Here the sixth album of Marilyn Manson, the sell of this album was very awaited and was posponed several times.
Initially, the sell was for the autumn 2002, then for February 2003, but it was officialized on May 13th, 2003. The great change which can be noted on the level of the group is the end of the story of Twiggy on May 30, 2002. It was substituted by Tim Skold. Tim Skold became the bass player of the group but also the Co-producer of the album. The agreement between Tim and Marilyn very quickly arrived and of the ideas, of the projects were formed, Tim was very quickly integrated in the group then in the new album. The remix of Tainted Love (which is present in the album) shows us already collaboration between Manson and Tim Skold for a joint work. Manson send us in Berlin of the years 1930 and a pure moment of unforgettable madness offers to us as one could find in the cabarets of the time.

Nothing to say
The commentaries
Commentary from : Mimi_le_mec from France
After as much waiting, finally Marilyn Manson leaves its very last album, and believe me, it is to the author of our espérance.Complètement chaotic and pleasant at the same time, Manson is released and his more beautiful chief of work offers to us. Manson plunges us in Berlin of the years 1930 and pure a moment of madness inoubliable.Notre patience offers to us was put at hard test but it is rewarded by an album for quality. Fan of Manson, prepare you to break your moneybox bus MANSON RETURNS!!!!!!!
Commentary from Kirk_Hammet3 from France
Well done for M.Manson. With its new album, it knew to be renewed while keeping this special sonority ki makes its charm. At the musical level, the song are tràs worked and controls it dissonnances and various rates/rhythms are remarkable. there thus proves k' to us it does not need to play of the things complicated to do something of foillé. On the level of the image, one sees ke Manson innovates, surprises, and koi k' it makes, that returns well. In short, The grotesque golden delicious age of is has to regard as a bible musical with with dimensions of Holy Wood.
