Hopefully they'll take back everything after Mechanical Animals (everything before this point was great) and just leave us.

His sound has changed a little with each album. I think Portrait was excellent and found that Golden was getting back to a sound more like the original MM.

Changing sound is a good thing in most cases (not Metallica's St. Anger.) It is what keeps the music fresh and interesting. Although mOBSCENE was a terrible song.

Not my kind of music. The only song I enjoy listening to is Beautiful People. Of course that is the only song that gets any air time around here.

How could you not feel like a complete idiot posting this topic? I mean just look at it. Everything is wrong about it. The topic doesn't make sense and is confusing. Your subtopic is MM. What the heck?

Here is the way I always viewed it:

PoaAF - (AKA - the rock album) Great album - awesome guitar work and mostly written by Daisy Berkowitz. I view this album as a straight forward rock album

Anti-Christ Superstar - (AKA - the angry album) GREAT ALBUM! This is when they started the MM trend of - have a guitarist write an album for you, then kick him out and get another to tour and write the next one. After they kicked Daisy out here (after recording his tracks and writing most of it) - they did a GREAT job over overlaying the other sounds that really made this album. It is at this point that MM tricked people into thinking he was a good musician - he is a great philosopher/lyricist - but not so hot writing music.

Mechanical Animals - (AKA - the 'i'm sorry, i have some regret from all my anger' album) - This was one that really found the balance of musicianship, lyrics, and showing off. The guitar work on this one is far inferior than that of the two albums and is mostly hidden behind sustaining distortion, but it still comes out well. This is the last good album MM released.

Golden Age of Grotesque - (AKA - the 'I'm MM and everything I touch is golden' album) - Here is MM showed us that he can truly steal from others and try to pass it off as his own. Mobscene was a rip off of Faith No More's "Be Aggressive." Manson put more of his own work on this album than that of his band of cohorts. It shows and the album truly suffers because he almost tried to make it as a solo album. It was this album that he compared himself to the beatles saying that this would be the next 'White Album' - yeah right.

I haven't listened to anything past this due to the decline that it seemed like he was going down. Daisy Berkowitz's guitar, Twiggy Ramirez's guitar/bass, and JW Gacy's synths/sounds are what made MM. Had he stayed true to those things and grew with them instead of trying to overtake everything - I know that more albums like the first 3 would have followed.

IMHO
