The Golden Age of Grotesque [Limited Edition w/ Bonus DVD] [Explicit Lyrics] [Limited Edition]

Amazon.com
The Golden Age of Grotesque was inspired by the seamy of Weimar Berlin, circa 1930. The album is constructed along the lines of Alice Cooper's 1975 gem, Welcome to My Nightmare, dipping in to the same cabaret of Cooper's "Some Folks." Unlike Cooper, however, this is no comic nightmare. "This isn't a show / This is my f*cking life / I'm not ashamed / You're entertained," Manson snarls in "Vodevil," making it abundantly clear that the singer was born in the wrong time and place and is more at home among the absinthe-drinking revelers in pre-Nazi Germany. The album possesses a dark, accessible beauty rather than the twisted industrial dissonance that pervades much of his earlier stuff. "mOBSCENE" is a thumping rocker that features a deranged cheerleading squad. "Ka-Boom Ka-Boom" is a rousing stomper that Manson penned in response to an exec's complaint that the new songs didn't rock. Its simple yet seditious chorus decries, "I like a big car, 'cause I'm a big star / I'll make a big rock & roll hit." Since 1998's Mechanical Animals, Manson's albums have become progressively more tuneful, and Grotesque continues the trend. --Jaan Uhelszki

3.5- 4 stars. This is definitely a hard one to rate........2007-06-18

Musically this album is pretty good. It's nothing too complex and almost takes on a nu-metal feel to it. It's catchy though and leaves the listener excited. There's no doubt that this album, musically, is more commercial than Manson's other albums, but that's not necessarily a bad thing unless you're looking for something extremely complex. I almost feel like this album was directed more at the teenage crowd, which is sort of a disappointment in a way- but theres not much you can do, I suppose.

The lyrics in this album, however, are definitely reprocessed from previous albums. I think by now fans are aware that Manson is all about sex, drugs, violence, religion, and government. At this point in his career, fans don't need to be told yet again that these things are the epitome of his being. It gets tired after awhile.

Otherwise, this album was pretty good. I think for the most part it appeals more to an adolescent crowd, but I guess that's the way Manson planned it. So if you enjoy an instrumentally average and catchy nu-metal sound with lyrics all about hatred for politics, government, and religion, I'd suggest you buy this.

Make no mistake, Manson gets better with age........2007-05-14

I love everything Manson has done, but this one is right up there with Mechanical Animals as his best work. His new one, Eat Me, Drink Me, is coming out in a few weeks, and I am pumped for that too. This one includes the hits, "m(obscene)", and "this is the new sh##". But I think there are plenty of other awesome songs on here. He is not as heavy as he used to be back in the day, but I think he has gotten better at song-writing and coming up with killer hooks. For those of you who have stayed away from him because he looks freaky, you are missing out on one of the most talented musicians of our time. Not a dull moment on the cd. SOLID. My favorite cd of 2003.

Oh Yeah.......2007-04-26

So, they're up to the 80s now, and his new white trash audience wasn't mature enough to handle it. It was supposed to be like Psychotica from the beginning of Brian Warner's music career fronting fake Christian death metal bands, but his fans just didn't get the joke. And, with their popularity in doubt, Manson and his band retired and began lecturing on the importantance of having a sense of humor. Went to number on the charts its first week of release during a weak sales period.

Only buy if you're a Manson completist..........2007-04-19

Aside from a few good songs (most notably mOBSCENE), this is a rather tepid affair by Manson. He's simply recycling the usual stuff here, and it's rather stale. Marilyn seems to biding time here if nothing else. Manson is a hell of a musician, so hopefully the next one will be good.

Manson's Celluloid Mind Control Masterpiece.......2007-02-11

Admittedly, as a long time Manson fan, it took me not a few weeks but a few years to fully appreciate this fermented green beverage. Longtime followers of Manson's intellectual three-card-monte (qabbalah, crowley, bowie, warhol, tarot, etc.) might've felt disappointed with Manson's "new direction" to nowhere, as Manson's previously suggested themes for the album (decadent-era Weimar, Lewis Carroll, carnivals, freakshows, fashion and gentlemanly vice) were absent almost entirely from the musical gestalt (excepting 1, 6, and 15... Manson numbers?) and scattered wildly in the lyrics ("get your arms around me now we're goin' down down down"?)

But ultimately, in its futuristically untimely way, TGAOG serves as a warning to the neocons: excessive capitalist accumulation mixed with vice ends in brutality. But Manson's notion of the image has always been mixed with the Brutal, "art brut", while reality television and early 21st Century examples of "image-fascism" or invisible eugenics were unsure of themselves.

Hopefully the card with the red dot will be flipped with Phantasmagoria or Eat Me, Drink Me. But why worry?, has Manson ever ultimately let us down?

Average customer rating: MANSON MANSON Grotesque is quite Good Stand up and admit, yesterday's never comin'... Great Album. Requires some thought.

Grotesque is quite Good.......2006-09-09

I was ready to write Brian Warner off after his last couple of CDs flopped. The quality wasn't there and he seemed to be reaching for conformation. But lo and behold, his latest CD is also his greatest. Grotesque is full of original hooks, melody and sounds that make it fresh and exciting. The subject matter is more relevant and less shock value which makes it easier to absorb the messages while banging your head to the music. Best tracks: "Vodevil", "Bright Young Things" and "Mobscene".

