Im really looking forward to Manson's new album! Im really glad to see Twiggy back on board, and I really liked what Wes did in Black Light Burns, so I hope to see that this next Manson album will be as good as Golden Age..

I personally really liked Golden Age, It wasnt as good as Mechanical Animals or Holy Wood... but it was better then Eat Me, Drink Me.

Doppelhertz is amazing. All of you must get your hands on it if you can somehow.
I got mine with The golden age of grotesque - which was a pathetic album.

I think mansons best work lyrically was Holywood. As far as best overall cd it would have to be Portrait hands down.

Lyrically also Mechanical in parts.....Mechanical was a cd I hated when it first came out. Fundamentally Loathesome I fucking adore also Great big white world, Disassosiative and User Friendly have always been on heavy rotation for me.

As far as mansons personal life goes I really couldnt give a fuck who hes shagging. I think people like perez need real jobs instead of sitting at starbucks drinking enemas and typing away nonsense on their laptops.

Fred is being called by Bier's lawyers. I doubt Manson is wanting to get Trent involved in this - but he's really one of the few qualified people to testify to the band's management once signed to Nothing. The original band contract was signed by the Portrait-era band, but once Gein was kicked, Scott quit and Freddy got lit - I can understand how the band's power would have shifted.

As for Dita - I'm sure her testimony will only go to show they shared many of the expensives - including the lavish wedding in quesiton. She was far from poor prior to meeting Manson, so I really don't buy that he had to use so much of his personal money for her.

I personally don't care for EMDM at all, and while musically I didn't like John/Skold's writing on Golden Age - I like the lyrical style. It's much more of a play on words, and less bland and to the point. Songs like Doll-Dagga and TGAOG have some of the most original lyrics of his I can remember.

This new album is going to be ridiculous. I know this for a fact. Chris and Jeordie are not holding back in any respect.

^^Oh dear, I hope it's way better than Golden Age.

Why does GAOG get so much hatred? I loved it...

Stephen Bier...lol..."bier" means beer in Dutch!

"You're not being rude, you're just being sincere - that kind of excitement is welcome and encouraged.

I've heard the new album so many times that I practically know all the words (not really because they're so complex, but enough that's what I find myself singing to myself in the car, etc)

Without giving anything away - (I'm a Magician, after all, and keeping Secrets to someone who trusts me is my bond) - I'd say what stands out is how fucking raw and heart-felt the lyrics are on this one. Blood oozes out of the speakers on this one. Twiggy being back and allowed to fucking go crazy is a revelation - everything he absorbed being in A Perfect Circle or NIN but was held back from doing is laid bare here.

The people who long for the heaviness of Antichrist Superstar are going to shit their fucking pants - Manson has a better word than 'heavy' to describe it that is apt, but I'll let him tell the tale when the time comes. But....Holy.Fucking.Shit.

My favorites are the ones that he played me last that he had 'forgotten about' - which shows you the strength of this album. Think about that for a minute: my favorites are not the first, second, third, seventh or even TENTH ones he played for me. Wow. There is way too much for just one record.

I read one of the descriptions of one of the songs as the new 'Para-noir' which kind of confirms you can't really compare what's on this record to the past. To me it's more like Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin mated and their children covered 'Doppelherz' while slowly bleeding to death in a porno house on 42nd Street before it was taken over by Disney (but maybe that's just me)

But I digress....

I could talk about this for a week without giving away specifics but know this: Manson is at his strongest and most powerful in all the years that I've known him. The excitement I feel for the guy and what 2009 is going to be like for him cannot be expressed in words."

Why do I have this hunch that it's going to suck a lot of balls?

AnnaDraconida - you are right. I understand how GAOG & EMDM may have ruined Manson for some people. And those people who aren't really fans are probably already decided on how this album is going to be. But this is an album not written by John 5, not written by Tim Skold. This is the return of Twiggy, who has always been, and always will be the better half of this band.

I can't imagine what this is going to sound like, especially after Twiggy has grown so much as a musician from his time in APC, NIN & GM.

i just think if it's so goddamn spectacular he could have at least released one song, or a 10 seconds sample of a song or something by now. i remember all the talk before EMDM too, and when i finally heard it, it was the most disappointing album i'd heard in years.

i think there's huge potential for a brilliant album, as twiggy and vrenna are amazing artists when they're allowed to let loose and just create, but recent history, GAOG included, not to mention those supposed new track titles... i won't be convinced anything's changed for the better until i hear it for myself.

Guess who's celebrating his Big 4-0 today?

There was a time that I loooved Manson, and I'll admit that I still kinda do. However, I do think he's gone downhill since Dita. Granted, I loved Golden Age, but honestly she really was the band's Yoko Ono. There hadn't been so many line-up changes since Antichrist.

I'll miss Johnny, but I always thought Wes was too good for Limp Bizkit. Whether or not he's too good for MM...Well, maybe Manson's got a winner up his sleeve. I just hope he doesn't pull a backslide like what he did with Holy Wood. Manson's like a horror-show Madonna/Bowie hybrid. He's at his best when he's evolving, not playing it safe.

is Wes gonna be on the new album anyways? i thought he wasn't.
i hope this new album is something different and not an attempt for ACS II

No, Wes was hired for playing shows. Twiggy is handling guitar and bass on the album.
