Album Description
Four years since his last studio album, and following up on his highest charting radio single ever ("Personal Jesus", from Lest We Forget), Marilyn Manson returns with "Eat Me, Drink me". Art openings, soundtrack appearances, and personal circumstance have grabbed headlines for Manson in recent months, setting the stage for the release of Eat Me, Drink Me, which is unquestionably the artist's most personal statement yet. Always the provocateur, in what may be the ultimate subversion of the code of aggro-rock, the songs are immediately catchy - all jagged guitar hooks, anthemic choruses, with an overlying glam-rock sheen. Lyrically Manson has never been more riveting, seemingly having enough to draw from in his own life and from society at large to present a fresh, snarling vision.
Album Description
UK pressing of the Gothic Hard Rocker's 2007 album adds a pair of remixes of 'Heart Shaped Glasses (When The Heart Guides The Hand)' as bonus tracks (Inhuman Remix By Jade Puget and Space Cowboy Remix). Marilyn Manson has made his best album to date. Written and recorded in six months, it's also his most confessional record. Always the provocateur, in what may be the ultimate subversion of the code of Aggro-Rock, the songs are immediately catchy - all jagged guitar hooks, anthemic choruses, with an overlying Glam-Rock sheen. Lyrically Manson has never been more riveting, seemingly having enough to draw from in his own life and from society at large to present a fresh, snarling vision. Polydor.

 Where Is The Hate? (no BS review) October 8, 2009

Musically and lyrically this album is not horrible, however, that is not the problem here.
At a time when the music industry was sh**ing out countless second rate, media c**k sucking, shallow, clones, Manson made some of the darkest most daring and original music on the mainstream market. What set Manson above the rest was his unique sound. Bizarre, raw, sick, grimy, twisted, and dark. It was unique, addicting, and amazing. Manson (and Trent) were the Gods of modern mainstream alternative rock and deserved much more respect and play time than they got. (Disagree? You can take your Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Adema, Papa Roach, Crazy Town, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Puddle of Mud, Nickelback, and Trapt and shove it right up your ignorant f***ing a**es.)
But now...
Manson lost "raw, sick and grimy" with the highly polished Golden Age of Grotesque and has now thrown all but "dark" away with Eat Me, Drink Me. He has now moved from his industrial/goth/shock-rock/punk into the (I dare to say it) goth/emo pile. We all know we have more than enough (good and bad) of that to go around.
Im all for musicians doing what they want, but that does not mean I have to like what they do. The fact is, this is not Marilyn Manson. This is an impostor. Yes, the music is catchy. Catchy in a cute and fun sorta way. If he had the ability to listen to this album during his Antichrist Superstar period, he would have kicked himself in the nuts. And don't give me that "he matured" bulls***. Ive seen old people with more edge than this new Manson could even p*** at. Get off this heartbreak sh** and take it out in a blinding fury on the Christians, media and government! Be more daring and raw than ever!
This was my last Manson album purchase and my first Manson album sell back (Golden Age followed shortly after). I have not lost all hope even though The High End of Low was better but sill a huge let down. He still has then ability to make a killer album and his image has not been to cleaned up to pull it off.

 "Some Good, Some Bad" September 15, 2009
Tommy Morais (New Brunswick, Canada)
After releasing the greatest hits ""Lest We Forget" in 2004, Marilyn Manson announced his retirement from music. Once the tour was completed he decided not to give up music and continue. Manson had started working on the album back in 2005 but then he had other projects (like his movie Phantasmagoria and visual arts) and it took more time to release the album. Manson only worked with Tim Skold for this one, the result, "Eat Me, Drink Me" is more personal and perhaps a darker album than usual. Guitarist, keyboardist and bassist Tim Skold made a huge contribution to the album by playing those instruments and he wrote the songs (well most of them from what is known), this is his last album with the band.
The opening "If I Was Your Vampire" starts out the album with a strong, dark epic song. It's something different clearly and a great song, in a way it's one of the best thing Manson did, the song is deliciously dark. "Putting Holes In Your Happiness" is much like the first song, a great very dark song, slow tempo and uplifting."The Red Carpet Grave" is another good song, not much to say I really like this one. "They Said That Hell's Not Hot" is one of my favourites on the album, great lyrics, the song just rocks."Just A Car Crash Away" is depressing, has no point and ends up being one of the worst song here."You And Devil Makes 3" is the song I liked less on the album, it's so boring that it's pathetic, and it doesn't go anywhere unfortunately.
Heart Shaped Glasses (When The Heart Guides The Hand) is interesting, it has great guitar work and the song is catchy, the lyrics are excellent, it's one of the better songs on MDM . "Evidence" is one of the most interesting songs on the album, haunting guitar and lyrics, underrated song. "Are You The Rabbit?" is not bad but it's not that good either, opinions may vary on this one. "Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery" was first thought to be an attack at the band My Chemical Romance but it's not. The song is very in your face lyrics and makes for another solid song. The title song is not very good, you get a weak closer here, and it's too depressive and not a good kind of song about depression.
"Eat Me, Drink Me" is not a bad album even if it's probably his worst album. It has some goods songs and a few moments here and there but it's lacking something. Some of the songs just don't do it for me but it's not all bad. It seems to me that the album is more Tim Skold's because he did pretty much everything; I mean Manson sang and probably landed a hand in writing here and there but that's it. The final result is one of the weakest (if not the weakest) Manson has done. I'll "Eat Me, Drink Me" 3 stars, it's weaker than his other albums and he contributed less to it. At the same time it has some very good songs and the album has an interesting sound.
Mercilessly beat a drunk with a xylophone. That will sound better than this. September 14, 2009

If you took an 85-year old, drug-addicted ex-prostitute, and force-fed her liquor after you doubled her medication, but then got her to scream obscenities in her drug addled state, it might actually reflect the sonic quality and content of Marilyn Manson's more recent albums. With all the grace of a tonedeaf octogenarian streetwalker, Manson attempts pairing his vocals over 70s noir nuances and synth lines that still hope to sound SPOOOOOOOOKKYY! Unsurprisingly, it fails. Maybe because doing coke and scoring with hot hollywood girls makes you lose any angst you might have about a society that now has a place for you... Or maybe the act was just shallow enough for 30 year olds to only understand later how unbelievably vapid his message is in retrospect. I'm not sure what the reason is. But Manson did seem a lot cooler when people believed he was going to give children drugs and then eat them. Musically, his sound seems to go nowhere without a theme. Vocally, he just isn't as well matched as he was to his past works. Many years later, and no longer the teenager who finds his challenge to society a compelling reason to enjoy him (partially because it's no longer there), I find myself questioning why I ever liked his music in the first place. Perusing the record of albums in my digital collection, I can still enjoy much from Portrait, surprisingly not as much as I previously enjoyed in Antichrist, and a good majority of Mechanical Animals that I paid less attention to in his heyday. The rest of his catalog can be had by handing a few key words like "drugs, god, and suicide" to a thorazine-addled senior citizen armed with a distortion pedal and a megaphone.

MM really let me down with this one. Where's the violent, heavy, rebellious, f**k-the-world Manson we've come to grow and love? Not here. All we have is a depressed rock star who divorces his wife, slips into substance abuse, and turns down the guitars..........(sorry, I fell asleep even thinking about this album, let alone listening to it).
