Specialists/collaborators reviews

Warthur
The album might the the Golden Age of Grotesque, but Marilyn Manson's golden age ended with the Holy Wood album. With the conceptual trilogy of Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holy Wood completed, Manson seems to have run out of ideas, resorting to the tired old "goth cabaret" idea as a means of staying relevant. It doesn't change the fact that this is another set of danceable pop-metal anthems which seem to lack the vigour and spirit that the ones on Holy Wood had.

Perhaps the issue is the complete lack of any musical growth evident. (If anything, the songs here are a degree more simplistic than the Holy Wood material.) Or perhaps it's just that this is the point where Manson's goofy philosophy really started doing a number on the lyrical themes. Whatever the reason, Golden Age is the first Manson album which is merely OK and rather forgettable - try humming something from it and if you're anything like me you'll either draw a blank or mistakenly hum something from Holy Wood instead.
