Negative Positive
Title: Good, but not a masterpeice
Review: Marilyn again assaults his audience with beautifuly dark images from the cover to the final track, but at times it seems that the art takes precedent over the music. While it can reach points of true beauty, it is marred by tracks such as "disposable teens", which seems to me to be the band's attempt at going trendy. Even the name of the track embodies the same message as "the beautiful people", but in easier, less cryptic terms so the rest of the Slipknot loving masses can understand it. "Coma Black" never reaches the true genius of the original, and that is a dissapointment as that was the track I was looking most forward to. Other than that there are many great artistic tracks, and while I think Marilyn is never going to be able to reproduce the sheer genius of Portrait of an American Family, he makes a good effort. Worth buying, but only if your attention span is long enough to recognise great music.
