If Marilyn Manson went lighter on the metal and heavier on the goth, he'd probably sound something like Godhead, which isn't surprising, considering Manson produced the album. After bouncing around record labels and releasing several low-budget productions, the band finally finds a home for its unique blend of industrial goth-rock with Manson's Posthuman label on Priority Records. Manson does for 2000 Years of Human Error what Trent Reznor did for Antichrist Superstar by taking a band that was already great and adding some extra spike to the punch. Manson's influence is undeniable (he even puts his patented sandpaper vocals to use in Break You Down), but its Godhead's flare for combining dramatic, gothy rock with catchy dance beats over atmospheric, industrial soundscapes that steals the show. From loud rockers The Reckoning, Inside You, and Break You Down to the mellow sounds of Tired Old Man and I Hate Today, Godhead demonstrates a knack for creating emotional yet vaguely creepy music that just happens to rock considerably.

When it comes to the subject of goth metal, I've only ever been fond of Type O Negative and Marilyn Manson (if you consider him goth metal that is), but Godhead (a band pretty much discovered by Manson) is a band that has much more to them than just being classified as goth metal. The music itself is simple enough, but the lyrics are nicely done and well written, and "2000 Years of Human Error" is quite an above average album. Opening track "The Reckoning" is the album's standout track, and other great songs include "Sinking", "Backstander", "I Hate Today", and the surprisingly good cover of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" are the most memorable, and while the album does have a few parts where it seems it drags, "2000 Years of Human Error" remains a great album. If you like music like Type O, Manson, White Zombie, KMFDM, or Gravity Kills, then check out Godhead, you'll be pleasently surprised.

Godhead put together a very strong, original album. If you enjoy, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson (who produced and performs on this disk), Rob Zombie etc, you'll like this album. Not for the meak! Songs like "2000 years of human error" and "I sell society" are right in the popular cultures face. "I hate today" rings like the anthem of disaffected youth. "Inside you" takes another poke at the Right (but hits them with a good left).
The other gem on this album is the Beetle's "Elenor Rigby", an original rerecording that is refreshingly punk.
Twiggy Rameriz lays down some good base lines on the album but my only critisim is that Marilyn Manson's hand shows a little heavy on a couple of songs and detracts from Godhead's original sound (esp. Break you down). These tracks still jam, but I wonder how much influence the producer had!

Two other pieces of advice, see Godhead live, especially if you can catch them with Rammstein. This band rocks and sounds excellent live (a sign of quality in my opinion).
And listen to it loud!
