Eat Me, Drink Me

[Moon Rabbits]

Preparing for a storm, but Antichrist Superstar is probably my least favorite, exceptions being Irresponsible Hate Anthem and The Beautiful People. Mechanical Animals is my favorite with Portrait of an American Family being the silver medal.

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.

Although, Mechanical Animals holds first place as my favourite overall album.

The title is an Alice in Wonderland referrence.

It's a million times better than the Golden Age of Grotesque, but still not on par with Mechanical Animals or Holywood... A 7/10?

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

Golden Age was just...okay. It was better than Holy Wood (least favorite) but it still didn't really impress me as much as, say Portrait of an American Family and Mechanical Animals.

Para-Noir and Kaboom though, hot damn.

Late.

Aussi: Holy Wood was great! I really have only heard a few things from him so I guess I can't really....say.

As far as getting generic, there's only so far you can push an envelope.

Actually, Manson has said himself that:

The album's title [Eat Me, Drink Me] was also inspired by that story several years back of the German man who put out an ad that he wanted to be eaten, and the man who ate him. Although I can't relate to the relationship those two had, I found the story very compelling in a romantic way. 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.

Track Listing:

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.

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.
