Antichrist Superstar

This is just shit

I found Marilyn Manson a a challenging listen when I was actually into this genre of music. This is even worse than I remember.

EWWWWW: this shit just stunk. It was full of random ass noises and screaming and not a pleasant listen to the ears. I just didn't like it at all and I think everyone can pretty much agree with me on that. Unimaginative or arguably too imaginative to be good. Bad.

Another one of these albums that seriously make you question what this list is about. My life would be a whole lot better if I hadn't listened to this album, it's terrible. Another one of those albums that should have a zero score but that's not possible

Two chords, the same level of distortion and yelling into the microphone. People may still talk about his appearance and his publicity stunts (along with his felonies), but his "music" had zero staying power. This guy managed to be an even bigger loser than the losers who thought listening to him made them scary and edgy.

Junk "music" wasting my time

gross

One hopes all the Goth (or whatever) kids who thought they needed this got therapy instead or outgrew this shitshow. Rocks more directly and here and there almost tunefully especailly in comparison to NIN. Still, it's nearly as execrable overall. MM certainly belongs in the second-tier of alleged devil worshipers in pop and rock – and in just a few decades seems every bit as pedestrian as Ozzy and Alice Cooper. Didn't he realize that the extreme positioning was going to make his farewell and reunion tours even more embarrassing? One suspects it wasn't a sufficient number of middle fingers that he lacked but rather sufficient talent. As for the opera concept or narrative, who cares?

This is bad bad

Never listened to Marilyn Mason before. Never will again. Unless there is another album on the list. Then that will be the last album.

Sounds like a bad person And a quick glance at the other reviews (followed by a rapid search on google) confirms the impression. Ew. I think we should be able to distinguish between art and artist, but, unlike Hitler, whose art I appreciate, I hate this music deeply. Simply ungraceful voice with bland instrumentals, overall a bad experience. He's just a criminal that makes poor music

Not even going to attempt to listen to this

What a load of shite from a sex offender. It's as grim as he is

Can't rate this anything higher than 1, what an awful person.

The production is so good but the edgy bullshit is so performative and fake. All shock value disguising otherwise pretty basic takes on societal issues.

Nee

could not be arsed, did not like

What a racket. I love rock music but this is just puerile shouting.

absolutely not no words describe how terrible this was.

While I am all-in for anything that mocks/derides the evil hell that is the Christian right and fascism ... on a daily basis I'm more all-in for listenable music. This was never - and still ain't - it. Utterly unlistenable. 1/10 1 star.

You couldn't pay me to listen to this 0/5

Rapist shit

Rapist

I get why it's here, but I really wish it wasn't.

More of a best of artist with some admittedly great songs but also minus all the stars for turning out to be a rapey shit bag.

@ in a row that are not for me. Not a fan of the screaming vocal style Marilyn uses so often. Music is OK but.... I gave up after 8 songs. 1.5 stars

lol this is so embarrassing. There are obviously some strong songs here but even tho Marilyn Manson is a huge piece of shit, I had been thinking of going through his records recently and this was laughably bad to me. Woof.

The marking scale needs minus points to accurately rate shit like this.

Was always just about the image, only aimed at those who wanted a lifestyle or look, the actual music was always an afterthought and terrible.

Childish lyrics ruined some good work by the rest of the band

Det är jävligt dåligt. Han skriker ju bara.

More than being offensive or otherwise affecting this is just dull. There are moments which, if given to a better artist, could be great. But unfortunately they’re given to Marilyn Manson, and we’re listening to it.

Lame och klyschigt, både i musik och ord. Påminner lite om Eminem, toppexempel på 90 tals cringe. Så skönt att det tog slut

lmao. no.

Nah

Skipping this one. Fuck this habitually abusive rapist fuckstick and his music.

HL: “The Beautiful People”, "Man that You Fear", "Tourniquet" Funny that for the last two albums, I used the descriptive word "spooky" before getting Marilyn fucking Manson. Let me be clear: I can appreciate elements of dread, foreboding, supernatural creatures, etc. in my music, movies & other art. One example is NiN's The Downward Spiral, which is a kind of psychological horror. What I don't like is in-your-face blood & guts horror, which this album does much better than it does the former. I guess dread and nausea kinda feel the same. Though it's a major part of the package, if I remove the controversy, the Shock Rock of it all, I'm left with some interesting passages & songs ("Cryptorchid" is neat I guess), and a LOT of mediocre 90s nu metal. I heard the whole thing in one sitting at least, which I couldn't quite do with albums like Slipknot (1999) and Roots (1996). While I can’t pretend to love much of this, at least the concept of writing a concept album from a villainous perspective (as opposed to disturbed, like the aforementioned T.D.S.) sparks my interest.

