    Album Description
    Marilyn Manson's anticipated reunion with longtime friend and foil Twiggy Ramirez inches closer with the release of "We're From America," the first listen from the forthcoming The High End of Low. The album's official first single "Arma... geddon" will arrive at radio Spring 2009. Manson's new lineup including Ramirez (for the first time in close to a decade), plus keyboardist Chris Vrenna, and dummer Ginger Fish, will close the main stage at the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, this July through August. Manson will also kick off his world tour with a headline festival run this June in Europe

    Produced by Manson ,Vrenna,and Twiggy, The High End of Low was recorded in his Hollywood Hills studio and also features the track, "I Want to Kill You Like They Do In The Movies." Manson says of the new album, "I think my life definitely ended and began. The record sounds very final, but it's almost optimistic - though that feels like a strange word to use. It's a phoenix from the fire and a redemption resurrection."

    Since emerging from South Florida (in the early 1990s), Marilyn Manson has continued to upend the mainstream with each new release. The tumultuous relationship Manson has cultivated with the public worldwide has resulted in multi-million records sales, sold-out tours, protests, legal battles, hate, adoration, award-winning distilled spirits (Mansinthe) and most importantly, a long list of some of the most enduring and genre-defying music in the rock era ("Lunchbox," "Sweet Dreams," "The Beautiful People," "Tourniquet," "The Dope Show," "This Is The New Shit," "Mobscene," "Heart-Shaped Glasses,"etc.) The new era of Marilyn Manson and The High End of Low begins now.

    Album Description
    EXPLICIT. 2009 release, the seventh studio album from one of the biggest Rock superstars on the planet. The album as a whole is a triumph, with Manson also exploring his more introspective side. The album marks the highly anticipated reunion with longtime friend and foil Twiggy Ramirez, together for the first time in nearly a decade. Produced by Manson, Vrenna and Twiggy, The High End of Low was recorded in his Hollywood Hills studio. Manson says of the new album, "I think my life definitely ended and began. The record sounds very final, but it's almost optimistic - though that feels like a strange word to use. It's a phoenix from the fire and a redemption resurrection."

    4 out of 5 stars deserving of several listens before one passes judgment   February 2, 2010
    a reader (the District of Columbia)
    I've never been blown away by MM's overall body of work, but do consider Antichrist and Mechanical to be among the best "electric rock" LPs of the last couple of decades. Warner always struck me as staying true to the course and not living a lie, unlike A. Cooper to whom he is so often compared in the most misguided of ways. This latest release is clearly the closest the band has come to either of their past two masterpieces--hands down. These three are the definitive MM catalogue, all similar in some ways, yet all unique of course. Much is made of White's return, and I for one can certainly hear and feel his presence. He is a dynamic force in any recording studio, playing bass or guitar tracks, or even just being involved. I haven't noticed many tour dates in support of this fine record, and perhaps that, and not the album's reviews or sales figures, is the real sign of the times. If this was to be their last album (and I doubt very seriously that it is), Brian and the Boys certainly go out on a high note, rarely if ever deviating from the stunningly visual and artistic course that they set for themselves, and all the while backing it up with top-tier musicianship with a noticeable amount of understanding of actual music theory--feats probably never before done by bands in this genre, including Bowie.


    1 out of 5 stars ALMOST As Bad As "Eat Me, Drink Me"   February 1, 2010
    Hsxeric (Michigan)
    In 2008, M.M. came out and stated that he was working on a new album that would mark the return to his roots in industrial, pissed-off goth-rock that was entirely absent from his horrid 2007 effort Eat Me, Drink Me. I don't know if he lost his mind or simply has gotten older, but this "return" to his old sound is more than a little off. It sounds closer to Eat Me, Drink Me than anything from Holy Wood or Antichrist Superstar. I guess I can't blame the guy for getting sick of the same sound after all these years, but I do blame him for leading everyone on into thinking he was returning to the Marilyn Manson that we all know and remember - screaming "Fight!", lighting fire to the American flag, and shoving microphones into more than a few orifices of his female stage companions. Regardless, the album's songwriting is pretty crappy, which might have saved it from such a non-Manson sound. I fear this is the end of our rebellious hero. It's only a matter of time until he becomes Alice Cooper, part II (hint: your dad's shock rock icon).


    3 out of 5 stars A shallow record but entertaining.   January 30, 2010

    It was a little over a year and a half after his disastrous album "Eat Me Drink me" that Marilyn Manson decided a second attempt. The question is, did Marilyn Manson succeed in making a dark, well produced and sincere album that we fans have come to know and love from the Antichrist Superstar? The answer is kind of.

    The "The High End of Low" (THEoL) is not so much an original idea as it is a second attempt at making "Eat me Drink Me" (EMDM) with his formally absent friend and long time collaborator Twiggy. Like his last album, THEoL focuses more on Marilyn Manson as a person rather than a morbid look at society. Where Portrait of an American Family, Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animal and Holywood all focused on the world from the perspective of another, THEoL is a biography of Manson both as a celebrity in peril and a hurt romantic.

    Like EMDM, THEoL seems almost shallow in its desperate attempt to seem hurt and deep. Rather than screams and razor like vocals, Manson seems content at voice cracking tear whimpers and melodic ballets which oddly works for most of the songs on the record but leaves you feeling empty at the end. The closest song on here to his older work would be Arma-godd**n-Motherf**kin-Ged which has similarities to Holywood rock but even it falls flat compared to previous work.

    The biggest problem with this album is that there were Marilyn Manson albums before it (not including EMDM). By itself, THEoL is a well put together record. Almost every song on it fallows a catchy formula that makes you like it. But after that is said and done, I can't help but feel like there is something missing. Rather than being a standalone album, it felt more like a remake of EMDM and a small influence of Mechanical Animal. I don't expect Marilyn Manson to make another Antichrist Superstar but it did not feel like the muse was with him on this one. (Heck even the cover of the album is lack luster)

    Another thing that is greatly missing from his work is his band. For the last eight years, Marilyn Manson has been a solo project. Even with the inclusion of Twiggy, There seems to be a lack of creativity that did not exist when everyone in the band had a say. Even Dave Mathews learned that his solo project did not have the power that his band had. Marilyn Manson needs to find himself musically and get refocused away from self loathing and angst emo music to something more fitting of his portfolio. One should reinvent themselves but not at the cost of integrity.

    To answer the question, should you buy this album? Yes. It is a fun listen and it has a lot of cool songs on it that will keep you entertained for awhile. But this will not go down as one of his better albums. Sadly, in five or six years, people will have a hard time remembering the name of this record.



    5 out of 5 stars EPIC Album   January 30, 2010
    Samy Vagabundo (Ponce, PR)
    I'm not a typical reviewer but after seeing the low ratings I felt the need to review this album. It is an amazing album simple as that. In my opinion Marilyn Manson returns to the sound of his greatest albums (Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood)with this one. It is also my favorite album since Holy Wood. The song Devour is one of his greatest songs to date, nobody can deny that. Anyways it is an awesome buy for old fans and new fans as well or anybody wanting to buy good music.
