Marilyn Manson- Golden Age of Grotesque

[DollDaggaBuzzBuzzZiggetyZag]

Great album, but certainly not up to my expectations of such a statured artist such as him. Some of the good songs are DollDaggaBuzzBuzzZiggetyZag, (s)aint and mObscene, but mObscene has been to commercialized and is too popular to appeal to my complicated taste in metal.

Wow, you know your gonna get slagged hardcore right? People here tend to be pretty elitist at times, and even though I'm not a Manson fan I won't be the one to verbally destroy you. Just wanted to give you a fair warning.

Troll account or fanboy?

It's a below-average attempt at trolling. Far too obvious, far too little effort.

This is true enough. A real fanboy would have gone into detail.

I used to be a huge Manson fan years ago, even up to M.animals, but Golden age of.... is the worst shit he has ever done. Its has one tune #6, that even sounds like his work. I know every hates him, and I can see why but in my opinion the first cd Portrait.., is a classic! I will always like Manson but he lost almost all my respect after the latest release and the last two times I seen him live. It was horrible!

 

[anonymousnick2001]

He's always been average at best. His "genius" comes through in his showmanship, not his music.

I think Mechanical Animals was the best album. His rock stuff has always been pretty shitty and boring, but the slower, more atmospheric and spacey songs on Mechanical Animals are works of art. Cold, artistic and emotionally detached from a fake modernized societal utopia. I don't really know how anyone could say songs like The Speed of Pain, Disassociative, Great Big White World, The Last Day On Earth and Coma White aren't eerie and submersive.

I love that album, even if the rock numbers do get tiring after a couple listens. =)

Really now? I've never given it a chance. I've never liked anything Manson fans have played for me so I never looked into it...

he sucks...

I would only listen to his music when I am on a party and there is nothing else... or when rap is an alternative...

MobScene is such a blatant ripoff of Faith No More's 'Be Agressive' that it isn't even funny.

My bad, I thought the title of this website was Ultimate Metal, not Ultimate Pop Industrial.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Depeche Mode are Pop Industrial.

As terrible as MM may be, he still qualifies as a bland abortion of a metal group. Still metal.

surely such a well known metal band as MM would show up on metal archives?

 

[anonymousnick2001]

The Metal Archives are teh geigh.

Firstly, he isn't metal, therefore he isn't on METAL archives.

Secondly, the Metal Archives is one of the best metal resources on the internet, even though it's infested with morons.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

The fact that almost all metal bands, obscure or otherwise, are compiled into an easy-to-use resource is refreshing and convenient. However, the omission of bands deemed as 'mallcore' is unnerving, and many of the album reviews are concoctions of retarded minds, aimless meanderings, or skewed opinions with seemingly nothing serving any means of checking or countering them.

If the archives were willing to sift through album reviews and include the scorned pop-metal groups, I'd give it more of a chance.

 

[no country for old wainds]

"pop metal" is an oxymoron, most of those bands aren't added because they are the former rather than the latter. I agree that the review-filtering process should be tighter.
