iTunes Review

Marilyn Manson’s shock value tends to cloud perceptions of his musicality and intelligence. His music is imbued with the celebratory darkness and glam of Alice Cooper and David Bowie. His passion is palpable, wrapped in layers of dense metal guitar and industrial tones. For The High End of Low Manson regains the spirit of his late ‘90s period when he was public enemy #1. “Arma-goddamn-m**********n-Geddon” and “We’re From America” is Marilyn at his subversive best, exposing society’s hypocrisy and depravity. “I Want to Kill You Like They Do In the Movies” and “Pretty as a Swastika” add to Manson’s catalog of anti-love songs. Manson’s band — keyboardist Chris Vrenna, drummer Ginger Fish, and bassist Twiggy Ramirez (back in after a long hiatus) — operate on "blast-first ask-questions-later" marching orders. It’s the most raw and aggressive Marilyn Manson has sounded in years. No, Manson won't have to go door-to-door to shock people, as lampooned by The Onion; The High End of Low serves that purpose just fine.

Customer Reviews

The High End of Average

Its good but there arn't enough great tracks that made it worth the wait. I really wanted to love this but too many of the tracks are boring. however arma goddam motherfucking geddon is an instant classic, just a shame there arn't more like that on the album.

Great album in its own respect

This album may not be like Manson back in the 1995-2003 period, but this album is awsome nonetheless. Now with bassist/guitarist/songwriter Twiggy Ramirez (Jeordie White) back with Manson (Ramirez was with Manson from Antichrist Superstar to Golden Age) the music is sounding a lot better than EMDM. This album has it all, slow songs and faster songs, filled with great lyrics. To me EMDM was all slow boring songs with the exception of a bout 2 songs, but this album alternates quite well. This album sees Manson back on form and you have to admire his willingness to stay in the business, as you can see at 40 he hasn't run out of ideas just yet!

Expectations are a tricky matter indeed

As a loyal MM fan dating back to the nineties, when their shock infused glam and industrial rock had a place on a pedestal for not only teenage angst but also, for their lyrical wit and integrity given the contemporary competition. This album falls shy of even his more recent releases. The High End of Low is a very difficult album to engage with, its rhythms though on the fringe of excellence feel constrained and heartless to a point. The reinclusion of previous bass guitar player, Twiggy Ramírez is definitely felt through the mesh that is the work. The content on this album is, is stretched to mesh. There's enough lyrical content for two or even three releases, and music for just under half. Shame there's no do-overs in this business, previous fans should be weary of taking the album in its entirety, I'd recommend going track by track.

Love him or hate him, the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar" — Marilyn Manson — was indisputably among the most notorious and controversial entertainers of the 1990s. Celebrated by supporters as a crusader for free speech and denounced by detractors as little more than a poor man's Alice Cooper, Manson was the latest in a long line of shock rockers, rising to the top of the charts on a platform of sex, drugs, and Satanism. Though widely dismissed by critics, his brand of metal nevertheless...
