MARILYN
MANSON
–
The
High
End
Of Low
(Deluxe
Edition)
Since
the
mid-'90s
every
Marilyn
Manson
album
seemed
to have
a fresh
new
outlook,
and
with
it an
image
re-invention.
Following
on Eat
Me,
Drink
Me,
this
offering
pumps
very
much
down
the
same
vein
(even
with
Twiggy
back
on the
team
as bass
player),
and
there
is also
not
that
much
of a
new
look
–
which
begs
the
question:
is there
anything
left
for
him
to do
image-wise,
and
is it
still
necessary?
(also
now
that
he's
gone
down
the
directors'
path
like
Rob
Zombie
who'd
both
always
had
a flair
for
the
visual).
Those
who
prefer
the
old-school
Manson
may
be expecting
more
as it
takes
a while
to get
started
(and
for
those
who
prefer
his
heavier
side
may
find
this
to be
"Manson
around
the
campfire"
with
too
many
slow
and
acoustic-laden
pieces).
His
sentiments,
anti-establishment
attitude,
alternative
world
view
and
sense
of danger
has
not
been
discarded,
and
the
darker
side
of romance
also
reemerges.
With
15 tracks
(plus
a single
remix
by Teddy
Bears
of Arma-goddamn-mother-fuckin-geddon
on the
regular
release),
as a
whole
the
album
needs
several
rounds
to really
settle
as a
satisfying
experience.
The
Deluxe
version
includes
an extra
disc
with
6 tracks
including
the
Teddy
Bears
remix,
and
alternate
(mostly
acoustic
flavoured)
versions
of Leave
A Scar,
Running
to The
Edge
Of The
World,
Wight
Spider,
Four
Rusted
Horses
and
I Have
To look
Up Just
To See
Hell.
Should
we be
expecting
Marilyn
Manson
Unplugged
soon?
