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
Perfection? I think so!
This really is the perfect compilation of Marilyn Manson's talent. Some songs on this album feel like they jumped straight out of the older albums that we know and love, and some of the songs are bursting at the seams with originality never before heard in Manson's music. This album is very brutal, yet very honest, and I personally think that this is his best work. He's grown so much as an artist and a musician, and I'm ready to kill anyone who calls this masterpiece garbage. Running To The Edge Of The World got to me the same way Coma White got to me, and I agree with whoever said it was worth the price of the entire album. This album is, in a word: Perfection. Buy it, whether you're new to Manson or a diehard veteran (like myself). You WILL NOT be disappointed.
He's not "Back." Stop saying he's "Back"!
There are some good moments here--"Devour" isn't bad (despite the lyric, "I'll swallow up all of you like a big bottle of big, big pills"); "15" is straight up good; if "Four Rusted Horses" had better lyrics, I'd like it a bunch; "Into the Fire" is Guns 'N' Roses-esque, but I sort of love it. The bulk of the disc is crap. "Pretty As A Swastika," for instance, doesn't rock nearly hard enough (nor are the words clever enough) to justify it's shock-rock title. It just seems like he's trying too hard--why not call the remix "Pretty As A N****r?" The song makes it painfully clear that Manson, apparently, could use a reminder about shocking with substance instead of style (he used to understand this). "Blank & White" sounds like everything on the radio the last time I listened to the radio. And "Unkillable Monster" sounds like the tepid, blase prom night dance song for all the baby goths into the Twilight movies and its associated Hot Topic merch. Twiggy's guitar work isn't up to his ability; it's by and large completely underwhelming. Regardless, I'll never not buy a Manson album, but seriously, it's getting tough to watch this jerk p**s all over my memories of an already lousy adolescence. A little while away from absinthe and blow might do the guy some good.
Manson Reaches a New High and Low
I can honestly say it sounds nothing like his old work. He said the album was going to be as heavy as Antichrist Superstar but it's not. However, I think Manson has brought new industrial sounds to this new era. Basically, I think it's Manson's worst work yet. It feels as if he isn't trying anymore. Eat Me, Drink Me was at least 5x better than this. Since Twiggy came back, I was expecting something intense and ruthless. It's not a terrible album at all, it's just not his best. Some of the songs are amazing. It is worth buying though.
