REVIEW: Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood Nothing Records, 2000
7.5/10
Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood - cover art Last time we saw Marilyn Manson he made a commercial hit album called "Mechanical Animals". This time he has gone back to his roots with an album a lot less commercial but still maintaining some of the commercial sound from the last one. Something for sure is that this man is a very interesting guy - sometimes he seems like the most stupid person on earth and other times he seems like a very intelligent one. There are only two solutions to this riddle. Either he is extremely intelligent or a very confused young man. Either way he is still capable of making music both interesting and controversial. It all comes down to one thing, rock'n'roll is meant to be shocking and Marilyn Manson is per definition the ultimate rock god. I don't see him as a god but I do admire the things he do. People like him who stir up the society are very important because without shocks people seem to be immobilized these days. "Holy Wood" is a good album, darker than the previous one but also noisier and more experimental which kind of spoils the music a bit. "Mechanical Animals" may have been saturated with commercial flirts but I still liked it better.
