  1. Not since "Mechanical Animals" (1998) has he stared within so unblinkingly; the focus pays off in conflicted, nuanced singing that makes some of his past rage sound rote.

    Musically, affairs lack Manson's customary anthemic poise, but tracks like "Heart-Shaped Glasses" draw on Berlin-era Bowie and Iggy's The Idiot with brooding panache. [Jul 2007, p.107]
  3. His career for the last decade is basically that of a chicken with its head lopped off, running around the coop unawares whilst coughing up a never-ending stream of blood. If you couldn't guess, Eat Me, Drink Me is where the fowl finally falls over and collapses in a pile of its fellow poultry's fecal matter.

    It's not as accessible on first listen as his past albums have been, but I think that's the point. This is definitely an album you have to listen to a few times to have it fully sink in and then it's easier to appreciate it for what it is. It's art, not disposable pop music. Expand

    What in god's name are you doing reviewing music you have no critical basis in, Evan B? Did you even listen to the album. Sure, this is derivative, not nearly as good as his other stuff, but Marilyn Manson is a much better role-model than most of our politicians. His glam/goth shtick is just a costume, the man's very intelligent (and capable of a better album). Do a little research before slapping a 0 on something that you think might possibly be offensive because it looks similar to something you thought hinted at bad morals. Expand

    I just had to comment on how hysterical it is to see Spoons commenting that "now" "even" Manson has sold out. Marilyn Manson was a sell-out from the very beginning, my friend. The face-paint and radio-grubbing hooks, as well as the NiN coattail-riding, assure Manson's place as a relentlessly pop-oriented figure. There was never a time where he was not doing all he could to "sell out." This is simply a continuation of that perpetual pattern. Expand
