    Wow ... did people vote based on listening to the entire album or just downloads from somewhere? An album inspired by his recent divorce and new found love, it is recorded at his home with just him and his guitarist. Hence, this album is not meant to be as well produced as his others. But somehow it is a more genuine piece of work - for the ones who has the moral flexiblility that is.

    Melodically intriguing and subtle in its own way. Understated high drama: how does he do that? It's not just a matter of wearying from the usual shock-rock aesthetic, so that the understated comes as a bigger shock. It's just a very honest work of art from an artist who is tired, but not uninspired....

    I loved it.It' s different . It's not something you'd expect from Manson and I was kind of confused with the lyrics as they were no shocking and "fuck the system" style at all comparing to his other albums(they are too...love concerned) but that doesnt make it a bad album.In fact the more I hear it the better it seems to me. An artist is supposed to express what's I loved it.It' s different .

An artist is supposed to express what's within.Well that's just what he did. Just because it's not an angry album that doesn't meen it sucks.Well I liked it.… Expand

    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.

Art is about movement and change. I really appreciate this movement and change in the alternation of rough and soft sound and lyrics. They may not be perfect from a specialist point of view (I'm not one), but you can feel his artistic torments, he's giving his best. Chapeau! :)… Expand

    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

    Best Mr Manson work since Mechanical Animals. Amazing guitar work and such an improvement in Manson's voice and sonwriting skills. This kind of sounds proves that Mr Manson can be more than just a guy with lipstick screaming obscenities. Who cares about politics and religion when heart broken feelings can sound this good?

    Another amazing record. Similar to Mechanical Animals in sound, but very different in focus and intensity. Fans will love it, fans of old rock will find it easier to get into then most of his stuff. Anyone who is knocking it just doesn't like Manson, ignore them.

    Reminds a lot of Mechanical Animals, which is my favorite Marilyn Manson album up to now. Eat Me Drink Me shows that Manson isn't afraid to sound different. If you expect heaviness and raging vocals you'll probably be disappointed, but for what it is - a good mixture of industrial rock and 80s electropop - this album sounds great.

    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.

    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

    Great album indeed! Putting Holes In Happiness, The Red Carpet Grave, They Said That Hell's Not Hot, Heart-Shaped Glasses, Evidence and Eat Me, Drink Me are all 100% Manson classics. Third best album by Manson, ever.

    I picked up this CD today and listened to most of it. At first listen this album is slightly disappointing when compared to Manson's previous works especially his 2003 release which may have been his most musically powerful album yet. However when considering Manson's current situation (and recent personal events) combined with his nearing the age of 40, its obvious Manson is I picked up this CD today and listened to most of it.

However when considering Manson's current situation (and recent personal events) combined with his nearing the age of 40, its obvious Manson is more appreciative of musical creation and is seeking deeper meanings in his music. He clearly made this album for his own tastes and even admits its his first album he enjoys listening to. Also when listening over and over this album grows on you and is filled with passion and emotion some of his past music severely lacks. Maybe whats so shocking now about the Antichrist Superstar isnt his image but his willingness to now show his real personality.… 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 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.

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

    There's nothing quite as immediate or fantastic as 'Disposable Teens' here, but the album on the whole is a triumph.

    The songs and Ziggy guitar solos are more accessible than usual. Manson can croak like an undead, but can't sing to save his life.
