Before that (and holywood) the guy was gearing to be a legend but this could pass as an alternative/soft rock album compared to Portrait or Antichrist.

'eat me drink me' is actually far better than alot of this, and mechanical animals and holywood are some of the most intelligent musical works of the last decade. he seems to have just lost it. ok, so its not awful, and even on this album hes still quite clever-the oasis parody 'into the fire' does work for example, and most of this should sound great turned up to the max and live, but if you just dont 'get' the humor, it could well be the worst thing youve ever heard. lol. more quality control, brian, if you really plan on being around for another ten years! it might not hurt to even stay off the drugs and (possibly the core of the problem) stop using people and being so selfish ;) he got a 1/5 review for this album in Kerrang, a uk magazine which normally drools over him, so hopefully this will be a kick in the chops to stop being lazy and make a decent album. what happened to the 'mechanical animals' manson from 1998, where almost every track could easily have been a single? quality control please, next time! so true- i think he needs to waken up and try alot harder. ‘eat me drink me’ is actually far better than alot of this, and mechanical animals and holywood are some of the most intelligent musical works of the last decade. he seems to have just lost it. ok, so its not awful, and even on this album hes still quite clever-the oasis parody ‘into the fire’ does work for example, and most of this should sound great turned up to the max and live, but if you just dont ‘get’ the humor, it could well be the worst thing youve ever heard. lol. more quality control, brian, if you really plan on being around for another ten years! it might not hurt to even stay off the drugs and (possibly the core of the problem) stop using people and being so selfish ;) he got a 1/5 review for this album in Kerrang, a uk magazine which normally drools over him, so hopefully this will be a kick in the chops to stop being lazy and make a decent album. what happened to the ‘mechanical animals’ manson from 1998, where almost every track could easily have been a single? quality control please, next time!

Reznor has spoken out against his former protégé Marilyn Manson, calling him "a dopey clown" in a new interview with Mojo. Reznor: "He is a malicious guy and will step on anybody’s face to succeed and cross any line of decency. Seeing him now, drugs and alcohol now rule his life and he’s become a dopey clown." The love between both musicians began to deteriorate during NIN's "The Downward Spiral" tour in 1994 says Trent: "During the Spiral tour we propped them up to get our audience turned on to them and at that time a lot of the people in my circle were pretty far down the road as alcoholics. Not Manson. His drive for success and self-preservation was so high, he pretended to be fucked up a lot when he wasn’t." And he adds: "Things got shitty between us and I'm not blameless. The majority of it though was coming from a resentment guy who finally got out from under the master's umbrella and was able to stab him in the back." And the Nine Inch Nails frontman concludes: "He used to be the smartest guy in the room. And as a fan of his talents, I hope he gets his shit together". "The High End of Low" is the seventh studio album by Marilyn Manson. It was recorded in the Hollywood Hills throughout 2008. Sean Beavan, who mixed "Antichrist Superstar", "Mechanical Animals", and "Eat Me, Drink Me", is co-producer of the album. The album was released on May 26th, 2009. The album's first radio single "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" was released on May 14, 2009. trent on manson in the new mojo
