| | Marilyn Manson: album reviews and ratings |
 | | The band draws equally from schlock-metal, progressive metal, new wave, goth rock, and industrial rock, and with the help of producers Trent Reznor and Dave Ogilvie, the group creates a boiling, mockingly satanic mess of guitars, synthesizers, and ridiculously 'scary' vocals. |
 | | Though the sonic details make Anitchrist Superstar an intriguing listen, it's not as extreme as it could have been -- in particular, the guitars are surprisingly anemic, sounding like buzzing vacuums instead of unwieldy chainsaws. |
 | | It tells the story of Marilyns twin characters, an alien being of some sort that came down to earth, and the rock n roll "dopestars" Omega and the 'Mechanical Animals', and their obsession with Coma White, which is alternately (or simultaneously ?) a woman and a drug. |
