

in general this album sounds NOTHING like any of his previous material. even eat me drink me (which was not a bad album) is clover to his previous work. even if you liked eat me drink me, all previous manson fans beware! there is, almost shockingly, a fair bit of acoustic (and even the odd bowie-esque clapping and overall feel-’WOW’) going on in there. he even sings at times, far more akin to alot of his cover songs than even something off mechanical animals.

i feel a fair number of previous fans arent going to like it at all, and the rock magazines are going to probably be split down the middle with their overall opinion of it. i would give it 7/10, alot of it is very 80s in sound overall (metal hammer did note one track sounding almost too bon jovi-lol). the album is perhaps a grower, different to his other work, although perhaps a little light on memorable choruses, its varied with its combination of the heavy and light, and still a welcome addition to an ever growing catalogue from a band that refuse to back down. many old fans will no doubt not embrace the change, but they will no doubt
make more new. a good artist is an ever changing artist (eminem take note!)

Could be going somewhere with this one. There’s a bit of ‘bad version of Mechnical Animals’ happening between this and the last. I reckon If he was to get a firm grasp and produce something in a year or two, following on from High end of Low – and obviously stop banging on about his ex wife (tracks like WOW are not good work) I think he could return to former awesomeness.

it is a good album, also good to finally see a review (or preview… whatever) that actually talks about the music. so sick of hearing over opinionated assholes all basicly saying “this album sucks cause its by a guy who wears make up”. and thank you for not using the term shock rock! god knows where that fuckin term came from

Got the album last night, already know I’ll be putting down the money for the deluxe edition with all the bells and whistles.
Second best Manson album (after Mechanical Animals of course). It’s an epic running at over an hour, 15 tracks at 3-10 mins each every last one of them anthemic and listenable but what about the Manson edge that was so clearly missing from Eat Me? Oh fuck yeah it’s back with a fuckin kick up the arse. This is good oldfashioned Manson with all the passion and flare but at the same time something new and fresh and so fucking exciting. Genuinely awesome album and most definately a return to form. if you’re a massive Manson fan like me and have been following this album since Eat Me came out (urgh) then you will not be dissappointed, no matter how high your expectations.
Thank fuck Twiggy is back, I get a feeling it might just be the second coming of the God of Fuck, brace yourselves.

And that’s not Manson, so ignore the earlier comment that claims to be him.

Any chance the whole review will be posted online?
