"I'm glad to see that this album gets at least a little love on this site. I thought it might be down there in obscurity with Daniel Lanois' albums.

I loved every second of this from the very beginning, and every time I've listened to it my love has only grown. Although it isn't necessary, o..." [+] Reply

""mechanical animals" was marilyn manson's "david bowie album" and probably lost him a few metal fans because of it. But for me, it's my favorite manson album, rising above the usual manson-whored metal template to put a glam sheen on depravity. That "rock is dead" song from the matrix is here, bu..." [+] Reply

"Best album i've heard in ages...this is the first album for me that truly captures the spirit of Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted. I'm not saying they sound like Pavement, but you can feel the similarities in the way the album jumps around. The track 'Borrowed Time' has the greatest chorus The Damn..." [+] Reply
