Midlife Crisis? - By: Martin Katscan, 30 Aug 2008 
Midlife crisis?...OK maybe that's unfair. Heartbreak can happen at any age & although painful has been the inspiration & driving force of some of the most powerful music & art out there, some real classics - Unfortunately this isn't one of them.
'Eat me' is at an ill conceived, badly performed, badly recorded, dull yawn-fest of self indulgence bordering on the juvenile.
The persecution complex exhibited on this album is embarrassing from someone supposedly so intelligent.
Maybe Manson had to get all this out his system, but did he have to inflict it on us?
Manson 'Pop'! Has the 'real' Marilyn bubble burst? - By: Mr. G. Stubbs, 09 Jul 2008 
As you'll have gathered a mixed review - if you like the heavy, 'rolling riff' stuff (mobscene etc) chances are you won't like this. It's the cathartic result of manson's recent & well publicised split with Dita - but it it any good? Hmmmm, it's a touch patchy between not great but even worse a bit dull. Surprising thatin the light of such emotional upheaval it sounds so uninspiredin places. It'll need a second play and, though there are one or two tracks which shine ('you & me & the devil makes three' is probably the best), after droping the select few to your ipod it could be a while till the other tracks get a spin. Of course, artists are free to do what they want & I still like his music, I just prefer the other stuff he does....
Different, yet good - By: Kathryn D. Mckay, 17 Mar 2008 
If you arein to the normal heavy gothic metal you hear from manson then this isnt for you, it is a totally new style of music from him, yet has somne amazing rock songsin it - look out for "Heart Shaped Glasses" & "They said that Hells not hot"
Don't judge it too quickly - By: Tom E, 22 Jan 2008 
Quite frankly one of the best albums of all time. Yes it takes a bit of listening too, to get into it. But once you do, it's deep, heartfelt, genuine & every track sounds & feels fantastic. Just don't judge it too quickly, allow this masterpiece to slowly present it's self. You won't be disapointed.
Different but still good - By: mike, 11 Dec 2007 Manson has evolved & it is not to everyones liking. This is nothing like American Family or even Antichrist. He has developed a more polished & mainstream musical style but it is still Manson. If you liked Holywood you should enjoy this album. If like me you have grown with Manson's music from the early days you cannot help but consider this commercialaisation of a unique artist, but I have still enjoyed listening to this album.
