Genre: Industrial
Metal, Alternative Metal, Heavy Metal
Man I remember
when this album can out, all the uproar around this guy. The parents of my
class mates at my school, where freaking when they found out that one of the
students in my class had brought the CD to school. Everyone was talking about that
this album was Satanic, and there where kinds rumors circling around the figure
of Manson (he probably started most of them to boost his carrier). I remember there
was rumor that he was going to kill himself in a live show in Santiago Chile,
and bunch of numb nuts got ticks to the show just to see him do it, that’s a great
marketing campaign.
This
album is really good and pretty intriguing as a concept album, but it has a lot
of Nine Inch Nails input.
Vocals and Lyrics: Manson’s lyrics
are as every bit intriguing, shocking and just a little too politically
incorrect. But as a concept album it’s an interesting concept that Manson is
trying to get across. 9
Instrumentation: The band
serves the needs of the album and the story, the instrumentation is pretty good
especial the drums. But the keys and loops real set the tone to the album.
Another thing that almost every member of Nine Inch Nails plays on the album:
Trent Reznor, Chris Vrenna, Robin Finck and Danny Lohner. 7.5
Melody and/or
Structure: Mood and concept hijack the album.7
Sound, Production and Feeling:
Trent Reznor presence looms large in this album you can hear tons of Nine Inch
Nails details in the sound and in the production F/X. 10
Songs: It’s a long album but
every song is masterpiece. 15
The Bad:
Originality: Even though NIN makes
their mark on this album, you can hear many of the trade mark things that will
establish the course of Marilyn Manson for at least the next three albums. 10
Overall: 58.5
