Free Music Review: MUST THE SONG REMAIN THE SAME....
Hit: 5 Stars

..the answer is no because this is the most autobiographical and genuine set of lyrics and songs Marilyn Manson has delivered thus far in my opinion. Stepping right out of previous topics of politics and teenage rebellion to deliver a set of broken-hearted love songs, bitter suite odes undoubtedly inspired by the break down of his matrimonial relationship there is a lyrical genuineness that seemed missing in the last outing "The Golden Age". Shock has been replaced with candour and shovels of angst. It is a nice fresh twist and I loved this collection of songs quickly as a result. But it is not just the lyrical change that is refreshing; we have less industrial clatter and more song writing and craft. We have a blackened heart on a sleeve and I was interested to know if that heart beats loudly and genuinely or are you a media whore?

"If I Was Your Vampire" is broody and malignant, a vampire in the dark and sets the scene well. It has open spacing in its construction and is reflection of what one must face in the cold light of day. If you have woken in the middle of the early morning with a mind full of concern staring at the neon alarm clock numbers perhaps you can relate. After such a dose of angst we have the monster riff of `Putting Holes In Happiness" which bounces off Bonham-esque drums. I feel this might be an unwanted pregnancy tale, `blow out the candles on all my Frankenstein's, the photograph lasted longer than you?' Regardless it rolls up to a mammoth old school guitar solo. It is not industrial and it is perhaps the most straightforward song on offer and reeks of genuine emotion.

Tread the "Red Carpet" and this is surely a reference to all those pictures of Manson and his ex- in various premier locations. This is quite a sublime exploration of the Hollywood culture and the importance of pretence. All is well when all is not well. Again big drum sound tasty guitar bridge. Who plays this stuff is unknown but it is very cool yet not a distraction. The best comes next in the stripped and riffed "They Said That Hell's Not Hot" I love this song. You could strip this back to an unplugged situation and many would experience a revelation that Manson is a tour de force of pure pop writing genius. A hammond organ, a chorus that won't leave your head, and a classic guitar solo that makes this one almost traditional rock. Hell is as bad as the sin that puts you there; don't fool yourself otherwise, even if you are rocking in the free world?

"Just a Car Crash Away" sounds a little Hollywood stripped and bare. The pain of the last days of love, the emotion is so very real and raw. This is a simple song with the lyrical drawl of the bridge "love is a fire that burns down all that it sees". Lyrically trumped only by a superb guitar solo. Many reviewers before me have criticized the next track as the weakest link. Are you all mad?? "Heart Shaped Glasses" is built with an 80's stamp all over it. Is that a Duran Duran influence, `Union of the Snake' anyone or maybe "Blue Monday" from New Order. Great stuff and brings cross over appeal in the way "Tainted Love" did. "Evidence" leaves me a tad cold in the way the latter half of recent Manson outing have unfortunately but not enough to remove stars.

"Are You the Rabbit" is monolithic in the way those "Mechanical Animal" songs were. If this doesn't impress you don't have a pulse, or your cynicisms have too much control. This is the kind of song Manson built his career upon it fantastic. The riff hits you before the lyrical content makes a lot of sense. "Mutilation" is the most sincere warm song despite it message being a knife in the back of others stealing a bit of the magic, it Bowie and that makes the message ironic. The song is iconic. It admits for the first time Manson is looking over his shoulder.

"You and Me" has to be the second choice for best song. It is almost `Go To Hell' from Cooper and is atmospheric with its scratchy riff and descending keys. "Eat Me Drink Me" closes things proper in the way they were opened, a down keyed dirge to the realisation that things can end unhappily despite the early euphoria of being a moth in the flame.

Manson is the last true rock star and deserves support for a terrific and genuine non-industry focused release. Put prejudices aside, similar to when the "Anti Christ" became an "Mechanical Animal". No doubt FIVE STARS, vote how you feel but I will be listening to this in a year, two years, five years time even if you do not.

Eat Me Drink Me Poster

Four years since his last studio album, and following up on his highest charting radio single ever ("Personal Jesus", from Lest We Forget), Marilyn Manson returns with "Eat Me, Drink me". Art openings, soundtrack appearances, and personal circumstance have grabbed headlines for Manson in recent months, setting the stage for the release of Eat Me, Drink Me, which is unquestionably the artist's most personal statement yet. Always the provocateur, in what may be the ultimate subversion of the code of aggro-rock, the songs are immediately catchy - all jagged guitar hooks, anthemic choruses, with an overlying glam-rock sheen. Lyrically Manson has never been more riveting, seemingly having enough to draw from in his own life and from society at large to present a fresh, snarling vision.
