hello. I just got the album last week.

There's some really annoying shit that could of been changed to improve it.

The echoing on nearly every damn track is annoying as fuck. Also the over dramatic vocals; 'i'm not mechaaaniccaall'.

What's really getting on my nerves is manson doesn't write songs. He just writes words that don't ryhme or flow. Go to a manson lyric page and you'll see.

I have also ordered AS. That will be here next week.

YES I'M ANAL, can't help it man. It just pisses me off when albums could be better with a few obvious adjustments.

MANSON MAKE YOUR LYRICS RHYME INTO A SONG FOR GOD DAMN SAKE!

Yupp I love Marilyn Manson. I have Mechanical Animals and Antichrist Superstar. Both great albums.

I like Marliy Manson too.

this is still my favorite album of his. i love the glam/bowie influence that covers whole album.

listen to "i don't like the drugs" and try to not hear "fame".

Mechanical Animals is one of his best albums, IMO.

Mechanical Animals is his best album IMO. Love the album it has so many great and diffrent songs on it.

Mechanical Animals is my favorite Marilyn Manson album also.

a total rip off of ziggy stardust..OH NO ONE CAUGHT THAT...well lets see..in this album manson calls himself omega..as did bowie called himself ziggy...with that said..this album is only good cause it rips off bowie.

we all know that

i used to have it. i really liked it.

weepingwall said:

what do you mean "no one caught that?" it was practically the selling point when it came out. and he was doing covers of things like "Golden Years" at the time, so it's not like he was hiding from it either.

what i mean is that it is real horrible that someone would get famous copying something that aldready has been done..

mechanical animaals is my least fave album of his. it was weak in my opinion. the first one and holywood are the bomb! i miss mazza. i hope he releases something soon or his he through with music??

Personally, I love Mechanical Animals. Bowie himself nailed it when he said that it was a very AMERICAN take on Ziggy.

I love how MA is the excessive, capitalist counterpoint to Antichrist Superstar's tale of neo-facism. The character of Omega is a limelight loving narcissist, revelling in the American Dream, whereas AS was an isolated facist consumed by his own hateful ways. MA worked as a beautiful flip side of the same coin. Manson claims that MA is actually a prequel to AS, with Holy Wood as a prequel to MA, making the whole thing a sort of backwards trilogy.

He has a cover of "This Is Halloween" that will be on the Nightmare Before Christmas tribute album.

Manson is a writer. Unlike most "lyricists" most of Manson's words could stand on their own because of the imagery in them. I like that they don't always rhyme, because few things that Manson has ever done are neat and cleaned up.

MM is one of my favorite rock bands ebcause they were able to invent and reinvent themselves a few times and were successful at it. I loved the image they had around the MA time.

Does anyone know if he/they are making any records? I was on the homepage a few months ago and all it was was the homepage, none of the links worked.

you think David Bowie never assimilated any other people's ideas into his work? he's practically made a career of it.

Tessa said:

He even admitted that!

He used to get random books, cut words out and make songs; that's where his early lurics came from. He was showing this on video in a documentary!

You sure smell like it...
