Beautiful People, The (A Tribute To Marilyn Manson) - Various Artists

Marilyn Manson. Make up your own mind.

Advantages: Interesting lyrics, opinions, I like the music. Intelligent guy.
Disadvantages: ------- a long review ------- sorry ------

Instead of ranting on about how great Marilyn Manson is and how much I Enjoy his music and how ignorant people can be (and can't they just, I can't even begin to describe how ignorant. Particularly many years ago while at school rock music and Marilyn Manson were 'weird' and those who did not conform to the normal 'nice happy pop music and dress top to toe in Adidas or whatever the trendy brand of the week was' were 'freaks' and got much hassle over nothing....(yeah yeah I'm a little bitter and twisted) But these ignorant people seem to still make up the majority of today's population - I know there's people with brains who use them out there somewhere but I still find it worrying and hell it scares me a little sometimes...but I'm trying not to rant so bear with me I'll try and explain a few things. For starters just who is Marilyn ...

IT'S RUMOURED TO BE A TRIBUTE

Advantages: Recognisable tunes
Disadvantages: Neither fish nor foul. Best stick to the original

I was prompted to shake the dust off a neglected corner of my record collection by a review posted by Nar recently. "The True Legacy of a Legendary Musical Divorce?" is about the Album "Legacy, a Tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours" - a CD of cover versions of the songs from the classic Mac album 'Rumours' released in 1977. Nar also said that he was '?forever on the look out for new versions and covers of songs by leading artists known and unknown.'. For completeness then, here is one for his collection and maybe one which may have escaped your attention the first time around. The String Quartet Tribute's declared aim is to concentrate on one well known performer or group at a time and produce classical (instrumental) versions of the songs 'note for note'. Some albums are compendiums of the original's more well known titles; others, as ...

Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals

Advantages: Fantastic variation, and some of their best songs.
Disadvantages: Songs are all fantastic, but there's no real structure to album.

I think most people have heard of Marilyn Manson, and have a pretty fixed image of his style in their mind. Not afraid of wearing outrageous clothing and make-up, he has a definite eclectic theme to his style and music. However, if you're turned off by the thought of an album full of screaming, pointless metal, then think again. Never one to shy away from controversial topics, Marilyn Manson's lyrics are an either love them or hate them deal. If one was to take the time to read the lyric sheet (as even I'll admit trying to pick some of the words out is an impossible task) you'll find them sharp, and strong-willed. While they may not be to everyone's taste, they do speak to you. Though be warned of the heavy usage of swear words, this album is definitely worthy of its parental advisory sticker. Track 1 - Great big white world ...
