Marilyn. Manson.
A name that inspires the most disgusting of indifference or laughter, and that's a shame 'cause behind the glitter of a provocative character intelligently created and maintained to please a specific audience lies a group rock, not bad at that.
The last album was damn Reverend flat, "Eat Me Drink Me", was sorely lacking inspiration, and the fans could only rejoice at the return of Mr. Twiggy Ramirez, bassist and composer of many of the flagship titles of the best period of the group (Holy Wood and Mechanical Animals). Moreover Goon Moon parallel project of the gentleman has the luxury of having written some very good songs (Sleep with a gun, apple pie).
The first track "teaser" sounded very well, "We're From America" a violent painting of American society, very rock, a bass line that we had not heard for a while, it felt very good .
The single "Goddamnmotherfuckinggeddon" add a layer of impatience to discover Album proves to be one of the best song in both the abrupt (the title) and self-mockery ("fuck, kill, etcætera).
Here is the album that is supposed to sign the back of one of the coolest villains who have been ...
And it succeeded. While all songs are not good (but they have never all been on an album manson) and it lacks something to compete with a Mechanical Animal or Holy Wood.
However, we easily find a handful of titles very pleasing to the ear, starting with "Devour," one of the best songs ever written by the duo in my opinion, a true pearl of this album. We also adore "Unkillable Monster" track where Brian Warner talks about her character ("how the fuck Are We Supposed to Know When I'm a monster The Way You refuse to die"), and the two pieces that preceded the album "We're From America" and "Arma goddamn mother fucking geddon.
No title is then missed, and there is always something to be put in the tooth but there is definitely really exciting than 4 tracks on this album ...
It still falls under the spell of "Into the Fire" from "Four Rusted Horses" and its side old blues, "Running To The Edge Of The World" and "15" (actually "walks" mansoniennes). We also understand little by little that the album tells a story (the songs are in the order they were written and recorded) and found enfn consistency that did not jump to my eyes.
Those who say that everything is reused a slurry of the group was previously understood nothing. One must look elsewhere and find another version of Manson. Manson has a soft, not necessarily for the worse.
Admittedly, it became harder to be the big bad anti-American when Obama is president (MM even admits he voted for the first time), and when it was exposed on an album musically flat.
A good album, not the back with a bang, but he's back on track, your
Antichrist Superstar, Marilyn Manson
