and i totally agree with Marilyn Manson sucking after Reznor stopped being involved. just like with Kanye West, i don't diss what i haven't listened too and i checked out all the Marilyn Manson records and didn't dig them.
i would also say listen to it again, it might be more complex a record than you remembered. it is definitely a concept album both lyrically, sonically, and production wise

I don't know. Maybe for a laugh if I have absolutely nothing better to do and nothing else to listen to. If I want to hear Trent's layered industrial find there's always Downward Spiral, which I actually relish the thought of hearing because it's so good.
It may be that there's something else keeping me from wanting to revisit this stuff. Probably never mentioned this, but one of my best friends died right around the time I started listening to Manson. Months before, actually. It was a bad period.
