Don't worry! I didn't mean to change anyone's tastes; I just wanted to clarify a few things given the tone of the posts left, which I think were a bit superficial, but anyway it wasn't your case. Bye! ;-))

I don’t like, for example, either "Mechanical Animals" (too Glamour) or "The Golden Age of Grotesque" (which, compared to Holy Wood, doesn’t say anything new; in fact, it probably suffers from the significant absence of White). Now, I can understand that some "purists" may not like the type of music proposed by the Reverend, but the problem is that many of them, when questioned, show no real understanding of what they’re talking about and simply reiterate worn-out and superficial opinions that they’ve read everywhere. Let’s add that many don’t even consider music written after '75, and the accounts add up... and this bothers me a bit. Then again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion; however, I prefer those who speak from experience to those who do so based on hearsay. I hope I’ve clarified things. Bye!

But in my opinion, the masterpiece is "Holy Wood," which is an album that showcases a truly mature band with capable session musicians (in the industrial scene, Geordie White is highly appreciated), and it brings together a certain dark vibe with decidedly industrial sounds while not shying away from a certain nod to more mainstream environments. The result is an album that is indeed hard-hitting, but it gets into your head quite pleasantly.

In fact, if we take "Antichrist Superstar," we are faced with an excellent example of Industrial Rock (more in line with N.I.N., with Reznor as producer, than with Ministry, to be clear) and, moreover, it is played very well with truly perfect production. The first one, "Portrait of an American Family," is an album that leans towards street rock, although with very hard sounds, and it is genuinely enjoyable to listen to.

Dear Chatnoir, I’ll skip the psycho-popular reasons that lead me to appreciate Manson because the good Galakordi expresses them thoroughly and I practically agree with everything. If we want to talk about music, as I’ve already said, in my opinion Marilyn has been more harmed than helped by his image because, on one hand, he attracted thousands of kids searching for easy thrills, while on the other hand, he elicited the dislike of a much more important audience—namely, all those who view certain commercial operations with a certain disdain and focus solely on the music. Unfortunately, many have stopped at this consideration and have not delved deeper into the musical discourse, which, in my opinion, is quite valid.

A lengthy review, but it's a pleasure to read and, above all, it's shareable (even if I don't agree with you about The Lamb). The album speaks for itself.

I liked the first album; I still have to listen to this one. Of course, your review tears it apart quite a bit... (well written, though!). I'll let you know.
