Sep 10, 2020While chaos and confusion may surround us, Manson’s response this time is a dose of respite, mercy, clarity and his most human work so far.
-
Sep 11, 2020We Are Chaos uses a pretty masterful balance of old and new sounds, similar to the way he integrated The Pale Emperor’s bluesy framework with his own ghoulish traits.
-
Sep 11, 2020Overall, the production, musicianship, and songwriting are among the best of Manson’s career.
-
Sep 14, 2020Manson has given his audience a collection of tracks that are stronger, tougher and better than they have any right to be. His ascendance led to the death of the original rock era, but his music is more vital and creative than ever. A stunning work.
-
Sep 11, 2020As the years of shock tactics and theatrics fade into memory, Manson's left with just the music, aging as gracefully as he can with another expertly crafted offering for the altar.
-
Sep 10, 2020It’s not pared back, but WE ARE CHAOS is a less immediately antagonistic and forward prospect than recent output. But that’s a good thing that’s been mastered to darkly brilliant effect here. Unexpected, bold and artistic, Manson remains an artist it is dangerous to underestimate.

Classic Rock MagazineSep 25, 2020Baroque, doom-laden proclamations are Manson's bread and butter, and We Are Chaos is stuffed with them. [Oct 2020, p.86]
-
Sep 11, 2020At just ten tracks, it’s an easy listen. Of course, some of them have more repeat playability than others, but there are none that feel like filler.
-
MojoSep 23, 2020We Are Chaos thrives when Manson ditches his horrorcore shtick and actually emotes. [Nov 2020, p.80]
-
Sep 10, 2020There are lots of glam stompers-by-numbers. He teamed up with country singer Shooter Jennings to make the album, and the organic simplicity of country chord progressions lies beneath much of the industrial post-punk chrome shell.
-
Rolling StoneSep 10, 2020This batch of cadaverous Bowie-isms won't leave fang marks on your memory. [Sep 2020, p.68]
