I bought this album about 5 years back and I still occasionally listen to it.
One thing: it’s not all bad words and loud music. It’s the concept which he tries to bring out which is really interesting. Him being the antichrist superstar. ;)
I don’t think any of his other albums have lived upto this one. Even the ones he released afterwards. Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) has co-written on lot of tracks on this album. Infact I think he produced the album a bit too.
I’m not gonna go on song by song and say this is good and that is great and rip off the album, but the song ’’The Beautiful People’’ landed up no 1 on the billboard charts in 96. And that’s tough for some band which is constantly hated and criticized.This album is marilyn manson at his finest.
Let the music do the talking.
