MojoBetter than the conceptual barf of its predecessor Holy Wood, but not as sharp as his best record to date, '98's glammy Mechanical Animals. [Jun 2003, p.100]
-
Q MagazineThe good news is that Grotesque rocks like a bastard.... Not so good news is that Manson's shock shtick still lacks real substance. [Jun 2003, p.103]

It's an inferior re-run of the Marilyn Manson hammer horror panto that's been showing since '96.

-
BlenderHis campiest, and skimpiest, since his debut. [#17, p.138]
