We all can agree that Trent has matured in a much better way and that Manson has fallen oof far too low in quality and never caught up, meanwhile Trent's new EP seems to me to be a second coming, imho.
>>73888400
I'd say both Trent and Manson have fallen far below what they used to be, but for opposite reasons. But they're both showing signs of improvement recently.
>>73888350
that's a bit unfair.
Let's just say that Manson at his very worst is like Trent at his average, lyrics-wise.
>>73887287
>Steve Gottlieb was and is still a cunt
ftfy
>>73888494
Well at the end of the day Manson at his best is better than Trent at his best. Manson was at his best lyrically for 4 albums, you could argue 5 because Pale Emperor had some good lyricism too.
Trent was at his best lyrically for 1 album and 1 EP, and maybe on PHM if you really want to stretch it, but he was below average lyrically on all his other albums.
>>73888462
I think Trent didn't really ever fall off, With_Teeth was good to great and even amazing towards its three ending tracks.
Year Zero is right up there with rest of the discography, as is Hesitation Marks and NTAE.
>>73887287
I don't get why so many people around Trent at the time of PHM said it was terrible, what were they thinking? Was it not accessible enough or something?
>>73888587
Maybe Trent's just doesn't have the vocal charisma required to make good new wave.
I mean let's face it, he's no Marian Gold.
>>73888541
I find PHM's lyrics too be some of his worst, honestly.

God Bless David Lynch for that slow burn of a parody joke twenty years later
>>73890193
Lynch is such a lovely guy. Gordon Cole is also the best character on the show.
>>73888235
Trent kinda looks like Chad from Nickelback

Don't trust anyone, not even Lynch

what did trent mean by this?

Alright cool but who has the bigger dick
>>73890649
Every year Trent tells a joke. This Skrillex joke was joke of the year 2012
>>73890682
Was coming off as a clueless culture vulture who's just as ignorant as Skrillex fans part of his plan?
>>73890682
this year it was Deviations' packaging and price, but it went too far

It's pretty cool seeing Trent actually looking like
you know
an industrial rocker
instead of
you know
a faggot who happens to make industrial rock from time to time
