First song "Exit Wound" is already out
in the year 2026 do we all still know a guy who continues listening to this turd as if he is not only relevant but some sort of genre defining life changing innovative artist?
this dude has been insanely washed up for almost 30 years now, I cant imagine who will care about this
>>130603061Should've died/retired in 1997 or 2003 tbhwy
Wtf does he talk about in his songs
>>130603113He is both of those things though. I don't even like him but it's true.
>>130603113>>130603127>>130603140>>130603196Brad Taste in Music-tier take. Fuck off hipsters. Manson mogs Swans and Daughters.
>>130603061I listened to the last one bc I have nostalgic memories attached to Antichrist/Portrait/HolyWood. As Sick as the Secrets Within was actually decent bc for the first time since 2001 he uses (mostly) his real voice and not 40 different software correctors. Rest was middle school-tier trash.The rule with MM is he's only as good as his band. He's not a musician, he's at best a performance artist. Unfortunately he has the maturity of a 15 year old and the "art" shows it - every single album since HolyWood has been inspired by an actress/model. And its all been complete fucking TRASH. He needs to do something new or just die. If he was smart he'd focus on the social takes and working with decent musicians, not flame-warring with washed up Hollywood whores.
>>130603234he hasn't been relevant for two whole decades
>>130603234genre defining and life changing? for the over 40 crowd that has no offspring hasn't touched a womans vagina since Bush was president drinks gay calorie free beer alone and wakes up with a piss filled couch which doubles as your bed and a mental state stuck in early summer 2001 then sure.
these fucking uncs crashout when theres a Livvy thread but then make Marilyn MAnson threads in fucking 2026 and wonder why the board is dead
>>130603386funny post but manson is still an artist
how many times is this old faggot going to say the same shit over and over again? this shit is a like a mad libs of ten other songs he made 30 years ago
>>130603537forgot the pic like a fucking retard
>>130603551well at least he's going in a more positive direction this time. the world needs it.
>>130603245I'm curious... do you think any rock musician is relevant today?
I used to be the biggest mansonposter on this board from 2006-2010, and even I hate him now. Dude's washed up and clearly trained AI on some of the raw takes from Holy Wood & Mechanical Animals, then used software to interpolate between his past & present voices.You have to remember that with all pop stars, you're being sold aesthetics and a narrative. Manson himself is not really -good- at anything and has had other people carrying him for his entire career.
>>130603793>Manson himself is not really -good- at anything and has had other people carrying him for his entire career.So he's just average? A grade C for casual? Meh could be worse I guess I give it an ad block/10.
>>130603793He hasn't used ai.. he sounds like this now. You can tell if you watch the new videos. I also saw him live in the UK. He's the best he has been in well over 20 years now. The drink and drugs have stopped and his voice has lightened up. He might have had some vocal training too.
MM peaked at Mechanical Animals, which was written by Billy Corgan
>>130604367First part of this is true
The Album and all the song titles are coming off a little strong
>>130603061He's been doing the exact same thing for 30 years.
>>130603305I feel personally attacked. That's literally me.
>>130604367get off /mu/ Billy
>>130603061The song feels like a mid tier song from One Assassination Under God. I really just want him to yell a bunch and be angry but i guess that's hard when you're like 50. The ending was cool>>130603127The last album was good
>>130603061Gay retard music
>>130603127That one album from the 2010s is good. The white one.
Music for the evil Timmie's
The best Manson song that no one listens to is the Kiddie Grinder Remix off the Rock n Roll Nigger album
>>130603061>unalive >UNALIVEJesus fucking christ
I always read this: this singer/band haven't been relevant since many years agoBut if you think about it, isn't that what happens to all the singers and bands? They have a period of time where they are very popular and then they stop being at the top of popularity, after that they keep making music and remembering their best hits.
>>130607894Artists have an arc and the more talented or contemporaneous they are the wider it becomes, unless your Manson then its like some weird kind of camel with two humpsdesu i feel like its more of a job for Manson, he seems to be pretty consistent with albums and they're reasonably similar in terms of length, tracks and format but idk i'm just thinking aloud
>>130603386Hope she sees this bhai.
>>130603061I'm going to listen to it. And that's what no one did.
>>130603061I haven't kept up with MM in years. Last I heard he was on trial or some shit, and last I heard of him in music is him making shitty collab with shitting in his pampers guy whose life is also like a video game who dedicated that entire song to a literally tranny from Canda that I only know of because Ye once brought her to open for PornHub awards once kekAnyway, what did I miss?
>>130604367Mechanical Animals was literally the beginning of the end. HolyWood was a good outlier, but the raw feminine nature of MA then everything GAOG forward destroyed this untalented faggot Btw I just listened to the new single and its not that bad. Sounds like a much gayer and cleaner Antichrist Superstar outtake - crazy it took him 30 fucking years to realize the sound that made him famous is what hes best at. He does the Reflecting God shit where he screech chants the ending
So like...did he do it??
>>130603305Holy projection
>>130610014So you are saying Manson have had two peaks? What are those peaks in terms of years?
https://youtu.be/yjWtkQSF8dA?si=IR8a3bEQNHlxNRp0The new music video sucks ass
>>130603773Not particularly, rock's day in the sun is long past, but even if there are relevant rock musicians in 2026 Manson is not one of them
>>130603773The last rock singer/group I remember been mainstream is Muse.
>>130612016i don't have any money for gay calorie free beer.
