The Pale Emperor
If it wasn't for this list, plus an article on The A.V. Club that caught my eye, I wouldn't have listened to this one. The headline of said article claims Manson rises to relevance on this album, which...

I was determined to ignore this album when I first heard of it, but let my curiosity get the better of me when it too was put up online for streaming prior to its release. I sure wasn't going to buy...

So as I said I wasn't supporting Manson any more when this album dropped, but once again it was put up online for streaming in advance of its release. Much ado had been made of Twiggy returning to the...

So after all this love I'd felt for the band & their music, I hear that Manson has lost guitarist Daisy Berkowitz which was immediately a warning sign for me regarding this album. Back then I heard...
