Negative Positive
Title: Sad
Review: This is sad. Case in point: The excerpt from the Los Angeles Times excerpt was intended as a compliment. It states that this album displays "(gasp) human emotion," as if this is some great accomplishment for a musician. The fact that Marilyn Manson finally is displaying a shred of emotion is nothing to praise. It's what music is all about! And let's look for a second at the emotions he is diplaying: hate, jealousy, hopelessness, anger, vengeful thoughts, and rejection of God. Wow, this guy is some great artist, isn't he?The second part of the LA Times excerpt says that this album "drips with the seedy sexuality and plush velvet feel that's been absent from 1990s rock." And again, this is supposed to be complimentary to the album?? As if we need more seediness in our music today.
Is the review positive or negative?
