Marilyn Manson started out as a depraved, marginally talented group of freaks that played a caustic but undeveloped brand of metallic industrial noise. Then Trent Reznor stepped into the studio for seven months with the band, and Manson emerged with the most intense, visceral, mechanical metal album since The Downward Spiral. Antichrist Superstar is a horror-house of grisly atrocities that stains as indelibly as a bathful of warm blood.
Brooding rhythms collide with corrosive samples and buzzsaw guitar riffs, while vocalist Marilyn croons irresistible melodies in the voice of a vagrant regurgitating broken light-bulb shards. Essential listening, regardless of how much input Reznor had. --Jon Wiederhorn
I love that this album of Marilyn Manson! I am a little suspect to say because I have 6 disks and I like them all, but still I must say how much I love this CD!
I recall Manson revealing strong suspicions that Trent Reznor lost the original master tapes for this landmark Marilyn Manson album, anyone able to shed further light on what became of them?.
