Jun 13, 2016There's plenty of material worth diving into on this album, but the results could have been much, much stronger.
-
Jun 9, 2016This second album since returning from an absence caused by lack of interest offers nothing new musically, but Manson at full-strength.
-
UncutMay 27, 2016Lyrically, it's the darkness that maintains its grip, sometimes alarmingly so. [Jul 2016, p.74]
-
May 27, 2016Strip away all the sumptuous studio texture and these lyrics--about savage love, violence and revolution--are sodden with adolescent gothpunk cliché. But this scarcely matters when the future arena anthems Magnetized and We Never Tell hit their stride: lusty, energised and refreshingly shallow.

Jun 23, 2016Too much of Strange Little Birds is filler.
-
Jun 20, 2016If only the album had been made up of songs where they’d allowed the songs to be low key and interesting, it could’ve been really good.
-
Jun 13, 2016There’s plenty of build--see the coiling, gothic tension of Blackout – but little release, and a lack of those big, punchy choruses that were their strongest suit. Only Empty and So We Can Stay Alive hit old heights, and not hard enough.
