    4 Stars Mr Manson and The Spooky Kids! 07/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Thought provoking, interesting and progressive style

    Disadvantages Disadvantages To many people judge the band before listening to them

    Love him or hate him over the last thew years Marilyn Manson has grown in popularity, appearing on numerous TV shows and releasing many truly thought provoking albums it is no wonder he is doing so well for himself. Whether he is appealing to the younger "rebels" with his new music or appealing to the older generation with his David Bowie sounding music. Manson has made a name for himself and is doing awfully well. Marilyn Manson AKA Brain Warner was a Music Journalist before forming his band "Marilyn Manson And The Spooky Kids". They started out with Florida based gigs making a name for ... more

    5 Stars Marilyn Manson. Make up your own mind. 05/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting lyrics, opinions, I like the music. Intelligent guy.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ------- a long review ------- sorry ------

    Instead of ranting on about how great Marilyn Manson is and how much I Enjoy his music and how ignorant people can be (and can't they just, I can't even begin to describe how ignorant. Particularly many years ago while at school rock music and Marilyn Manson were 'weird' and those who did not conform to the normal 'nice happy pop music and dress top to toe in Adidas or whatever the trendy brand of the week was' were 'freaks' and got much hassle over nothing....(yeah yeah I'm a little bitter and twisted) But these ignorant people seem to still make up the majority of today's population - I know ... more

    4 Stars From a Goth point of view. 22/08/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Insta-Goth

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Requires Evolution

    Unusually for a Goth, I'm not going to immediately complain about Marilyn Manson ruining my subculture before going to smoke a clove cigarette in a ridiculously frilly black shirt. Marilyn Manson is both an individual and a band. Originally called "Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids," the band emerged from the Florida underground scene in the early nineties thanks to collaborating with Trent Reznor on their first album "Portrait of an American Family." Marilyn Manson is a stepping stone for many Goths, CyberGoths, Rivetheads and the other associated groups. He's David Bowie for a new ... more

    5 Stars Marilyn Manson - good and bad times 13/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good mesages

    Disadvantages Disadvantages misunderstood to easily

    This mega star was never failed to entertain. Through his life and career he has stunned the rock scene with his image based on a French theatrical figure - Antonin Artaud - that in his own time revelled in controversy. Manson unfortunately is far too often taken literally and people rarely decode the messages he sends out, hence many taking the wrong end of the stick. What any listener needs to do is look past the make-up and forethoughts and listen hard. For example this is a man protesting against guns, not trying to make kids use them against each other. This man is fighting against Nazi’s ... more

    1 Star The Shame of Heavy Metal 07/12/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages No one

    Disadvantages Disadvantages He doesn't know to sing

    I'm sorry with all the fans of Marylin Manson, but according to me he's just a cheat. I always feel like yawning any time his songs pass on radio and he's just boring; some hits such as "The Beautiful People" were not bad, but if you remove all the tons of colours on his face, there is nothing more left; he always tries to provoce the media with silliy declrations or showing off in his concerts having sex with lambs or dressing like a fetish. There are many great Heavy Metal bands such as Dream Theater, Fear Factory that are 100 times better. And according to me he's just a silly copy of ... more

    5 Stars keep manson for the real fans 11/08/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages very entertaining great music

    Disadvantages Disadvantages becoming slightly too popular

    although hes been around many years now and has a very loyal longstanding fans the music is still great but it now seems as tho its becoming trendy amoung younger fans just to wear the tshirt or have the album rather than being an actual fan i wonder how many really know mr mansons work at all hes becoming known as a rebellious teen icon rather than being known as the great singer and artist that he is.this is a real pity for us loyal fans as we are interested in the great music (and videos) and hope that this music could be appretiated more. neadless to say the music will never become more ... more

    4 Stars The golden age of grotesque 20/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazing from start to finish

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little disturbing

    This as many other people agree has to be the best album Marilyn Manson has so far done. The tracks keep you rocking and singing or should I say shouting along from start to finish. Although I have only recently purchased this I had not heard one of the bonus tracks within the cd. I had borrowed the golden age of grotesque from a friend which from listening to it time and time again I decided to go out a buy it myself. When I purchased the album it included 2 bonus tracks which are Tainted Love and Baboon Rape Party. As most people know Tainted love is a cover from the band Soft Cell. Which ... more

    5 Stars My view on marilyn manson - NOT IN TEXT 07/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very good and stress relieving

    Disadvantages Disadvantages there isnt any (so ner)

    This album to me is very good. I like it because it has tracks from all of Mansons past CDs. For all of you who would like to know Hugo is my friend and he wanted me to do this for some reason or another. The thing that i like most about the music manson does is that its compleately different to all of the R n B that everyone in my class listens too, and it makes me feel happy. I also like the music because it has lots of guitar and good lyrics. The thing i like about the lyrics is that they are down to earth and could be describing things that could happen in reality. I also like the way the ... more
