Album Notes Programmer: Chris Vrenna. Audio Mixer: Sean Beavan. Audio Remasterer: Ted Jensen. Recording information: Sage And Sound. Marilyn Manson, the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar" who raised the ire of legions of concerned parents and civic groups in the late `90s, is not exactly the picture of mainstream respectability. But a decade on from his taking the shock-rock canon to a new heights, Manson has redirected the travails of his personal life into the intimate--at times, disarmingly genteel--confessionals on his seventh studio album, THE HIGH END OF LOW. While Manson's darkly intoned snarl and the band's characteristic industrial riffing remain as potent as ever on "Leave a Scar" and "Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon," other tracks, such as the world-weary "Devour" and the acoustic guitar-driven ballad "Running to the Edge of the World," reveal a vulnerable, albeit still sinister, facet to one of rock's most iconic transgressors.
Industry Reviews 15 necromantic vamps, mass-murder ballads, and stormtrooper anthems....He hasn't sounded this vital -- and tuneful -- since MECHANICAL ANIMALS.
3 stars out of 5 -- Manson the man at least seems re-energised here, playing the part of pantomime sex pest with a flourish that recalls those mid-'90s glory days.
