JacobNFeb 9, 2007Ok. Manson himself said hes not trying to corrupt people. He wants people to be more open about problems they have. The Album was totally fantastic. Manson knows how to blend fantastic lyrics with great beats. Marilyn Manson for president! 2008 bitch.

Jun 9, 2012If I were to look back at Manson's career, I would say that this is one of his 2 best albums, the other being Antichrist Superstar. It does have a few weaker points, like the fight song, but by no means does this take away from the qualities of the album. Songs like The Nobodies ot Target Audience represent some of Manson's pinnacle moments in his song writing.

[Anonymous]Jun 15, 2001This album doesnt even deserve a 0.It shouldnt even be on the market.every teen is lost in this world and becasue of this music that is about teen overdose and killing ,there gonna be lost more because theyll end up killing there self or overdosing because Marilyn Manson or some other band says its ok.

RandyBApr 2, 2005This album is amazing. To date, 'Holy Wood' provides us with Manson's definitive work, combining the melodies of the amazingly underappreciated 'Mechanical Animals' and the noise of 'Antichrist Superstar'. The greatness of the lyrics here are in direct competition with those on 'Mechanical Animals', with a difference-the ones here are darker.

angelwiththescabbedwingsJan 21, 2002This album has a new type of rawnwss to it that MAR1LYN MAN5on hasn't used before. I belueve that it very unlike the rest of his albums, but is more like Antichrist Superstar than the rest. If your looking for heavy riffs, raw singing, and deep mind blowing lyrics, this is the album for you!

SimonBOct 15, 2004I think that Manson is a genius and those people who says that his songs make people kill them self/or other people are nut. If people do such thing it's not only because of the song, I think that there has to be something wrong with you if you kill your self/or other persons. Just my opinion and Manson deserves a 10

RickyD.Jul 9, 2001This album'a awsome, I love Manson, I love his sound, I like the way he stands up for what he believes in Manson is by far the best music artist of all time.

-
SatanSep 14, 2001An excellent display of solid songwriting, arguably his best to date, once again proving that there's more to Manson than dodgy Alice Cooper make-up and ridiculous stage props. Definately worth investigating, and a good place to start for newcomers.

TimothyW.Oct 15, 2001Although just about every song in this album uses the word "God", I happen to think it is one of his best yet. I happen to like it a little more than Anti-christ Superstar, and thats just strange for me.

CrashOverrideSep 26, 2001This is by far the best Marilyn Manson album yet.I can actually relate to the lyrics and I love how he stands up for what he believes in.

HunterBNov 16, 2005An amazing album. Manson has managed to blend the sound of Antichrist Superstar with that of Mechanical Animals, making this album both abrasive and melodic. Manson's lyrics are better than ever. While formulaic at times, this is a great album.

Oct 11, 2012This album was the rebirth of Marilyn. Although the beats are very similar, it's very respectable. One of the best was target audience (narcissus narcosis), along with burning flag and coma black. The antichrist superstar is back!

Oct 7, 2017The best album ever released by Marilyn Manson, is so full of energy in both lyrics & melodies, have the best Metal melodies of MM and great ballads too, isn't easy say the best tracks because every track in this **** disc is a anthem, Yes better than Antichrist Superstar to me.
-
Oct 17, 2016.........................................................................................................A Masterpiece very underrated for Dumb critics.
Holy Wood Deserves more than 80% Universal Acclaim This album is **** Brilliant.
Rolling Stone Fail dumb with Marilyn Manson no one album have more than 70 come-on -
Jul 30, 2016Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) is Manson's most angry, hard-hitting and straight-up album. It takes jabs at practically everything that was wrong with American society at the time of the recording, and this album still feels relative almost sixteen years after it's release, which indicates that not much has changed since then.
-
Jan 6, 2016Magnus Opum of Marilyn Manson, Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) (2000),IS PERFECT from START to FINISH, Marilyn Manson is UNDERRATED,How?? he don't won grammy awards from this perfect metal album,and From Antichrist 96 and Mechanical 98

Apr 2, 2016A Full Masterpiece Metal Album..................... MarilynManson proved that he is also a great artist, and not only a controversial John Doe, he is a great artist in music, lyrics, and in voice.....

Mar 20, 2021Best way to describe this album is a simple word - masterpiece! Awesome record without weak song. I'm absolutely in love with this record.
-
Apr 18, 2020This and Antichrist Superstar are brilliant works of art and it’s also teaching people to just be themselves in a way you know be your own individual selves
-
Jun 23, 2020This is Marilyn Manson's best album and a masterpiece, in my opinion. A must for fans.
Awards & Rankings

Where 'Holy Wood' does come together and threaten to transcend its at times cliched parts is in its clarity of vision. This is a lean, visceral album that is as tripwire lithe as its maker. Manson's also remembered to write some great pop-goth tunes this time out, nowhere more so than with first single 'Disposable Teens'.
-
SpinWith nothing fresh to moan about, it's like a seventh James Bond movie without any new gadgets. [12/2000, p.223]

Yeah, it's a party. And it's great rock music. Those who claim Manson "went back to Goth" and reclaimed Antichrist's noise after Mechanical proved too subtle for kids are only partly right. Okay, he virtually cloned his hit "The Beautiful People" in "Disposable Teens." And there are several familiar yell-and-stomp numbers on Holy Wood. But even those almost all contain a double-take chord change or a textural overdose or a mind-blowing bridge, and they'll be terroristic in concert. More important, there are a bunch of plain brilliant tracks where Manson anoints bits of rock history into his own church.
