Marilyn Manson Knows if Bowie did Ziggy Stardust Today He'd Have Breasts, Too.

by laura10801 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 03 '01
Pros: David Bowie rip-off
Cons: David Bowie rip-off
I am not a huge Marilyn Manson fan. I have tried to like him because I love Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and he likes Manson. As a matter of fact, I have seen Manson live several times because he was opening for Nine Inch Nails in concert, so I am...

Mechanical Animals: Marilyn Manson's Ambitious and Entertaining Concept Album

by lambchops, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Apr 13 '07
Pros: Some excellent songs, rock and roll done right, ambitious...
Cons: I really don't care about the concept, a few less stellar selections...
Known for his personality, appearance, and on-stage antics as much as his music, Marilyn Manson is among the most visible musicians to appear in the last fifteen or so years. At first, he was just a lanky hard rocker with an ability to create metal ...

More like Mechanical Manson!

by jbrd Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 15 '06
Pros: Some good songs that capture Manson the way he is intended to sound like.
Cons: The new sound, a space ride from hell(literally), too technical/disco.
After the huge success of 1996's Antichrist Superstar, Marilyn Manson became a huge rock star. A star with an obscene personality and looks and his attitude was mere "F*ck you" to the world over and over. With that success, Manson had to try ...

The world is plastic, full of pain

by blksqul , May 14 '03
Pros: Dark, broken, shining, pleading, gone.
Cons: It effectively ended Manson's career as a visible artist.
One of the problems with having a MENSA-level IQ is forever wanting to reinvent yourself. You get bored easily with stasis, and want to push for growth, even if it's an unnatural juxtaposition from the past. Sometimes this can lead to wondrous things;...

Manson does Bowie

by black_statik , Mar 01 '03
Pros: Classic sound, Cool image, Straight up glam rock
Cons: Not much at all
For my first music review i decided to do it on Marilyn Manson's third full length album, Mechanical Animals.

To me this is one of the greatest albums that surfaced during the late 90's. It has all the fun and exploitation of 80's rock and a...

One of the best albums ever!

by Daemon6233 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 18 '02
Pros: A masterpiece of modern rock, excellent songs and music, deep lyrics, new style
Cons: none, really...
As I look through my CD collection, a vast collection of punk rock, techno, and heavy metal, industrial, and rock I can name a few that I would definitely have to take if I was stranded on an island with those CD’s and a disc player. One of those would...

More Marilyn than Manson?

by oliver_jones , Aug 20 '02
Pros: Completely new sound For Manson.Losing his satanic look for some people.
Cons: Older fans may not be too fond of this pop-rock album.
Up to this point in Marilyn Mansons career his image has been 'somewhat satanic' which has caused major uproar among christian activist groups and parents alike.
This has gained Manson valuable if not career making press but many people doubt his...

Mechanical Animals

by influence , Jan 28 '02
Pros: Totally different sound
Cons: none
Marilyn Manson’s 1996 album Antichrist Superstar catapulted them from the status of a somewhat obscure Florida shock-rock, electro-punk band to that of international superstars. Manson’s unmistakable image was plastered all over the airwaves, MTV, and...

Cons: Not as Consistent as Antichrist Superstar
After the success of 1996's Antichrist Superstar, Marilyn Manson was becoming a rock superstar. Along the way, he caused controversy in his shows and protestors were outside of his concerts who claim he's Satanic. By the end of the ...

All that glitters is cold

by XZeroBabyX , Aug 15 '00
Pros: Fabulous music, lyrics, and pictures.
Cons: none

Mechanical Animals is Manson's fourth CD (Portrait of an American Family, Smells Like Children, and Antichrist Superstar are his previous CDs.)

1. Great Big White World - This song is mostly pretty slow, but the snare in the background...

Did He Go Commercial?

by NascarTigger , May 31 '00
Pros: A whole new sound!
Cons: A whole new sound!
Let me start by saying I so looked forward to this release. Antichrist Superstar was a great release and needed a great follow up album. But could the man of controversy come through yet again for his fans? Could he hit those same ear bleeding...

I know what you're thinking. What's a nice girl like me doing listening to a guy like Marilyn Manson...

Anyway, Manson is no musical innovator, but how many...

Am I the only one who liked it?

by chrisgould , Jan 03 '00
Pros: Highly synthetic, lots of variety in the music (not much in the lyrics)
Cons: As usual, Manson repeats several phrases throughout the album, don't listen to it if you hate drugs
Of the many fans of Marilyn Manson that I've talked to, I can find only one person (in addition to myself) who prefers this album to their older work.

Everyone seems to come back with the same complaints about it: "it's too poppy"...

Rock is Dead? Wha?

by evanfury , Mar 03 '00
Pros: Good songs, both soft and hard.
Cons: May be too different for some Manson fans.
My first Marilyn Manson exposure was a tape my girlfriend gave me of "Portrait of an American Family". I went crazy over it. Up until that point all the music I had listened to was just crappy pop on the radio or MTV. Sad, I know. So I...
