There's no question that Marilyn Manson's 1995 album Antichrist Superstar was a great-sounding record. It brooded, ripped, and clattered in all the right places, mixing industrial beats and samples with roaring heavy-metal riffs, echoing Goth keys, and the occasional tuneful pop vocal. But for all the sonic appeal, some of the songwriting wasn't too strong. No such problem on Manson's new record, Mechanical Animals, which forsakes some of the band's former grind in favor of dynamic glam rhythms and good old-fashioned melody. When the band tones down, as on the largely acoustic "Speed of Pain" and "Fundamentally Loathsome," Manson even sounds like a candidate for an Unplugged session. Most often, however, as on "Rock Is Dead," "User Friendly," and "The Dope Show," Mechanical Animals is a brash, decadent, and glittery display of self-indulgent hooks and melodramatic vocals that sounds like Aladdin Sane-era David Bowie and T. Rex at their most boisterous crossed with the more modern sounds of today's industrial nation. --Jon Wiederhorn

5 out of 5 stars Definately his masterpiece.......2007-05-26

This is Marilyn Mansons sole masterpiece. Their other albums are good, but this one takes the cake. It's sad that this album will never be topped by them.
The combination of John 5 and Jeordie White on this is brilliant. I don't even like Manson himself, I've always just loved the band, but I'll give him credit when its due. I highly recommend this album. My personal favorite is Disassociative. But The Speed of Pain is definately one of the most beautiful songs ever written and having gospel singers in it just makes it even better.

4 out of 5 stars A Cash In.......2007-04-26

This was a cash in on Antichrist Superstar, featuring the once gotic Manson in glam drag and vampire red hair. It went yo number one on the charts its first week of its 1998 release and was again racey for its time as they were now stuck in the 60s. A musically under rated album that has a number of classic tracks like White World, Dope Show and Coma White. Manson was no longer as controversial and had lasting impact on the late 90s and early 2000s popular music scene, as the white trashes just didn't get the joke as they didn't grow up with heavy metal music. The music itself is a mix of glam rock a la Ziggy Stardust and industrial, as Manson no longer cared for his masculinity any more, becsause he was a bona fide celebrity and millionaire.

1 out of 5 stars Another one bites the dust........2007-04-08

I was a pre-antichrist Manson fan. Marilyn Manson was not only an inspiration to me, and a representation of what I myself stood for and believed, even as a preadolescent child, but he was a saviour. I looked to him as the answer to life's most fundamental questions. When I saw the video for the dopeshow in 1998 I became nauseous. I suppose one could hurl invectives at me such as that I had or have no "life", or that I am a fool for believing so in another human being, but one must remember that we are all looking for answers, and when you think you find one, and then it's comfort is violently ripped away from you, it's bound to make you pretty sad. It makes me sad. I believe in the transforming powers of the arts. Marilyn Manson was a great human triumph up until Mechanical Animals, it was a big disappointment. This album gets one star for crushing my childhood dreams.

1 out of 5 stars The worm that never flew.......2007-04-07

I can still remember the feeling of confusion upon purchasing this album in '98. I was your typical Manson fanatic. I tuned in at Smells like Children, backtracked to Portrat, and then was completely blown away by Antichrist. Manson instantly rose to the level of my personal hero and guru. Antichrist Superstar, is, without a doubt, one of the finest albums I have ever experienced, and still is. I thought of Manson as an powerful demigod. Hell, I probably would have killed my parents if he asked me to.

And then this,... this... travesty. The shock, the horror. In september of '98, Marilyn Manson threw away all his power to pay homage to Glam Rock of all abominations. To expose the shallowness of Hollywood.... um, hello? What happened to the evolution of the Antichrist? What about all that Antichrist left unfinished? Your minions were waiting to hear your orders... and you failed them. CAREER SUICIDE FOLKS! End of the show, curtains up. I woke up in a daze, not really knowing where I was or what to think. My world collapsed. Manson had that kind of hold over me.

Perhaps it was trent's production skills on Antichrist that really made Manson who he was. It certainly seems that way, as Mansons last 3 efforts have been progressively more pathetic. I think of Manson's discography like the movie Star Wars. The first three are amazing, the last three are absolutely horrible. You may need special eyes and ears to understand why that may be the case.

To anyone that was around when Antichrist hit the shelves and changed the world, to those that were tuned in, and, who tuned out as soon as they heard Dope Show, I say, fear not. Life goes on. Someone else will pick up where manson left off 8 years ago. Where is the sincerity in this record? Its nothing but shallow material and self serving nonsense. What happened to the man ready to sacrifice himself to the cause of exposing religion, of embracing his own depravity and evil? What happened to my childhood hero?

