° Manson's 'Portrait of an American Family' is one of the albums, in which you have to listen, to find it good for me. Unlike the all-time Favorites 'Antichrist Superstar', 'Mechanical Animals' or 'Holy Wood' that is neither hard-aggressive and not as catchy. Rather a slight angle and experimentally what I indeed listen to a few times has always liked better. The first CD of Manson, I would still advise against it, better only to hear the other. Fans will not want to miss it, and then sorting itself anyway. Comparatively just 'only' 4 stars. ~
