Antichrist Superstar had some killer songs, but others weren't too well done. Tourniquet, Man That You Fear, Little Horn, and Track 99 are some of my favourite Manson songs.Quote:

Some great songs, though. "The Red Carpet Grave" is the best track on the record.

As far as getting generic, there's only so far you can push an envelope.
Actually, Manson has said himself that:Quote:

I think a lot of people wouldn’t look at it as romantic, but it was to them in some sick way, and it is to me in some sick way, too.
1. "If I Was Your Vampire" – 5:56
2. "Putting Holes in Happiness" – 4:31
3. "The Red Carpet Grave" – 4:05
4. "They Said That Hell's Not Hot" – 4:17
5. "Just a Car Crash Away" – 4:55
6. "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)" – 5:05
7. "Evidence" – 5:19
8. "Are You the Rabbit?" – 4:14
9. "Mutilation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery" – 3:52
10. "You and Me and the Devil Makes 3" – 4:24
11. "Eat Me, Drink Me" – 5:40
These titles are so generic. "Putting Holes in Happiness" what the smurf, man, what the smurf.
I think MM might be suffering from a receeding hairline.
When you look at Manson you can't really compare one album to another because they were meant to be different.
Portrait was the young angsty punk CD that had it's influences in tripping acid. It's a good CD, but not a whole lot into it other than some great disturbing hooks.
Smells Like Children was a filler CD. Manson had already been working on Antichirst Superstar for a long time, but it wasn't ready yet when he needed to put something out. I would often consider this the gateway CD into Manson's stardom. Sweet Dreams did a lot for his fame.
AntiChrist Superstar is the nihilistic masterpiece seething with Nitchze philosophy. It has such a heavy sound because of that Nihilistic theme and the personal experiments in human deprevity that Manson was pulling on himself.
To me, Mechanimal Animals has always been a Manson meets Pink Floyd album, and I love it. It's not just the about feelings, but the strange time of growing to feel anything at all again and dealing with the akwardness with drug use.
I also love Holywood. It's dark and moody and full of metaphorical smurfing with society, with undertones of sophistication and intelligence.
I don't like GAOG much at all. I've probably only listened to the actual CD less than ten times over the years, because it wasn't so enjoyable the times I did listen to it.
I don't like the faded echo singing style he uses so much lately. I don't think Manson can sing anymore. He uses that sound so much it makes me wonder if he broke his voice and hides it behind protools now.
