It's a pleasure to write the first review on MMA of this masterpiece. Unfortunately i haven't seen much Marilyn Manson fans on the forum.. Maybe they will come.

My first touch with the music of Marilyn Manson was the cover of the well known Eurythmics song called 'Sweat Dreams'. When I was looking for some more music of Marilyn Manson I found the title track of the album called 'Antichrist Superstar' on youtube. It did completely blow me away! So I bought the album at the local music store.

The tracks 'Antichrist Superstar', 'Little Horn', 'Mister Superstar' and 'Angel with the Scabbed Wings' are really great metal songs. 'Tourniquet' has some gothic/emo metal influences. 'Kinderfeld' and 'Minute of Decay' are the more easy to listen and a little bit spacey songs. Then we have the industrial metal influences in tracks such as 'Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World', 'Cryptorchid', 'Deformography', 'Wormboy'. Also the lyrics on the album are really intelligent. Only the last two songs 'Man that you fear' and 'Empty Sounds of Hate' are just a waste of time imo. Especially 'Empty Sounds of Hate'. It gives me a little bit the idea that it is published on the album for filling it up.

But over all, it is really great rocking masterpiece and in my opinion the best record of Marilyn Manson.

Yeah, there aren't much MM fans on MMA. 'Antichrist Superstar' is definitely his best and most rocking album.

I'm surprised you're the first to review this album. I'm not very familiar with much Manson, but from what I know this is his classic.
