Launchfag here, I got this album in 96, is it their best?
Personally, I love the first half of Portrait a LOT, and Mech Animals too. Kinda stopped listening after that because whenever I heard a new manson song it was like eh.
Inb4 bowie ripoff, shut the fuck up lol.

>bowie ripoff
said no one ever

/mu/ fags always compare them
OP here. Makes me sad that Daisy wasn't around to reap the benefits of AS.
John5 was awesome though. I used to love Zim Zum a lot but it was more about his image. Daisy was AS. (antichrist superstar)

literally no one has ever made that comparison and implying that they have has only inflated the self-importance of this post
>>71426356
hell you on about? people are constantly on here saying 'manson is a david bowie wannabe'. I'm trying to be patient with you. Don't insult me, this isn't /v/.

Portrait and Antichrist Superstar were the best. Mechanical Animals was pretty good but I find myself skipping half the songs. Same with Holy Wood. Everything after that was terrible

The pre-Reznor portrait mixes are an interesting take on that album if you want to hear something different. I tend to listen to the pre-Reznor mixes more these days since the album version gets old after 20 years
>>71426856
its been a while but I remember mech animals been a start to finish album, need to give it another try tho
AS and Portrait are god tier, especially AS. You don't have to be emo to appreciate the musical genius on that album.
pale emperor is better than his garbage phase (basically everything post holywood) by a long shot.

I probably need to give it another start to finish listen too. I admit I mostly skip the songs out of habit... last time I listened straight through was around the time it came out.
>>71426921
when you say pre-reznor do you mean the early 4 track tape demos, or the Swan's produced version of Portrait?

>dwindling album sales
>piss poor concert attendance
>disconnect from majority of fan base
>replacement of actual devoted band member with studio musicians