>>130603061For one, the title is corny-clever.For another, "Unalive", "All The Vilest Things", and "Exit Wound" are decent track names, on-the-nose though they may be.I don't get the album art.
>>130603242>As Sick as the Secrets Within was actually decent bc for the first time since 2001 he uses (mostly) his real voice and not 40 different software correctors.>https://youtube.com/watch?v=K7X088dkMYMYou got my hopes up when in reality it's the same old edited shit it's always been. If it's not raw and unprocessed then it's nothing.Also, his "singing" is lazy and unpleasant. Slow as fuck and amelodic.
>>130603537>>130603551Marilyn Manson is just not a good writer. You can very clearly tell when someone has literary talent, because they will utilize mature themes, sophisticated diction, and intricate and consistent rhyme schemes, among other literary devices, whereas the best he can do is exemplified here by just one of many capabilities you'd expect someone with talent to have, here of the semi-homophone "altered boys" instead of "altar boys".So we have:>Brian can't write>Brian can't sing>Brian can't compose>Brian can't philosophizeLeaving nothing but the pure aesthetic of ghastly shock value.
>>130613244Hi Trent
>>130612103It started off promising enough then not unquickly degenerated into an unfocused mess of uncompelling seeming randomness.
>>130613261I can't name one Nine Inch Nails track I've ever heard in my life.
>>130611439Marilyn Manson wasn't made famous by his sound, he was made famous by his society and style as an antithesis to Christian fundamentalist America many youth were sick of existing under.
>>130607654>https://youtube.com/watch?v=LFcShBkCtFEThis track in facts just highlights what makes Marilyn Manson's music generally awful.*This* in fact is the single best MM track I've heard, and it's probably so because Brian didn't create it:https://youtube.com/watch?v=SPqa2faffgUIf most of his music was like this, I might have actually liked it.
MM was always edgy Radiohead. Not shit It sounds bad.
>>130603242> He's not a musician, he's at best a performance artist. Unfortunately he has the maturity of a 15 year old and the "art" shows it - every single album since HolyWood has been inspired by an actress/model.Sh'yeah... a lot of musicians are complete fucking idiots though. Just stupid as hell, as a general rule. They got into it because they wanted to get laid. I came across this German guy who does vampire disco and some interviewer was asking him what kind of vampire literature inspired him and he was, like, I really liked Queen of the Damned, like that movie from 2002 with the nu-metal soundtrack. I was like yeah that sounds about right lolhttps://youtu.be/ZqkWYiTKNKY>>130611439>Sounds like a much gayer and cleaner Antichrist Superstar outtake - crazy it took him 30 fucking years to realize the sound that made him famous is what hes best at. Very early on (when he was very young) their Spooky Kids style was very glam and psychedelic. He just wants to be Ziggy Stardust really. >>130613700>MM was always edgy Radiohead. Not shit It sounds bad.Or like Muse, or something like that if you see through the H.R. Giger stuff his style is painted with.
>>130614006It's one of the greatest cinematic OST's of all-time.
Another problem with artists that have been releasing music for decades is that each time they release music people compare it to their peak and that will always have the same result: nah it's not as good as their peak.Let's say Marilyn Manson was a new artist that you are listening for the first time. Is it that bad for popular industrial metal?
Hi Brian!
>>130603793Listening to Marilyn Manson after Holy Wood is like a joke. He makes what? Only one good song every album filled with 13 tracks? He also comes across like such a fucking loser to still be doing all this late in life
>>130615515He’s reaching 60Let’s see him wearing makeup and sing in a wheelchair while he’s baldingFucking retardHe just used outrage against the church to build hype But his music is so weakOne good song every album that’s it he might as well only release singles as this point
>>130615531His first 4 albums like until Holy Wood its solid but he should have retired like jeez man your discography is so bloated just like him in the 2010s
Also when you keep making the same type of music with the same aesthetic for decades it's normal that people get bored of it because it looks more of the same. That's the reason artists try to change their sound a little sometimes. I haven't listened to Marilyn Manson's entire discography but all that I have listened has the same sound. Has he tried to change his sound before?
>>130603061It's the same shit over and over and over again.
>>130615515>He also comes across like such a fucking loser to still be doing all this late in lifeIf he can still sing and is healthy enough to tour. Why not keep making music if that is what he likes to do? He is not the first one to keep singing until he is very old. Look at The Rolling Stones for example.
>>130615567>>130615644There's nothing wrong with a winning formula. Brian's problem is his formula was never winning. He never "evolved", not in the sense of change for change's sake, but in actually getting objectively better.
>>130603061If One Assassination Under God released in the 90s-early 2000s, it would've been one album and not split into two albums. Manson's early albums were long as fuck.
Did he put a caricature of Jhin on the coverHow unoriginal
>>130615531>Let’s see him wearing makeup and sing in a wheelchair while he’s baldingOzzy did it. I've only listened to one of Manson's new songs though.I've made this argument before but the gothic can actually work for aging musicans. You've got one foot in the grave anyways, and wistful nostalgia towards the past is bound up in gothic, aesthetically. Mylene Farmer for example but maybe it's easier for her because she's French idkhttps://youtu.be/GIi_bpTdkTA
>>130617168>the gothic can actually work for aging musicansRobert Smith is another example of that.
>>130615423The last album was fine. Sick as the Secrets and Nod if you Understand were legitimately good tracks. But this new single sucks.>Is it that bad for popular industrial metal?No but that's a horrible genre generally speaking.
