| | MARILYN MANSON - RANKED (2026 Edition) | | 15 |  | Marilyn Manson
Born Villain
I like 2-3 songs on here, and that’s in spite of the whole thing sounding like dog shit. Bottom of the barrel fat Manson.
27 | | 14 |  | Marilyn Manson
The Golden Age of Grotesque
One of the most irritating albums i can think of. What a waste of his prime years. There are a few great cuts on here, but for everything else, the quirky, pop-driven writing is hard to listen to.
35 | | 13 |  | Marilyn Manson
Smells Like Children
Awful, but Sweet Dreams is an all timer.
37 | | 12 |  | Marilyn Manson
We Are Chaos
Has not aged well. Good songs on here, but it feels messy.
71 | | 11 |  | The Spooky Kids
Lunchboxes & Choklit Cows
Portrait but less tight, and less memorable.
74 | | 10 |  | Marilyn Manson
Eat Me, Drink Me
A bit mid, but i love the sound of this one, and the standout tracks are really great.
75 | | 9 |  | Marilyn Manson
Heaven Upside Down
Really all over the place, but the goth-leaning tracks rule, and the heavy tracks are admittedly a lot of fun (even if his vocals are subpar)
76 | | 8 |  | Marilyn Manson
The High End Of Low
His most underrated venture. Boasts his worst song of all time “WOW” and is waayyyyy too long, but it’s consistently really great and has good performances. The whole first half is a 10/10

One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1
An album that feels like a true comback. I hate Sacrilegious (i can somewhat tolerate it now, but i still don’t like it) and i feel like the tracklist is a bit messy (compared to Chapter 2) but god, every song here is great, and Manson sounds fantastic.

Portrait of an American Family
May be a lesser album than Chapter 1, however i just love the sound of this one. I’m sad he retired this style of vocal after Antichrist Superstar, because the lower register sounds nice and has a lot of power behind it. The vocals are less technically impressive than Mechanical Animals and onward, but the energy and vibe is unmatched. There are so many fun cuts on here, with a lot feeling like Alice In Chains from hell, but i think it’s too long and loses steam by the end. A shame some of the cut tracks were left out in favor of those later cuts.

The Pale Emperor
Peak fat manson, where his rough, drunken crooning actually fits the tone of the record. It’s aged and gritty, and quite captivating. One of his most mature and engrossing records.
94 | | 4 |  | Marilyn Manson
One Assassination Under God - Chapter 2
Most comparable to High End of Low in sound, but with a well developed atmosphere and flawless structure. This has the best instrumentation of this era easily, with a lot of fun production tricks and memorable guitar leads. His most consistent and enjoyable since Holy Wood, and i felt that immediately. We’re so back.
97 | | 3 |  | Marilyn Manson
Mechanical Animals
Sleek and masterful, a highlight of the 90’s for rock music.
97 | | 2 |  | Marilyn Manson
Holy Wood
The tightest thing they’ve ever released, has the aggression of Superstar, but the polish of Mechanical Animals, and his vocals are in top form (even if i prefer the unhinged belting on Antichrist Superstar)
99 | | 1 |  | Marilyn Manson
Antichrist Superstar
My #9 album of all time. Visceral, disgusting, and the most convincingly dangerous music to ever be released by a mainstream artist.

08.16.26 | A topical list | DrGonzo1937
08.16.26 | interesting list. i'd have smells like children last, that shit is awful lol. need to run through some of these albums again, i've not heard a lot of them in years. | Brabiz
08.16.26 | Sweet Dreams is just so good that it gets top billing over the other 2, which i enjoy more tracks off of, but i revisit much less. Rock n Roll N’wah is also a good cover. | DrGonzo1937
08.16.26 | sweet dreams is the only track with any value for me.
also get why BV is so low. that's one i've listened to the least, i need to give it a spin. i remember the production being really stripped back. | DrGonzo1937
08.16.26 | also, golden age has the best production for me, despite being manson's worst lyrically | Brabiz
08.16.26 | I think that’s why Golden Age pisses me off so bad. Best performances, best production, and it’s all just annoying. | DrGonzo1937
08.16.26 | completely agree lol | Brabiz
08.16.26 | I remember an interview where he was like “yeah im satirizing pop music with annoying lyrics” like, sure, but you’re still making pop music with annoying lyrics. Idc if its “for the bit” or “to make a point” | Brabiz

Godmod grotesque burlesque drag
-this shit even irritated me when i was like 10 years old. |
