The Golden Age if the Grotesque

I wanted to know if any of you have had the first single off the next Manson record? It is called "mOBSCENE". It was recently leaked onto Kazaa, and I believe it should be hitting radio and MTV within the next 2 weeks. I personally thought it is a great tune, and it is very catchy as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this got a great deal of radio play. Besides, even if they played the song twice on the radio, that would be more airplay than Manson got his last record. I heard "Disposable Teens" on the radio once, and the DJ's ripped it apart for being "The Beautiful People Part II" and didn't play it again after that.

I won't be hearing the single until it is released so i can BUY IT like the good little consumer I am. However, Manson's first single off an album is always worthwhile and very catchy, so i don't see this being any different.

 

The whole album is a complete turn around from his other work apparently, heading in a different direction.

I'm sure the new one from Manson will be good. It's produced by Tim Skold of KMFDM. He could carry a broomstick to a five star album.

 

See...you can combine smarkism and music together :)

I just listened to it and I liked it.

 

I don't know if I'd say he's going in a totally new direction, but you could tell a difference between this and his last few albums.

Manson more or less goes in a different direction on every album. I mean he went from dark brooding industrial on AS to jazz inspired stuff on MA. I expect this to be no different. He's always guaranteed a good album.

Um...exactly what part of Mechanical Animals was jazz inspired?

 

And Anti-Christ Superstar,Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood were all joined together in some way as they were all apart of one huge story being told by Manson through music. If you understood the message in each, you'd see they ALL go in the same direction as one another, only experience different things along the way.

Jazz probably wasn't the right word, a bit of lounge feeling to a lot of it mixed in with a bit of industrial, glam, soul, etc. Lots of things going on there.

 

And I made no mention of the themes of the album, I simply meant from a pure sound standpoint. AS is a mostly industrial record, MA is just all over the place and HW (easily his best record imo) is a culmination of it all from sound standpoint. Everything he tried individually on say AS was melted together with what he tried on MA with some totally new things on HW and oh My God, I've gone cross eyed.

 

I enjoy over analyzing things.

Portrait is still his best.

 

Nothing can beat Cake & Sodomy, Get Your Gunn, or Snake Eyes for Sissies.

Thats my 3rd favorite. HW MA and then that. AS always bored me to tears, he was just trying way too hard on a lot of the songs.

Mechanical Animals just sucked so much cock. It turned me off from Manson.

i will always support him/them especially after meeting them a few times..nice down to earth guys who care about the music and the fans

 

also the band ive seen the most : 14

 

albums favs in order:

antichrist

holy wood

portrait is just too weak as far as music quality wise...they have come a long way since that..especially live the first time i saw them before portrait came out opening for Nine Inch Nails/Fem2Fem ..just dreadful live

 

i like Mechanical a lot..hey he wanted to do his Bowie thing and got it out of his system..there is some tracks on there that i dont care for though
