Guest residueofsociety Report post Posted March 22, 2003 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.

Guest Respect The 'Taker Report post Posted March 22, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Steviekick Report post Posted March 23, 2003 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 23, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted March 23, 2003 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.

Guest Respect The 'Taker Report post Posted March 23, 2003 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.

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted March 24, 2003 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.

Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted March 24, 2003 Portrait is still his best. Nothing can beat Cake & Sodomy, Get Your Gunn, or Snake Eyes for Sissies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted March 24, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
