One thing is clear: This Manson album is significantly different from its predecessors. As with many other artists who pursue new directions, including the new Marilyn Manson is for spat violently and despised, fans give themselves shocked and perplexed and it probably. I will not call myself a fan, but I am in possession of the 2 previous albums and the Best Of, as on each disc a few songs can be found always that really quality. So I've also Eat me, Drink me worried and I went there otherwise: I was surprised - but in a good way. This album is not a Industrial-, no metal album, it's rock. A rock album with good riffs and powerful guitar solos, a lot of romance, a little experimental and - above all - very melodic! And one thing is for this album: a real coup.
"Everything has been said before, there's nothing left to say anymore" he sings on "The Golden Age of Grotesque" - musically, he has probably said everything he had to say in this style, the last album had to a large extent very forced and strives to live up to expectations, the album concept (and it always had to be one) had placed and uninspired. The "new" Manson seems to me that he wants to be really, it makes listening to the plate fun, I want to say for my part, that it is his best - so far at least, I hope he to now embarked will pursue path continue until we are in for another surprise ...
