Is Mechanical Animals a good album?
>>129471452it's his magnum opus. that being said, it's basically a play-by-play retelling of ziggy stardust. that being said, the BEST ziggy stardust ripoff album is Smashing Pumkins' Machina. Same plot.
such a retarded thread and first reply that I hope it's a samefag
It is the single greatest album ever made
>>129471557>alien rockstar that ends up on earth>earth is dying/going to be destroyed>tries to warn the humans>humans ignorethat's literally the plot of ziggy stardust you fucking retard.
>>129471502i can never decide between this and antichrist superstar honestly, both are extremely formative albums for me
>>129471452All things considered, yeah.It's always terrible news when a band/artist abandons their original sound that build their fanbase in the first place to go and do something experimental, and with the case of metal/rock/punk bands it's usually a double funeral since they also abandon their angry heavy sound.But with this, it's an excellent detour into funk and jazz inspired hard rock. His next albums after that kind of stagnated until his blues-inspired rebirth with The Pale Emperor
>>129471452Yes and no. It does it’s one thing good, but as an artistic work, Antichrist is better because Reznor was there to produce it. Portrait has better songs, Holy Wood has the best production.
is there a modern equivalent of marilyn manson? like an edgelord musician who's popular with teens but repulses adults
>>129473572No, Rock is Dead like Manson said.
>>129471502Machina 2 is actually peak Pumpkins
>>129473833machina 2 = pros/cons of hitchhikingmachina = the wall

>>129471605ACSS is hands down one of the best industrial metal albums out there. like top 10
for me its I don't like the drugs (but the drugs like me) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EefPcht54c
>>12947145210/10 for the solo in Fundamentally Loathsome
Anyone should listen to it at least once. The production is absolutely out of this world.
>>129476500Michael Beinhorn is the man
>>129471452Think about it this way,when A guy like Brian Warner wants to look coolBest believe he will be ripping someone off (Bowie)even his name is a rip off
>>129471452I like some of his music but overall this guy got too smug and didn't deliver interesting enough esoteric shit, you telling me you running around with anton levay and you just became a fat alcoholic who got mee tood? lame man seems like you were a phony and couldn't actually control your life like you claimed
coma white the last day on earth great big white world all killer songs. the rest is fine.
>>129477734Too many ho hos and snack cakes for mister Brian Warner
>>129477750hey guys my name is a reference to other people and my musical image is a rip off of someone else persona and i got fat and lazy and i groomed some crazy girl am i still cool? it's cool i wear makeup right? that's cool!
>>129471502Pucker up Baby I like to rip off Bowie and I like to be sketchy sexually
>>129473572I think it's Arca>>129471452I think its middle of the road. It's nice metaphorically if you believe the whole "Antichrist superstar is about destroying himself to stop himself from becoming commodified" and then releasing a not industrial album, which is kind of self destructive narrative
>>129477750>>129477761the berry pop tartsthe berry pop tarts AAAAAHHHHHH
>>129471452It's great when you're 14, just fine and maybe a little cringy after that.
