Much of his earlier work is something that I found to be quite interesting, clever, and even now, I still enjoy it. However, his more recent works (Golden Age of Grotesque and Eat Me, Drink Me) are, musically speaking, terrible.

This saddens me in a manner, for found some meaning and revelry in the background behind much of the Golden Age of Grotesque's lyrics and motives. The music, however, was, simply put, a smurfing disappointment.
