Title: Manson has Overtaken Reznor
Product review: What a let-down. I waited five years for this? This is artistic progression? The sad thing (for Trent) is, how he knocks Manson (his protogee,)all over the place, but in the five years it took Trent to deliver this half cooked, overstuffed load Manson progressed from the underachieving "Portrait" to the watershed of "Antichrist" to one of the best albums of last year, "Mechanical Animals". In that time, I became a huge Manson fan, so the mediocrity of this album was a sad revelation. Once again, the student has surpassed the Master. Reminds me of "Amadeus": poor old Salieri, cursing Mozart because his talent casts a shadow on Salieri's Weakness. (No, I'm not comparing Manson to Mozart, so don't even think about calling me on that!) Anyhoo, as long as it's one less album from some airheaded teenage dance pop slut/prettyboy, it has some value...I guess.
