Free Music Notes for Mechanical Animals
Free Music Review: Ya know
Hit: 5 Stars
Obviously, people who reject this album, because they think Manson is a sicko, did NOT listen to this album without bias. I played this album in the car once, and a friend of mine, who listens to a lot of 70s rock (which is cool) said, "Who is this, this is really good!" I replied, "Um, Marilyn Manson hehe." His jaw dropped. I was playing GREAT BIG WHITE WORLD. So to the reviewer that believes REAL rock is Zep and Hendrix, take that. They were awesome, and the fathers of modern rock, but don't you think the world would be pretty boring if all rock was obligated to sound derivative of the 70s? That's what makes music go great, the way musicians interpret the 12 notes of its alphabet.
Mind you, this may not be the album that a Manson beginner should pick up. It's very different in comparison to his other albums, but I do think this may be where the band was at the top of its game. The influences here are obvious, but just because the music's not overtly original, doesn't mean its not good!
Great Big White World- To me, an amazing opener to an album. The electronic atmosphere and the chorus gives me chills, and Twiggy's & Zim Zum's (recorded but soon left) guitar work in recording this album is phenomenal. (John 5 was just the touring guitarist on this album). A song about alienation from society and no love being in the world. I can relate.
Dope Show-Haha, I remember the video when I was 13. This song is very "Hollywood". People love you when you're up, people drag you down farther when you're already down as far as you can go. Interesting electronics in this song.
Mechanical Animals- Mmmm, some people don't like this song for some reason. I'm not sure what it's about: maybe the boy that committed suicide listening to Anti-Spstar. The programmed beat are very nice hear. The acoustic guitar is nice as well, a drastic change in atmosphere to the song.
Rock Is Dead- I used to not care for this song much, but I appreciate it more now. Mainly about, the indulgents in being a rock star taking over.
Disassociative- Gotta get away from the world before it takes me down. Great song, very Bowie-esque.
Speed Of Pain- Mainly acoustic, Pink Floydish. There's not much I can say about this song, I don't quite understand it yet.
Posthuman- This is where the industrial/rock is most apparent. A song that seems to indulge in a woman, comparing her to ranadom drugs and Jackie O! Definitely part of the concept involving Rose McGowan. Check out the rapid fire beats in this one, very electronic.
I Wanna Disappear- Manson saying that he used to be a "nihilist" and "brutal" but now he's just making a mockery of himself. Arena rockish riffing in the chorus.
Don't Like The Drugs.....-Wow. This is one of the most "old R&B-esque" songs I ever heard from a rock group. Dave Navarro helped out with lead guitar on this track. Greeeeat song about who society is sucked in by the media and television. Drugs are thought of metaphorically in this one: as sex, tv, literal drugs, religion. This song is very much in line with "Rock Is Dead" with the idea that America's god is in these so-called "drugs". "God is in the teee-veeeeee".
New Model No.15- Mockery in that Manson got 15 minutes of fame. Very Gary Numan like, very good song.
User Friendly- About a female entity that only wants Manson for sex. Musically, this song doesn't offer a whole lot. The vocals are the stronger point here.
Fundamentally Loathsome-Whaa??? This song is probably the weirdest Manson song ever, weird only for Manson that is....you just have to listen.
Last Day On Earth- As the world end, Manson will continue to find love with who he's with. Musically, on the same level as User Friendly.
Coma White- Wow. Great guitar work, just emotional. This proves that music doesn't not have to be technically elaborate to be beautiful. Manson's best vocal performance ever, hands down. It's so true, nothing will make you happy in the world, you have to find it within yourself. As the synths and feedback drift off into the atmosphere, the album ends on a mysterious note.
In my opinion, this is arguably one of the most creative albums on the late 90s. Of course it does sound a little derivative, but the effort alone deserves much respect. Great piece of art, a lot went into it. 5 stars indeed.
