Title: Marilyn Manson, Antimusic Superstar
Review: If you love Marilyn Manson, you'll hate Mechanical Animals. If you've always thought Marilyn Manson was a bit too much, this is the album for you. The thing that always kept my generation glued to Manson wasn't the antics, the devil, or the shock value (despite popular belief). It was the sheer musical emotion, and the way lyrics like "just a boy, just a little f***ing boy, I can never be a man" and "You never ever believed in me, I am your tournaquit" seemed to echo the feelings we were struggling with.Unless you're a fashion designer, a make-up artist for a movie studio, or a heroin addict stripped of all feeling whatsoever, chances are Marilyn Manson won't say that much that anyone could ever identify with on this release. And as far as cutting edge musicianship.... well, no.Highlghts Rock is Better Than Dead* Great Big White World Low LightsPretty much everything else having anything to do with this album, the tour that follows, or any artwork herein.
