    This is maybe the weakest album from Marilyn Manson, but is still enjoyable album. Great album for fans of goth rock.

    If I Was Your Vampire, Evidence, The Red Carpet Grave, Eat Me, Drink Me & Mutilation is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery também são grandes destaques desse ótimo álbum.

    Álbum muito Bom do MArilyn Manson, não uma obra-prima como Holy Wood (2000), Antichrist Superstar (1996) e Mechanical Animals (1998).

    Mas definitivamente ótimo para esses 2 non-senses críticos que deram revisões negativas, mostrarem que não escutaram o álbum direito ou são retardados 33/100 é idiotice, 10/100 é insano e puta falta de incompetência de um "crítico"

    The mere fact that I am of a fan of Manson contributes very little to my overzealous aptitude towards this album. The theme is very well carried out through the sound, and such indelible lyrics as those of "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Head)" are ingeniously paired with an aesthetic value that is compelling and interpretive.

The generally vampiric nature of this album, matched with it romanticized undertones constitutes a very qualified and aesthetically pleasing "gothic-era" feel, one of which creates a whirl of images when listening to such content. Although hounded by some, "Eat Me Drink Me" is simply fabulous, both artistically and sonically.… Expand

    Marilyn Manson knows how to work wonders. Combining electronic notes with traditional rock and meaningful lyrics to top it, this definitely his best album all together to date. I can't wait for February.

    I've read a lot of reviews that talk about how this album was "universally unappealing," but I'm here to tell you that it is really a very good album. Manson himself will admit that he was in a very bad place when he made this album. He was very upset about a lot of things, and in Eat Me, Drink Me, it shows. It's a very emotional album. Not his best, but I love it.

    The first half of the album is unbelievable. I love it. If I Was Your Vampire is amazing. They Said That Hell's Not Hot is my favorite on the album. However, Are You The Rabbit is not very good. Despite the reviews, I found this album very good. However, it's not as "metal" as the rest of his albums. This CD is more rock-oriented. I'd recommend it, though.

    And for the record, these "mom" types writing reviews just to say they hate Manson as a person make me sick. I guarantee they didn't listen to this album. They just automatically assume he's some sort of terrorist. It's ridiculous.    … Expand

    Your enjoyment of Eat Me, Drink Me will largely depend on what you thought of Manson's 2003 release, The Golden Age Of Grotesque.

EM,DM is somewhat mellower and has an almost experimental feel to it, in essence this album shows Marilyn Manson struggling to find some much needed direction and maturity. Unlike The Golden Age EM,DM isn't out to offend, nor is it trying to target his familiar angry teenager audience, lyrically speaking most of it is superior to his previous release. Musically speaking it isn't nearly as catchy as The Golden Age but it feel like he's finally making the music he wants to make rather then trying to appeal to the age bracket that made him famous in the 90s. Older Manson fans will likely get the most out of this album but even then this material is artistically transitional in nature and won't appeal to everyone. Approach it with an open mind though and you just might find yourself pleasantry surprised.… Expand

    Pretty poor in comparison with his earlier work. "Heart Shaped Glasses" is decent enough, but on the whole, the album feels devoid of originality or passion.

    This is by far the worst Manson CD that has ever been made. If you compleatly forget that is was manson that made it then it is allmost ok to hear. It has no bite at all and the lines are lame. I was once a big manson fan but n longer.

    In my opinoin GAOG was Marilyn Mansons best album. Maybe thats just because I like metal, but those songs where hard and fast and great. These songs sound like a dead frog croaking to spooky haunted house music. Slow and boring. What the heck MM?

    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.

    Definitely a good album, as long as you are not expecting an industrial/metal album. I felt the last album (Golden Age...) tried a few new things but mostly tried to recreate the Antichrist Superstar sound, to mixed results. This album goes off in another direction and succeeds because of it. Definitely worth a listen.

    fuck everyone who says the album sucks. manson is an artist and everything he does is supposed to reflect HIM not what YOU assholes want. and you should like the music for the music itself, not for what is "mainstream" and what's not. you're ridiculoussss. fucking amazing album.

    I think Manson is a true artist. This album is a proof of his staying true to his feelings and state of mind. He's not making any compromise. He's telling his story, this time with other words and notes and that's what being creative means. He's different (but why should he be the same?), he's alive, more alive than so many. Art is about movement and change. I I think Manson is a true artist. This album is a proof of his staying true to his feelings and state of mind. He's not making any compromise.

    Just a great album, superb, the guitar rifts make me wanna learn how to play just so I can play his tunes, the lyrics are the usual, extremely smart and clever, like most people have said this album is much more personal than say, Golden Age of Groutesque, this is his best work in my opinion

    you know...not everything has to be released. he should've shelved this trash when he had the chance...and retire quietly. but no...he released it. hes also touring with slayer this year. i hope all the slayer fans bludgen him with toilet seats [and im certain they will] maybe then he'll stop wasting his [true] fans' time and money with shit records like this.

    I have been and still am a huge Manson fan and he is really the greatest influence for someone willing to understand the deep message behind the glam and the shock: and that message is - go out and seek knowledge, try to stand out as an original person, don't be trapped in taboos and stereotypes.

That said, the only fair review I read here is from D P. I don't think Manson has ever been even close to commercial and he surely isn't now. He's an artist in the true sense because ultimately he wishes to do what he wants and what pleases him. I'd say The Golden Age of Grotesque and Holy Wood were considered bad because the singles were more an appeal to the masses (the same old stuff, same beats as TBP, the same appealing choruses) than what I think Manson would have like to do. I believe what he's doing now is really what he wanted to do and I sincerely think this album is his 3rd greatest, right after ACS (the best album I know of) and MA. It has some awesome songs (2,4,5,8,9) and it's short because all the commercial "hit songs" are simply not there. I believe people analyzing Manson for his "cultural influence" in America right now are too stupid to understand that an individual artist doesn't have any pre-defined social function which he has to be trapped to all his life.… Expand
