Yes, Marilyn Manson has sadly been absolute and complete trash when it comes to live performances in recent years - but he has always kept a certain standard on his albums.
The first half of this new album is awesome - although first song "
Red Black And Blue
" is kind of a skip for me. It's just more noise than substance. Next song, "
We Are Chaos
", is however excellent and probably the best song on the album. It enters the all-time Manson list of cool.
"
We are sick, fucked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured
"
Another kick ass track "
Don't Chase The Dead
" is up next. Very catchy and you get the feeling: this album is the shit!
"
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
No tomorrow
"
"
Paint You With My Love
" is a top class Manson ballad, and this album highlight is on a par with his best ballads. "
Half-way & One Step Forward
" is solid and keeps the album rocking slowly forward.
Is this album really a masterpiece, I wondered? Hmm... no, it isn't. Next track "
Infinite Darkness
" is 'not great but not terrible'. It contains wisdom like "
You're dead longer than you're alive
". "
Perfume
" is standard auto-pilot Manson with stomping lyrics like "
Get behind me, Satan
". We've kind of heard it before. "
Keep My Head Together
", well, more of that...
Then it gets interesting again with "
Solve Coagula
". A great song on this album.
"
I'm not special, I'm just broken
And I don't wanna be fixed
No one else I
No one else I
Wanna be like
So I stayed the same
Like nobody else
"
The album ends with a standard Manson ballad "
Broken Needle
". Not exactly his best ballad ever - but still a nice end to a very consistent album with a perfect 45 minutes runtime. Not enough time to get bored.
This new album is easily miles better than his last album "
Heaven Upside Down
" [2017] and possibly better than "
The Pale Emperor
" [2015] too. So the facts are, Emperor Manson is still doing fine on record. Long may he reign!
[2020], Loma Vista.
