Love the new Manson album. Ive listened around 8 times. Enjoyed it so much I did something I havent done in a long time, I went to a store and bought it off the shelf.
One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1 is truly a masterpiece, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a die-hard fan. This album legitimately feels like a follow-up to Holy Wood. As much as I enjoyed all the previous albums, nothing will top Portrait of An American Family to Holy Wood. The band's first four studio albums are masterpieces. However, this might be my fourth favorite album. It has my favorite opening song since "GodeatGod" and perhaps my favorite album closing song since EAT ME, DRINK ME. At this point, I can't pinpoint a particular favorite song because the entire album is perfect. All killer, no filler here. It's like a more cinematic version of Holy Wood/darker Mechanical Animals, with traces of fury from Antichrist Superstar, a dash of his last few albums, combining into a more evolved version of the traditional Manson sound that made us fall in love with his music. His voice sounds as good as it did in his prime. Nothing sounds rushed or like a first take recording. This album has beautiful layers of melodies, a good dose of aggression, and amazing guitar playing, with Tyler Bates tapping into his inner Daisy Berkowitz, capturing the soul of a Marilyn Manson guitar, with his own spin on writing, as heard in Funeral Without Applause, especially the outro. The album covers a range of styles, including industrial metal, cinematic synth arrangements, goth glam rock, industrial punk rock, and new wave, capturing the essence of Marilyn Manson and beyond. It's objectively the best album since Holy Wood, with a more refined version of the last few albums. This is a Marilyn Manson with something to say again; a refreshed and focused Marilyn Manson, fueled by the hypocrisy of modern society, with a concept and story to tell, just like when he first started the band.
Wow! What a studious explanation! Very layered and intertwined, truthful to the core. You should start filming your music reactions if you haven’t started already. 🌟
We need Front Toward Enemy released on streaming services. Quite enjoyed the Manson album but that single would've put it over the top. Opeth album is my AOTY, what an insane journey that album is.
Also, the production on OAUG is absolutely amazing. Everything is crisp, clear and nobody drowns anybody else out. Manson sounds absolutely fantastic and the vocal layering he did was to me a huge callback to Triptych era Manson. The album definitely pays homage to that era but in a fresh way.
Mansons new album was great. I didnt care for "death is not a costume" other than that, i really liked the rest of the songs. The ending track was very different, but it was good.
New Manson easily 9/10 , I love the atmosphere, lyrics n flow of the album so much ..! 1st track , Meet me at purgatory & the closing track are my favourites 🤘🤘
Opeths new album is phenomenal. They really killed it on all fronts. It's a perfect blend of pre 2010 Opeth and post. I will say though, it can be a little sporadic and all over the place. They should have given more time for sections to breath. That's my only complaint.
new Opeth definitely offers a lot to unpack, would be a crime to rate that album based on just one listen, so it has to be reviewed after in-depth examination for sure
Need to give it a full listen but first impression of MM is that the album can't live up to the awesome singles. Other tracks felt like typical later era Manson which I generally skip.
Cannot wait to see your review on the new Marilyn Manson album! I absolutely loved it. I so hope it gets your Two Toe Tags. I need to check out the new Opeth album. I agree with sometimes with how their music throws so much at you,it just overloads the senses,not on a bad way,and you're right,it is a lot to take in at times. Dream Theater is amazing as well. Looking forward to your review on both albums of Marilyn Manson and Opeth.
Would you be surprised to learn that only Manson himself, Tyler Bates and Gil Sharone are the only people to work on the album? While the new band is killer they haven't actually recorded anything with Manson officially.
New Manson album is brilliant. All killer no filler.
Manson album blew me away 😮

Opeth album is my AOTY, what an insane journey that album is.
I made it track 9 after Raise the Red Flag... it fits great there!
@SHREDDERS47 Uh
Hopefully front toward enemy will be on a chapter 2 release?
Love the new Opeth. Heavy, jazzy, epic. An awesome blending of eras. Lots of layers for future listens.
Also, the production on OAUG is absolutely amazing. Everything is crisp, clear and nobody drowns anybody else out. Manson sounds absolutely fantastic and the vocal layering he did was to me a huge callback to Triptych era Manson. The album definitely pays homage to that era but in a fresh way.
Can’t wait to crack into the new Opeth this weekend! New Manson is solid too
Mansons new album was great. I didnt care for "death is not a costume" other than that, i really liked the rest of the songs. The ending track was very different, but it was good.
Funny, “death is not a costume” is my favorite 😂.
Amazing album!
New Manson easily 9/10 , I love the atmosphere, lyrics n flow of the album so much ..!
1st track , Meet me at purgatory & the closing track are my favourites 🤘🤘
Marilyn motherfucking Manson is BACK
Excited for both reviews
I love Opeth because of their changes in music style.
Opeths new album is phenomenal. They really killed it on all fronts. It's a perfect blend of pre 2010 Opeth and post. I will say though, it can be a little sporadic and all over the place. They should have given more time for sections to breath. That's my only complaint.
I think Opeth and Panzerfaust owned the release day
new Opeth definitely offers a lot to unpack, would be a crime to rate that album based on just one listen, so it has to be reviewed after in-depth examination for sure
Nooo u did not react to the new clip of MM 😭
@@littlehorn349 we did, it's just not uploaded yet
What clip?
It's weird that Manson and Opeth started around the same time, 1990 or so and the singers are the only original members left.
Need to give it a full listen but first impression of MM is that the album can't live up to the awesome singles. Other tracks felt like typical later era Manson which I generally skip.
Tyler Bates is like Trent's Atticus.
I am totally mixed with Opeth. I like their albums from 1999 to 2011 the most. The new one is pretty good though.
