wow thats really interesting how u ranked the GAOG and Portrait so high and ACS so low. i like portrait, there are tons of clever and catchy songs on it, but i would def. rank ACS higher, "Man That You Fear" alone beats out everything on GAOG  in my opinion. why do u like GAOG so much?

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

GAOG is weak in my opinion.


i'd say, with 2 top songs to prove it

1- Mechanical Animals (i dont like the drugs, user friendly)
2- AntiChrist Superstar (reflecting god, 1996 ... too many)
3- Portrait of an American Family (Lunchbox, Wrapped In Plastic)

4- Holy Wood (King Kill 33 - the end beat is a killer)
5- Goden Age (doll dagga buzz buzz )

[PJ]

You know, I truely don't know why I ranked it so high. I was going to put that in my post, "I dunno why I'm putting this so high but I am." I realize it's a ... controversial album amongst fans, and I have my moods about it, too. I think it just reflects my mood at the moment, it felt right. I generally regard Portrait pretty highly. Nothing they've done has touched Mechanical Animals. I truely like all their albums very much, Antichrist never gelled with me too much though. Always felt like NIN-lite to me. Very intelligent album, but the mix is muddy especially next to Mechanical Animals, and I remember when it first came out how different a sound they came into and how many fans they picked up that I think I'd have rathered they didn't. But that's gonna happen with any band, no matter what. "Man That You Fear" is a beautiful song, agreed. But to answer your question, I've always had a soft spot for the album because I'm really in love with his lyrical patterns and word play and I think it really brought him to a different level musically, although I see how that wasn't a level a lot could really get behind. The subject matter concerning the album was also a conceptual step up from Holy Wood in my opinion. While Holy Wood is gorgeously written and produced, it's sometimes too much of a retread to the Antichrist days for me. Golden Age was something very different. It's still a shame John 5 was so underused, but his contributions, however reserved, will always be a standout to me. And I've always liked Tim Skold whereas I never much cared for Twiggy (on a personal level, he's a very competent player).
That all said, I've listened to "If I Was Your Vampire." I still hate the title and the song is nowhere near what it was initially hyped to be, but it's growing on me and is a step up from the single. I have high hopes for the album.

i like his new song, reminds me of old freaky spaced out manson!

well thats an interesting take on it, i understand where u are coming from.

these songs are good but when all the reviews kept comparing this new album to the personal tracks of Mechanical Animals, i guess i set my standards a little high. lyrically these two songs don't touch the emotional tracks from? MA like "Speed of pain", "last day on earth", "coma white", "fundementally loathsome" etc..

but theres still the rest of the album so we'll see. i just fear manson is maybe at his best when he has a concept to work with, like the concept records of AS, MA, and HW.

I just put on GAOG for the first time in years and it's way better than I remember. The title track kicks ass!

yeah thats a fun song, i also dig new shit, spade, and vodevil. the guitar solo in para noir also kicks ass. the rest of the album ranges from bad to medioccre in my opinion.

tim skolds good....in shotgun messiah, i dunno if he gels with manson.

well in my opinion he didnt do a good job on Golden Age of Grotesque, theres barely any memorable basslines on that record.

but on this new album he plays guitar and bass, and the new single sounds great. so maybe he'll redeem himself with this new record.

Bass lines don't make an album great!!!

Unless u are FLEA of course.

Cool!

I know what Jarmo thinks about this matter, but it would be very cool to have a sub-section inside ''Appetite For Collection'' (or at least a sticky thread) where to put other bands downloads.

Thank you very much. How's the quality?

prolly a B+

Without Twiggy, it just isn't the same.

I'm sorry to argue such a trivial issue but I think you're vastly over-estimating Twiggy's contributions. He wasn't much of a bass player, let alone a musician. The guitarists of the band have always had much more influence on the sound and quality of Manson's albums. Twiggy's most impressive set of Manson credits came on Antichrist, which was clearly more Trent Reznor's shining hour than Twiggy's.




On topic; the song on myspace is pretty good. Sounds unfinished though. Is it a demo or what?

[von]

I thought it had a rough, demo sound to it, too. Anyway, I guess the video for Heart-Shaped Glasses just leaked not too long ago. Universal's been tearing it down. Anyone have it or seen it yet?

[zombux]

thx but what does this have to do with GNR? I'm a Manson fan but this is a GNR forum this one isn't even a proshot
