Comments for Marilyn Manson, Portrait of an American Family

Right, there's a lot of NIN here, but also more of a rock sound than an industrial one. The band seems to have a definite theme going here - their lyrics are pretty stuff like child abuse, sodomy, the like. But it's not dark, it's kinda kinda tripped out - picture Saturday Morning Cartoons crossed with Serial Killers. I've never quite heard anything like em before - not that the industrial rock thing is anything new, but it's the weird spooky stuff they've thrown into the mix that gives the music its edge. Very quotable lyrics.

This is one of the mostt bitching albums of the year and whoever the punk is who says it isn't dark either lives in a cave or smokes a whole lot of crack.

Marilyn Manson is a hybrid between metal and industrial. They will truly blow your mind. Their controversial lyrics and stage antics, limit their audience, are you one to let others tell you what to listen to? Buy it! Listen to it! Worship it! -NINcompoop

Nice post NINc! I always draw a blank when asked to describe these guys. I believe it wz their guitarist Daisy Berkowitz that said they were Psycho-PunkMetal, which works fr me. I describe the music usually as damn good and the lyrics as Satanical-Satirical. Excellent Listen, even if U only hear the Willy Wonka monolouge Mr. Manson does at the beginning. It'll grab ya from the first listen, and if ya see 'em live, pray ta Marilyn fr forgiveness, and remember who yr daddy is.

I don't know if it's even fair to say that there are nin influences in manson. Come on, the only reason that the two are compared is because they are on reznor's label. On its own, this album rocks. There are a few inconsistent songs but it is rare to find an album without them. If you've never heard them, you should soon.

Manson's new album is out..."Smells Like Children"...they do a kickass cover of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams". For anyone in the MidSouthern U.S., they're playing Club 616 in Memphis on December 10. Get the new album, and your lunchbox, and get down to Memphis on the 10th.

Nobody ever mentions sweet tooth. I would like to take this opportunity to say that it kicks ass.

Prelude (The Family Trip), a Willy Wonka monologue from the boat ride scene (dig the freaky wall pictures, kiddies), is a great use of the distortion effects with the gradual buildup of the background noises. Cake and Sodomy friggin rocks. "Who said God was ever clean?" Dope Hat friggin rocks. "Fail to see the tragic -- Turn it into magic" Dogma friggin rocks. "There is nothing that you favor -- evil is your sour flavor -- you cannot sedate -- all the things you hate" Get Your Gunn (you guessed it) friggin rocks. "I hate therefore I am" They all friggin rock. "I hate what I have become to escape what I hated being"

What can I say? I love this fucking album! I can't get enough of it! "Dope Hat" kicks more ass than any other. And the video is the coolest music video that I have ever seen. "Get Your Gunn" is another of my favorites, as well as "Sweet Tooth" and "Cake and Sodomy." My mom hates these guys with a passion, but they are among my favorites. I love "Prelude!" Even people who don't really like Marilyn Manson tell me that it kicked ass! "Organ Grinder" is also a blast! "Smells Like Children" was beautiful. I cannot wait for Antichrist Superstar. I am definitely going to see them live the next time that they tour. Another thing that I love about this album is that the lyrics are in the inlay!!!! That kicks ass! It's really too bad that Daisy had to leave the band. He was the cutest. As for them sounding like NIN, I don't think so. They have a style that's pretty much all their own. If they were to be compared to anything by NIN, it'd have to be the "Broken" EP. That ruled too. I prefer the more industrial tracks and remixes, but that doesn't mean that their harder stuff isn't cool. Did you know that Marilyn Manson is listed in the "Thanks" on NIN's "Downward Spiral?" That's cool. I love these guys!

It's a total breakthru album, though I can't say I like every single song. Dope Hat is by far the best song MM's ever done! Well, that and Misery Machine. No one ever mentions Misery Machine, it's odd. Lots of cool little cartoonies inside. Cheesy yet cool. Marilyn Manson looks like a dark elf from Dungeons and Dragons or something.

What can I say? I hate this fucking album!! This group so fucking sucks! That cocksucker is going to Hell!! What a devil worshipper!!!! Who the Hell listens to a group like this anyway. All of you assholes are going to hell! Do you hear me, you fucking retards? You are all idiots!!! This group is nothing but shit!!! Ha hA ha!!!!

This album sounds like something written by George Harrison's evil twin.

: How to turn $6 into $6,000! : : READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! : : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little : : while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, : : and came across an article similar to this that said you could make : : thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of : : $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but : : like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said : : that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the : : article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of : : the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. : : (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it : : over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I : : figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, : : right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... : : within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I : : figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my : : first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had : : made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over : : $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I : : have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in : : rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more : : than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most : : importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this : : article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. : : I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you : : will start making more money than you thought possible by doing : : something so easy! : : Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or : : download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come : : in! : : It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus : : postage) : : IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not : : illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! : : If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive : : extraordinary dividends. : : PLEASE NOTE: : : Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be : : yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of : : the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its : : success by carefully adhering to the instructions. : : You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business : : your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in : : the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are : : happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made : : from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from : : people like you and me asking to be included in that list. : : Here are the 4 easy steps to success: : : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on : : each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now : : get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of : : paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent : : thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal : : them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of : : paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 : : bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY : : LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for : : it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried : : about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. : : Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed : : legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: : : #1) Paul Riely : : 1637 Hering Avenue : : Bronx,NY 10461 : : #2) Kevin Baker : : 26434 Greythorne : : Farmington Hills, MI 48334 : : #3) Gary Reinard : 16712 San Luis : Morgan HIll, CA 95037 : : #4) Ben McNeally : : 3019 Restormel St. : : Duluth, MN 55806 : : #5)Jeff Millan 1113 N. 19 ½ McAllen,TX 78501 : : #6)Gordon Gaskins 2506 Grove Way #4 Castro Valley, CA 94546 : : STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move : : the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR : : Name as number 6 on the list. : : STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as : : close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at : : least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All : : you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you : : make! : : This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 : : Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. : : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, : : you can use it again, and again. : : PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the : : honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully : : adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of : : integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many : : others have received will come your way. : : NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, : : either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. : : This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might : : be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk : : of mail theft.) : : So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, : : six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List : : Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list : : geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will : : be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for : : only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send : : it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! : : ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ : : Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own : : posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and : : drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' : : from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the : : computer's memory. : : Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top : : of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will : : paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name : : to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If : : you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always : : have this file to go back to. : : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for : : various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, : : discussions.) : : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new : : message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste : : from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that : : everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a : : particular group, click the post message button. You're done with : : your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is : : jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of : : it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE : : MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT : : YOU : : HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving : : money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to : : rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If : : you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as : : the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE : : CORRECT.** : : Now the WHY part: : : Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low : : example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, : : each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 : : postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each : : of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each : : make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I : : will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn : : around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 : : replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the : : fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with : : my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me : : $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 : : newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 : : newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original : : investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the : : list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send : : out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 : : again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you : : realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the : : internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are : : now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think : : so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no : : one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that : : happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest : : people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are : : willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new : : users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual : : internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really : : work.
