Thank you for this very in-depth review and recap on Manson. I’m glad to see that he did something after his mishap in Toronto Ontario sound academy. In truth some nights all musicians to get a bad sound engineer but it also works the other way around and the way the sound engineer was treated was absolutely horrible. The thing is, when I hear him speaking in interviews he actually seems quite intelligent and he’s somebody that I could actually sit down and have a beer with but I guess we all go a little mad sometimes.

My pleasure, glad you liked it! He has certainly had his share of on stage melt downs (perhaps even more than his share) But in his quieter and more collected moments he really does come off well. It would be great if he would more consciously reinvent himself as a purely artistic entity rather than trying to do a ham-fisted goth metal routine.

I love early Manson albums. But haven’t really enjoyed much of his later releases. Thanks for the review!

My pleasure. The later releases certainly have their high points but nothing as epic as the grandeur of his earlier material.

Portrait of an American family, anti christ superstar, mechanical animals, holy wood we’re all gold everything after that started sliding down hill in my opinion

I am worried. I do expect it's not Manson's downfall. There's no other artist like him nowadays.
Great review. Love it.
