The elitists there were awful but it was the main place to go and get info and I still loved it (especially when they got exclusive interviews with the man himself). I'm still bitter about it closing out of the blue. Yeah they had an interview when manson/twiggy reuinited didn't they? I seem to remember that.. it's probably on MansonWiki actually. Do we not know why it closed then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these remind me of TGAOG era <3 http://greendaystephinmerritt.tumblr.com/post/20394276957 this photo, feels really TGAOG to me anyway http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1vz9lXHRO1rr2vxwo1_500.jpg this one reminds me of the MDNA album cover :toofunny: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc1993 1 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 the lyrics are absolutly the best written work he's done since The Golden Age of Grotesque. The Baudelaire influence is very, very noticeable. Les Fleurs du Mal is one of the first books I ever bought, and it feels like one of those funny coincidences when, years later, one of your favourite musicians says he used it to write an album with :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc1993 1 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Some tracks have the word-play that is very reminiscent of Golden Age, and personally I rate Golden Age quite highly - I know you don't though :) Probably most excited to hear The Gardner and Slo-Mo-Tion now!

The Stranger 4 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yeah even if TGAOG is one of my least favorite manson albums, I do enjoy the lyrics more than the sound! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
