Cover art for Vodevil lyrics by Marilyn Manson

well i hardly think that this album deserved such a beating.you are failing to see the underlying tones of it. this is a new stage of marilyn mansons life...one that scares me quite frankly. this is not a sell out album these are marilyn mansons words and they show a bitter lonliness i have never before sensed in his music. he always kept us torn between weather to see him as a vulnerable, broken man (such as in tracks like man that you fear) or an 'antichrist superstar' but we all knew that the vulnerability was there. in this album, and tracks such as Slutgarden, he is covering it up. he is portrayign himself as nothign more than a heartless sex fiend which we all know is not entirely true. the hurt is still there, it comes up briefly in the track Spade ([Untranslated]) He just seems to be gettign better at hiding it. personally i loved this new album it has that "Fuck You" attitide about it that is awsome for driving or when you straight up feel like beign bitchy, and the music itself, aside from lyrics, are incredible as well. dont be so quick to judge it. theres always somethign more than what you hear.
