Certainly gonna polarize people, but Manson does a good job of mixing new sounds with old. Sure it's mostly in a softer direction, but that turned out to not be such a bad thing.

Never was a huge fan of the dude's music, but this is pretty cool. Industrial tones fight with gothic epics and atmospheric textures to take over the mainly alt rock aesthetic. It's when Manson doesn't try to replicate his Antichrist Superstar persona that he's the most interesting. "We Are Chaos" and "Don't Chase the Dead" sound like downright cheesy Bowie songs, but they still retain enough industrial knack for them not to sound anachronical. Damn. I really didn't expect such a melodic record, gg boi.

His third best album behind Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals. Has extreme replayability, every song is a bop off the new Manson album. His most introspective and unique album in his discography. Manson hasn't sounded this fresh and energetic since Antichrist Superstar. The lyricism is more rudimentary and poppy on here, but that works much to Manson's advantage unlike on Heaven Upside Down, Born Villain, or The Pale Emperor. Every song flows into one another in perfect sync. Possibly his best tracklist and structure for an album.

2020 sees legendary shock-rocker Marilyn Manson releasing what is arguably the least shock-rock (and most alternative rock) album of his entire career along with 2007's Eat Me, Drink Me. Sure, there a few songs whose choruses go for that barn-burner kind of feel, but a notable majority of this record is quite ballad-heavy, which for Manson surely is nothing new at this point, but rarely have we seen so many of them on a single project. Even though people who aren't even really willing to properly familiarize themselves with some of his best records like Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood keep claiming that his entire artistry merely just boils down to playing a cultural boogeyman over cooky industrial rock tracks for mallgoth teens, Marilyn has had quite a knack for delivering very emotionally potent songs, some of which are also ballads. And with his blues-rocky, post-Born Villain material not at all being as bad as it became throughout the 2000's and containing some enjoyable ballads as well, this could mean a solid record for Manson perhaps. The first single however, already spoiled to me right off the bat that this was probably not going to be the case. There are a small handful of tracks like Paint You With My Love that go over well enough for me, but I think a lot of them just feel a little mushy and forgettable, albeit still fairly listenable. Manson also still has the tendency to lyrically not be consistently on point, as tracks such as Broken Needle with lyrics like "I am a needle/dig in your grooves/scratch you up/then I'll put you away" just come off as painfully melodramatic imagery.

Rated in relation to other music out today, I would rate higher. Within the Marilyn Manson catalogue, it's hard to top his best stuff. Still a really solid album. Very different for MM and quite enjoyable. Recommend Paint you With My Love, Red Black and Blue, Broken Needle