whacky herrea he is whacky...tarkoittaa pakko olla hyvä artiste! pimeys...olen pimeydessaäää...kärsimys...kuolema... pakko olla hyvä artiste... uskomaton topikaalinen holy ja hän käyttää meikki tuoteta...näyttää oudolta henkilöltä mahtava artiste... mahtavaa mahtavaa sointua... man that you fear

yeah this music is bad and marilyn manson is also a bad person. easy 1

Fucking horrendous lyrics, instrumentals, and singing (?)

Pure gimmick with ZERO actual musical ability. What a complete cunt.

no stars for rapists

I was waffling between 1 and 2 stars for this album, but even trying to separate the artist from the art, I don't think this album is anything special. the songs are repetitive and overstay their welcome, as they're all just different tweaks of the same shock rock and (proto-)nu-metal-esque filler tracks. Shocked that some critics at the time hailed this as the best album of the 1990s or the album that killed grunge. Frankly embarrassing. favorites: I guess the beautiful people and cryptorchid

Meh. I was bored by the whole shock show in high school. It hasn't aged well. There are some interesting Industrial records from this era but this isn't one of them.

J'ai écouté les 2 premières, puis décidé à l'unanimité de bloquer l'artiste sur spotify.

un mauvais moment à passer 😃

Just shit but someone might like it

If I’d been old enough this would have turned me into Billy Graham. Gee whiz. White guy saying the n word right out of the gate, music is unpleasant to the ears, and the guy is a predator. Not going back to this one. Dadgum.

This album makes me feel gross. I was not excited to see this album come up as today's recommendation. I've heard several tracks from Manson, including at least one from this album. I'm not Manson's target audience, and I could not recommend this album to anyone. I couldn't finish most of the tracks, and part way through I stopped listening to the album. I'm sad that I have wasted time thinking about Manson.

Nope

Sadly, I don’t totally hate it, but it’s pretentious and boring and I do hate the guy for being an asshole towards women.

Would give this zero stars if I could. Complete trash. Couldn't even finish listening to this disaster.

🚮

no

As another review said “ What a weird, touchy, rapey, gothy creep.” I think this should be taken off the list. I listened to a few seconds of the songs but that’s it I do not want to support this person. I skipped this album. I read some of the lyrics to one of the songs- they were so fucked up. Anyone who likes this music (and knows what the lyrics are saying) have something thing with them. No healthy happy person spreads hate.

Etova tyyppi viimeaikaisten uutisten valossa. Jätän toistaiseksi kuuntelematta.

mm seems like a pussy, none of this is “scary” or challenging, i dig industrial guitars so some of that is cool but otherwise it’s for clowns

no

Nope

Tryhard. Go listen to NIN, KMFDM, Nitzer Ebb and literally hundreds of other better bands

ew

horrible.

I am not looking forward to this. Scumbag who already makes middling music any way? I would just skip it, but if I listened to Kanye I should probably listen to this. What, the guy who made music like this is a terrible person? Color me shocked! I was actually thinking about a two star with this one, as I didn't mind some small parts of some small songs, and the production value is pretty good. It reeks of 90s, which if that's your thing, then here you go. But then it just kept going on and on, with no song really feeling that different from each other. Whoa, he screams a bit, then at the end of the song various background noises start happening that are supposed to be eerie and uncomfortable to listen to? It judt becomes mind numbing by song number 9. Issue is the album then goes on almost double that. I also soley blame this album for the people who have "no lives matter" bumper stickers on their 2003 Honda Accord, as if they think they're edgy. All of that plus Mairlyn Mandon himself makes this a pretty definitive one star. God I hate Nu Metal.

no

I'd give it a 0 of I could

Just couldn’t get into it, not for me

my first 1! awful music made by an awful person. edgy and shocking just to be edgy and shocking, not point to make other than “ooo look at me arent i scary”. baaaaaaad

File under Wankers, epic. Not interested in this copycat Gary Glitter

I try and approach every album with an open mind and let the music speak for itself and avoid the misgivings of the artist in rating the music. Nope. This was torture and an absolute struggle. Like the other 1 star albums I have on this list, it has all the things I dislike: bad vocals, metal, stupid fucking lyrics, way too long, being from the 90s. It doesn't surprise me I hated this album since Trent Reznor is on it and I really do not care for NIN. Plus the whole thing with these artists in trying to be shocking or deep or some shit like that. Seriously it's so lame. Named after serial killers? I'm offended at how pathetic that is. It's very edgelord.

