Aug 22, 2018I think critically the High End of Low is Marilyn Manson's most underrated record. There are moments which are not ideal and come off as cheesy rather than shocking or thought provoking. The album was written during a form of break down which had Marilyn Manson writing the songs on the walls in his home. Excluding the cheesy tracks from the record, I would say it's among Manson's finest.

Nov 10, 2017Tem uma das mĂşsicas mais fracas da carreira de MM= Wow.
Outras duas boas, mas quase medianas como **** e I Have Just To Look Up To See Hell.
Porém É repleto também de excelentes faixas como Devour, Leave A Scar, Blank and White, Wight Spider, Running To The Edge of The World, Into The Fire & ETC.
Um Bom álbum de Marilyn Manson. -
Dec 11, 2016It's another let down I'm afraid. After a few up-tempo numbers, it quickly reverts to dull and not-very-interesting rock. Here's hoping that one day, in the not too distant future, another glam-rock Manson album is created.
Yes...I've copied and pasted this from 'Born Villain' - both equal in every way. -

GholemSSep 8, 2009It's alright though not so good as M.A or Hollywood.

AgonystesBAug 31, 2009Better than Eat me, Drink me, but hardly a good/great album. The lyrics are juvenile, do not provoke thought, and feel tired and recycled. In the end there are maybe 3-4 enjoyable songs, but the rest is lost on a poor attempt to rekindle past success and shock factor.

JMAug 6, 2009i don't know how anyone can take this album seriously. it's the most boring, uninspired waste of time ever. there's no fire at all. as some-one else said it's "like having some-one pee in your ass". even that doesn't fully describe how bad this is.

KatrinaS.Jul 6, 2009This album incorporates all of Manson's complex and diverse talents. In my opinion, this is the best album Manson has released in years.

TomJun 23, 2009I find the user vs critics rating discrepancy interesting. anyways, this isn't a groundbreaking, important or relevant album in any way. it's not the 90's anymore. but it doesn't really matter because it doesn't really try to be. this album is exactly what i wanted it to be - catchy, fun guilty pleasure goth rock. and i love it.

BryanMJun 11, 2009Marilyn Manson has obviously run out of ideas. I, too, lost all faith in him after Eat Me, Drink Me, but I was willing to give this another chance. However, with uninspired tracks, weak political commentary, and music that I could come to expect from a Jeffree Star album, there is nothing worth listening to.

JimmyJamesJun 4, 2009I had lost all confidence in Marilyn Manson after his last release (Eat Me, Drink Me), but the return of Twiggy Ramirez appears to be a contributing factor in Manson's success. This album contains some of Manson's best material in almost a decade.

blackieblaxJun 3, 2009Better than previous album, but i feel like manson's music has reached its peak with MecAnimals and probably Holywook was the last good album.

JEJun 3, 2009A fairly weak effort. Tame and uninteresting production. Definitely not as heavy as we were lead to believe it was going to be.

JusinLJun 2, 2009Is it me or does this album have 2 or 3 Coma White like tracks? Of course critics are going to diss MM's new albums because they are waiting for the next Anti-Christ or at least Mechanical Animals. This album is almost genius. If it wasn't so repetitive and had less ballads it would be a 10 for sure. Musically tuned and fun to listen to.

DrRetardJun 1, 2009Very good and a bloody good grower too. Actively worth finding and buying. Standout is devour. For me at least!

LuciferJMay 31, 2009Awesome album...the band has reinvented themselves....best album since holy wood...vast diversity.

InsomniacJunkieMay 31, 2009After a few listens I have to say that it's the best stuff he has done in years. Chemistry between the band was a sorely missed element of Eat Me Drink Me that is very evident on Manson's newest. Definitely check this out!!

RonnieSMay 31, 2009Critics once again miss the spot. This by far manson at his best. A well balanced album I think it is the best album since Mechanical Animals but in a way better. This album is a complete 180 from Eat Me Drink Me I don't know how anyone could compare the two.

PabloVMay 29, 2009Great Album for true fans.

-
JohnWMay 29, 2009I'm giving it a nine because it really needs it. It really isn't a bad album, maybe an 8, but the middle is boring. I advise not sitting through it all at once. Take a break and then resume.

JeffreyHMay 29, 2009The negative reviews are inevitable with an artist like Manson, with the image often taking the precedent over the artist
-
-
AidanMMay 29, 2009before i bought it i actually feared it might not be very good since he's been in the industry for so long and a lot of long-lasting artists' work tends to become kind of inert after their peak period, but this album is not that at all. it's quality music to the end.

Perhaps the only interesting thing about Manson's latest record is the couple of anomalies hidden within.
-
Assuming they haven’t all grown up by now, Manson fans will adore every dark, juvenile flourish. For the rest of us, The High End Of Low serves as a cautionary tale of artistic regression.

Q MagazineManson the man at least seems re-energised here....The same cannot always be said for his band; their limp glam metal consistently threatens to undermine the performance. [Jul 2009, p.127]
