Album Rating: 3.5
The frustrating thing is that this guy can quite clearly write when he actually takes a moment to think about it and work on the material, but he has zero tolerance for people offering him a helping hand and now he's pissed everyone off.
'He disappeared from the limelight, his antics having as much shock and edge as a spoon, but he came back in a big way with "The Pale Emperor", a much more sombre, mellow, bluesier take on the Manson character'
This actually isn't that bad, it's got some wit to it and 'a much more sombre, mellow, bluesier take' sums Pale Emperor up pretty accurately. It just needs cleaning up and he needs to fix his more glaring formatting issues throughout the rest of the review.