Stand up and admit, yesterday's never comin'..........2006-06-12

I am pretty surprised at the amount of negativity in these reviews. I am more surprised at how banal these complaints are. The chief one seems to be that he "uses rap slang now". Which is funny, as it is the chorus of the song "The Better Of Two Evils" and doesn't show up anywhere else on the album. The lyrics, "Haters Call me bitch, call me faggot, call me whitey, I am something that you'll never be" are barely hip hop, and I have this question for the complainers: What exactly are the haters saying about Manson if not those exact same things? But I digress.
This is an extremely solid Manson album. The lyrics are very memorable, and seem to be less constructed around a character (as all his previous albums, barring the Spoooky Kids work, are) and focus more on his relationship with the world around him. For me, this makes them easier to relate to. He has a tendency to to combine words and images in a very clever way that you don't see very often in rock music today. The music is much more industrial flavored, as the psych-rock freakout bass/guitar work of Twiggy Ramirez has been replaced with the cold, hard slam of Tim Skold. It's different, but fits the mood of the album very well. And as Manson said "It's not meant to be like the old songs. It's meant to be better."
As for the DVD, it's some pretty freaked out junk. Very out there and strange, might be hard to get for some people. I don't know. It's hard to make a general statement about it, other than that I quite enjoyed it as a visual piece of art.
That's about it. I can't pick a favorite song from the album. My least favorite is probably Para-Noir, which is less of a song and more of an audio experiment. If you don't need songs that make you angry at your parents or overly angst-y brain damaged "rawk" to freak out the "preps at skool" to enjoy a CD, I highly recommend this. If you do, maybe you should be listening to the Disturbed or Limp Bizkit or some such nonsense.

Great Album. Requires some thought........2005-10-17

A lot of people here seem disappointed in Manson's latest creation. I don't understand this at all. I must be in the minority, but I love the evolution of Manson. I think he's gotten better musically and more clever thematically. Unofortunately, it seems his fans can't keep up.

Give this album several listens. Clearly this is an "exit album". Manson's frustration with his pop audience is obvious. "Do we get it? No? Do we want it? yea!". The Golden Age of Grotesque, cleverly camoflaged as a critique of the 30's era, is clearly a condemnation of the direction of modern music.

Its hard to miss the satire here. Yes, he's making up words, caricaturing production techniques of hip-hop and Nu-metal, and blasphemizing his audience in his lyrics. I hope Manson comes back from this album, which he has stated is his last, and reemerges in the music scene with something better. The question is, are you motherfs ready?

GREAT ALBUM.......2005-11-08

Marilyn Manson is a genius and this album proves it. It is a must have for any Marilyn Manson cd, the explict sexual lyrics are great as well as the politics

Golden Age Of Disapointment.......2004-06-22

I don't know what Manson was thinking! He fires Twiggy, Hires Tim Skold, and you get this? When you think of Manson you think of shocking lyrics, and music that makes you feel like youre in hell, but you like it. GOAG is not as harsh sounding as Manson claimed, saying: "it's like being kicked in the balls with a brick tied to a shoe". In my opinion it's like when my little sister throws a grape at me. Not saying it's a bad album, but as a Manson album it sucks.

This is the new Sh*t and it rocks.......2003-08-18

Marilyn Mansons brand new album and what an album it is its very different to AcS, Hollywood and mechaimal animals(the albums of marilyns i have so far)it is a hevay rock album mixed with cabaret and is a brand new sound to his music. its one of his best albums Along with AcS it has more of a "cabaret" point of view to his songs but it works really well they also have a new heavy pounding bass player tim skold who fits the band perfectly! i suggest you buy this album now. Marilyns still got more albums to come!

my favorite manson album........2006-07-01

the unedited version is better.i just got this one so i can listen to it with my parent and sister around.my favorite song is dolldagga buzzbuzz ziggety zag.

Uh, yeah..........2006-04-22

For a review of the album, look to the standard version of this album on Amazon. This review is for anyone specifically interested in the 'clean' version; presumably, collectors or people unable, for whatever reason, to get the standard version. If you're a parent considering wether to buy an edited or an explicit version of this album, despite what you've heard about Marilyn Manson, go with the explicit. With the exception of the song 'Para-Noir' -- a song which is completely ruined by the ommitance of the word 'f***' (look up the lyrics to see what i mean)-- cuss words aren't really an issue here, as this has got to be Marilyn Manson's least threatening recording ever.

As a collector of Marilyn Manson's music, i was eager to get this. The differences between this and the standard version are the censorship of some swears throughout the album (cusses are warped with effects, ommitted altogether, or, in the case of 'This Is The New Hit', replaced), and most cuss words in the lyrics artwork have been censored with asterisks (although 'wh**e' and 'b***h' are printed and sung without censorship)

The following songs have been censored:'This Is The New *Hit', 'mOBSCENE', 'The Golden Age of Grotesque', '(s)AINT', 'Sl*tgarden', 'Para-Noir', 'The Bright Young Things', 'Better of Two Evils'.

Get this if you, too, are a collector, or if you want to hear Marilyn Manson's music spoilt and interupted by censorship. God knows why a clean version of this was released. 'This Is The New *Hit' would be the only reason for a fan to buy this, but this version of the song can be heard in the music video (available with the special edition version of 'Lest We Forget' (a 'Best Of' collection with an awesome bonus music video DVD)).

Great album when it's not edited.......2005-03-28

The Golden age of Grotesque is the first Manson album I ever bought, and it remains one of my favorites. The songs are heavy, and full of anger, but the lyrics are not as dark AcS, MA, or Holy Wood. The only swear words that are edited out of this cd are f***, and s***, so you still hear whore and bitch. If you have ever heard an edited album, then you know how annoying it is. I would suggest you buy the explicit version instead, if you can. I only bought this version because I am a minor and I was alone. I would give the unedited version 4 1/2 stars.
