This is the one for the mobile phones to flicker in the night air in some enormodrome as the Manson live theatre e experience trawls the world. This one could be the single but I imagine those cowards at er, 'alternative' radio backing off from the heart of darkness that Manson occupies- their boundaries are defined by Coldplay and not stadium acts like Manson.ĭrop down further for some stripped down bluesy acoustic before the pounding back beat arrives with some gutter poetry: "everyone will come to my funeral / I will make sure I stay dead". leaves a scar' he sneers in that trademark croak. "You're not afraid of getting hurt, I'm not afraid of how much I'm going to hurt you" he intones with hints of S&M or emotional cruelty. There are no real surprises on the album so far but it's always a relief when an artist like Manson keeps it dark. The track is a sneering high IQ rush before collapsing into a weird splodgy bass rumble that outros the song.Ī quirky industrial riff bounces in as the pace is switched. It's a simple but effective trick, and Manson plays there game well, always gaining the upper hand. The ugliness of humanity is still a fascination for the singer, whose thing has always been reflecting the ugliness of the slavering media back at them. This album is already rocking, though the first two tracks show less of the dynamics that sometimes enhance his work.
There are some nice rhythm changes that you can sense mosh pit action to.
"Take it down from the inside." croaks Manson. 'Pretty As A ($)' is full-on from the top.