Hated it, angry heavy metal

Not a whole lot of variation, just industrial gloom all the way through. It would be fine if this was a 30-40 minute album, but it’s way too long, and there’s a lot of filler here. Honestly needed a break halfway through.

Brian Warner is by all accounts a pretty shitty human being. Difficult to separate the "artist" from the "art", when his stage persona and narrator are equally pretty shitty. The album is also pretty shitty.

This album contains a song about beautiful people written by one of music’s ugliest personalities.

nein. ich finds auch nicht so dolle

Not a fan.

Ógeð

Glam heavy metal is still heavy metal. I can only take it in small doses.

can't listen to marylin Manson ever since he called that dude from smashing pumpkins a zipperhead my perception of him is forever ruined

Marilyn Manson seems like a joke to me.

No thanks.

Lauter Schrott.

Y'know, I didn't like MM's schtick when I was a teenager, and I like it even less now. Plus there's been too many questionable human beings in the list this week. So I'm giving my lowest mark yet.

No.

I'm pretty sure Trent Reznor now bitterly regrets ever having associated his name with this pathetic clown. But even before the accusations of psychological and sexual abuse, even before all those unsavory extramusical events surrounding the story of this psycho parading as an "artist", it was so obvious how poorly this music would age in a very short amount of time. Behind the shock glock shtick, behind the lame posturing and the make-up barely concealing the lack of any relevant ideas on a musical standpoint, everything in this record overblown to the extreme actually sounds... bland. To go back to Reznor, what we have here is a third-rate version of Nine Inch Nails at best (knowing the original is not necessarily for everyone anyway). Like horror films that fail to scare their viewers, and are not even fun to watch if you just want to have a good laugh with friends, it's just an embarassing moment. A waste of time. In the age of Korn and Nu-metal, I guess sone teenagers desperately trying to look edgy could fall for this ridiculous circus. I'm also pretty damn sure that 99% of those teenagers now grown to adults never return to this album. Or *any* album by Marilyn Manson--I do seem to remember a few stronger melodies on *Mechanical Animals*, so I might feel generous enough to give that one two stars if it ever pops up here. But no more than that. The only thing that seemed to redeem MM at the time was that it was the target of those Christian fundamentalist lunatics obssessed with dogma and self-repression. Those fanatics obviously can't understand art. But since MM himself doesn't understand what *good* art is, why should we bother trying to redeem him now? Especially today, with all the news... ? Number of albums left to review or just listen to: 900 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 52 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 27 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): 22 (including this one)

Wow. It's... edgy? I don't know another way to describe this album. From the first song I felt like it was just trying to be crude and weird for the sake of being crude and weird. There just didn't seem to be any point to the lyrics, at least to me. Not my cup of tea at all. But maybe it would have clicked more if I was an angsty teenager when I listened to it for the first time. I really tried to listen to the whole thing, but it just wasn't in the cards for me.

Definitely don't understand this type of music, maybe you had to be there.

Kao separate the art from the artist al mu art nije nešto tak da nema potrebe. Ponosno dajem svoju prvu jedinicu.

Nah.

Ne.

I always try to separate the art from the artist. I can’t really do that here. Manson is as shitty as what he sings about. Fuck him. Fuck his shitty albums.

I felt negative vibes as soon as the first song started. What a load of crap.

Oh ffs...... Idk if I can listen to this One song in, can I turn it off yet? The lyrics are fucking terrible. How os this tapey nerd so popular?

03/02/2022 Didn't listen. Fuck this creep.

Boring ngl

Hated 25 years ago when it got out. Still hated it now that I listened to it again

It took me more than 24 hours to deal with this thing. A lot of pauses. Maybe 1 song was OK.

Didn't even bother

Very bad. 2/10

nope

Whiny tosh

Ugh. Shut up, Brian. I'd rather listen to Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Alice Cooper and Pink Floyd.

superkass

Oh, fuckin' hell.

Total trash.

Alleen het bekende nummer pakt me vanwege het tempo en de baslijn, de rest vind ik niet echt spannend

Antichrist Superstar is an unexpectedly cohesive album from a silly shock metal band and will stand as Marilyn Manson's definitive statement.

toma no cu

Hell no

Cringe. Apoio a ideia de fazer música anticristã pra se opor ao status quo, mas esse album é mto cringe.
