Marilyn Manson

The Golden Age Of Grotesque

Truely is the Age of Grotesque

Review Score:

(6/10)
As a fan, I waited in anticipation for this album to be released. When it finally was and I listened to it, I was confused. It was awful, and I wasn't sure of the cause. I didn't know if this was some joke, mocking something or the ideas just ran out. I took into account the decline in quality since Mechanical Animals, but I didn't want to accept the possibility that this was in fact not a joke. As time went on I began to feel that my fears are most likey true. The music is awful, the lyrics are funny if this album is actually a satire, but pathetic if they're not.

If this album was meant as a joke, poking fun at music or how people will swarm over anything regadless of the fact of how terrible it is, it's awesome. However if it's not, this has got to be one of the worst ablums I have ever had the misfortune of purchasing. So bad not even terrorists would use this as means to inflict suffering.

Why did I give it three stars? If the album is indeed a satire/joke, it's awesome and deserves five stars. If it's not, it's terrible and deserves only one (none if you could.) Since I don't know, I'll average it out and give it three.