This cd gets one star for the unparalleled power Manson gave up to realize his menial, small-minded glamrock concept. May he rot forever.

4 out of 5 stars Mechanical Animals.......2004-12-29

Marilyn Mansons 4th album and for it he chose a new direction... techno/goth. A totally different style but not one he couldnt handle. The songs sound either really depressing and slow or really fast and technoish. My favs on here are Great Big White World, Dope Show, Rock Is Dead, I dont like the Drugs but the drugs like me, New Model, and Coma White. Great Big White World is a great opener for Mechanical Animals becuase it shows the new style he has chosen for the album. It is a slow song but none the less fun to listen to. Dope Show steps it up into a somewhat heavier song than Great Big White World. This is where he decided to do the infamous boob suit (yes it was a suit, not implants) for the music video. Rock Is Dead comes out of nowhere and knocks you on your ass. It is definitly one of the main reasons for buying this cd. It mixes techno with rock and I think thats how he gets the name (original rock is dead because so many people are changing it and now there is a new wave). I dont like the drugs takes you back to the style of Great Big White World and Dope Show only it has a new twist... gospel. Yes at the end of the song he has some random gospel singers do background vocals for him and it is pretty entertaining. Im not 100% sure but I think this was the second video MTV actually played on their station with Beautiful People being the first. New Model is another techno dance song that is kind of catchy but also suggestive. There are some weird lyrics (thatd youd expect from Manson) in the song for instance: Im the new im the new new model/ i got nothin inside/ better in the head and in bed at the office/ i can suck it and smile/...anyway it is still a fun song. Coma White is a great ending because its slow and it has a good message. Its kind of like Great Big White World only with a more serious and majestic feel to it.
Individual Ratings...
1.Great Big White World 10/10
2.Dope Show 10/10
3.Mechanical Animals 3/10
4.Rock Is Dead 11/10 (best song on album)
5.Dissasociative 4/10
6.Speed of Pain 1/10
7.Posthuman 9/10
8.I Wanna Dissapear 9/10
9.I Dont Like the Drugs But the Drugs Like Me 10/10

11.User Friendly 9/10
12.Fundementally Loathsome 1/10
13.Last Day On Earth 3/10
14.Coma White 10/10
Overall it definitly stands out in Mansons music because of the different style. If you love Manson or techno dance stuff for the matter then definitly pick up Mechanical Animals. (5th best out of 6 Manson Albums)

4 out of 5 stars Uh, yeah..........2002-08-03

This album kinda had me worried when I borrowed it off a friend to have a listen before i bought it. There was a strange mix of bowie-style sounds, hard rock, and some old-fashioned depressing tunes. I gotta say, i didn't like what i heard. However, being a Manson fan, i still bought the album anyway. Now, a almost a year on, it remains one of my favourite albums of all time.

If you're new to Marilyn Manson, a tatster of his music, this album IS NOT for you. get Antichrist Superstar, or, even better, Holywood [*****]. But, if you like Bowie, if you're a Manson fan, or if you're a fan of strange music, get it now.

1 out of 5 stars What the hell?.......2001-09-02

This is Manson's worst CD to date. From 1992-1998 he was my god, but this CD was so bad I ended up destroying it. Manson's new CD, Holywood is awesome. Whatever you do don't buy Mechanical Animals it's just bad with one good song, I Don't Like Drugs.

5 out of 5 stars Best cd.......2001-07-23

In my opion, This is one of the best cds I have ever had. There is a something for everyone in this. There are tecno, hard rock, and some depressing songs that make you think about life. I would encourge anyone thinking about buying anything by Marilyn Manson, to get this cd.

      This is actually the German Tour edition which has a hand drawn cover and contains a mini comic of the video for I Don't Like The Drugs... It's interesting if you're a Manson collector like myself but otherwise it's the exact same as the domestic versions.

      5 out of 5 stars Extremely cool.......2000-09-08

      This is probably Mr.Manson's best piece of work to date. On this album he explores new music territory and he steps forward in the evolution of his music. This album brings to you a new story that is diffrent from Antichrist Superstar tells you. Every single track in this album adds a special element like "Great Big White World" which introduced you into the album which is followed by "Dope Show" a melodic song which is kind of satirical. Other song like "Rock is dead" and "Posthuman" bring you speedy industrial crunchy songs which adds alot to the album and contrasts since the album is more melodic than the last album with soft ballads like "dissasociative" and "the Last day on Earth". After listening to "The last Day on Earth" you go into the Closing track "Coma White" which is a beautifully done and to me one of the best songs ever. After listening to this album your going to want to listen to it over and over again so why wait and order it now here in Amazon.com
