Negative Positive
Title: Not as disappointing as some say
Review: ...Marilyn Manson's albums have gotten progressively better since "Mechanical Animals" (although "Portrait of an American Family" is still by far his best), and "The Golden Age of Grotesque" is no exception. Yes there is a certain degree of repetivity, and songs "This is the New S***" (featured on The Matrix Reloaded soundtrack) and "Better of Two Evils" aren't anything special; but this is undoubtadly one of Manson's best albums with enough industrial laced metal tunage one can't help but headbang to. "mOBSCENE", "Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag", the title track, "Ka-Boom, Ka-Boom", and "The Bright Young Things" are solid rockers that proudly carry the Manson banner, and despite what others are saying about this album (just like with "Holy Wood"), "The Golden Age of Grotesque" is another exercise in shock value for Mr. Manson and crew; and is definitely more than worth listening to.
Is the review positive or negative?
