Is this the best Marilyn Manson album?
who knows reallynot me
Yes, without a doubt. The problem with MM's other material is that it sounds so cheesy and shallow compared to actual industrial rock, it just sounds like alt rock with silly industrial-lite sounds on top, and goofy, croaking vocals. Mechanical Animals is great because it doesn't bother failing at industrial rock, and goes in a dark glam direction, which they were great at. Beautiful melodies, good lyrics, and basically contemporaneous with a band like Placebo. IMO the focus on melody made it the best thing MM ever did.
>>130714699Antichrist SuperstarMA's a different genre I don't like as much
>>130714699>bro who let Mleep Mlop put on a wig?Manson looks like a fucking gray here man.
>>130714699Portrait, Antichrist, or Mechanical Animals could each be considered his best album, they are all very different and it really depends on what you are into. Each one was a classic in it's own way. After that his act got a bit stale, I mean some of it was decent enough but none of the albums really stand out to me.
>>130714699Antichrist is his only great album.
>>130714699Antichrist is objectively better, Holly Wood i think is better. I kinda don't like most of this album...

>>130714737100% agree. The stuff with their first guitarist was more often than not pretty good too, they were at least self-consciously cartoonish before getting too close to Reznor and becoming self-serious while sounding too of-the-moment. The Bowie emulation is obvious and admittedly derivative, but he and the band nail it.
I like Holy Wood the most.
The Golden Age of Grotesque is the album I have the most songs added to my playlists so I guess that's the best one.I haven't been an album listener for years tho.
>>130714737it's the only one i ever bought, even though i didn't like the band initially.>>130714741never got the fuss with this one. it's garbage aside from that one little song with mellotron and vocoder
