Title: He's Ours Again
Review: When Manson first hit the scene (I remember seeing him open for NIN in 94), he was fresh and exciting. The music has remained as scintilating throughout most of his career. However, this record is by far his best. Gone are the silly metal riffs. He's closer to goth again, and from what I can tell, his new work does not find favor with the goffs or mansonites as they've come to be called. They look like they tried to be goths but just had fun with mommy's makeup kit, smearing it all over their faces. I'd abandoned Manson for a time, not because the music was particularly bad but because his fans were perceived as unrefined and nothing you'd want to be associated with. I don't mind hard music, but I do mind the kinds of people generally attracted to it. With a move to more articulate music, Manson is in the right direction
