ripe (with decay)

Review Score: (8/10)
Despite your personal tastes, interests, and/or religious beliefs, Antichrist Superstar is a great album. Not only great from the standpoint of musical content and production (Marilyn Manson should eternally kiss Trent Reznor's ass for making his career) but also great for all that it represented. EVERYONE's parents hated Marilyn Manson. It was a return to basics for rock and roll, and the angst-ridden goth kids of America thanked him in abundance for it. There is some very good material here, particularly the title track, Tourniquet, The Beautiful People, 1996, and the morosely elegant Man That You Fear. As mentioned before, the production is a key element in the album's potency. Nine Inch Nails auteur Trent Reznor manned the controls for this one, providing decayed and ambient atmospherics as groundwork for the riff-heavy industrial monolith that Manson provided. This proved to be the pinnacle of Manson's death rock perversions, and it remains a career-defining accomplishment
