5.0 out of 5 stars Manson's "Comeback" Album May 1, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am and have been a long time fan of Marilyn Manson. This is the album that we the fans- and the Man himself- have been waiting for since his 2003 release, the Golden Age of Grotesque (and for many, since 2000's Holy Wood). His last release was the High End of Low (called by many fans The High End of LOL), which struggled to have an "album" feel, as much of THEOL felt like it was a bunch of songs put together with no semblance or context. That issue does not exist on Born Villain, as it is certainly worthy of being on a list that includes works such as Mechanical Animals and Antichrist Superstar.

The music of this album is absolutely lovely; every instrument is placed and played with care and each song has a lush attention to detail that you can't find on most of MM's work, and stands beside Antichrist Superstar when it comes to musical strength. Manson himself wrote the most music for this album then he ever has, and it does well at giving a fresher sound that he's needed. This is really the culmination of his previous work, as the industrial, heavy aspects of Antichrist Superstar, the electro-industrial sense of the Golden Age of Grotesque, and the glam aspects of Mechanical Animals are all in play. It really sounds better than almost anything he's made, and really brings something familiar and something fresh to the table all at once. Manson's voice is far better than on his last few records, as it sounds much more certain and much less broken. On songs like Lay Down Your Goddamn Arms, it even soars. On Murderers Are Getting Prettier Every Day, it proves that, yes, Manson can still pull of his heavy metal screams and screeches (something we've not heard in 12 years).

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Manson album worth it's namesake May 18, 2012
Format:Audio CD
To tell you the truth, I nearly gave up waiting for the next great Marilyn Manson album. After 2003's The Golden Age Of Grotesque was released my appreciation for the band had started to wane. It felt as if Manson had moved from being the creepy musical genius to a commercial rock star. It just seemed as if the shock and awe factor that made the band so great in the the 1990's had gave way to a generic industrial rock band in the early 2000's. Then after a four year hiatus, the dreary goth rock Eat Me Drink Me was concieved to subpar fanfare. Don't get me wrong, the album had it's moments (e.g. If I Was Your Vampire, Are You the Rabbit?, and You and Me and the Devil Makes 3), but it really just fell flat when set up against other Manson albums. It just seemed to be more pop-orienated in it's approach rather then the rock sound that graced the previous endeavors. Then, in 2009, the return of Twiggy Ramirez as a full time band member brought the sense of relief that the band was truly whole and back again. Hell, the band interviews hinted at an album that could rival Antichrist Superstar in it's ferocity. So of course fans expected to see the Marilyn Manson of old. Instead, we were given a stripped down album that felt and sounded more like a compilation of songs then a "whole" album. The only tracks on the album that really stood out to me were Four Rusted Horses, Running to the Edge of the World, Unkillable Monster and I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell.So as you can see, it was understandable that I was somewhat sceptical about the newest Manson title....

5.0 out of 5 stars This IS Evolution... May 1, 2012
By Qbicle
Format:Audio CD
To say that Born Villain is a return to form for Manson would not accurately represent what the artist is all about. Born Villain is fresh, raw, personal (though much less so than Eat Me, Drink Me), and brutal. It is unlike anything he has produced before, despite Bassist/writer Twiggy's comparison to Mechanical Animals. It seems as though Manson has moved away from concept albums in favor of a broader net approach. The intellect behind his lyrics (with references to Persephone and Macbeth) remains unmatched from any metal/alternaindie-whatever band. The songs are tight, pack the immediate punch they need to when necessary, and let you breath just whenj it all feels overwhelming. Manson never "lost" anything, despite poor performance ratings on his last two albums (which I personally disagree with)... He just continually evolves and is never Ever predictable. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Born Again Villain May 1, 2012
Format:Audio CD
Marilyn Manson / BORN VILLAIN: I will make this brief so we can get into a track-by-track breakdown. Born Villain moves along like a raw murder spree. The 8th Marilyn Manson release contains some of the best driving guitar riffs MM and Co. have ever composed. No tricks or gimmicks this time kiddies, just good old fashioned, brass-knuckled rock. As always the lyrics are tight but the music arrangements are what really shine on this release. I hear elements of several of the previous records without being predictable, whether it be a singular sound or an entire riff, you can definitely tell Mr. Manson has not lost sight of the roots of his band. Eat Me Drink Me and High End of Low took some time to grow on me but Born Villain encapsulated me immediately and has me in a sonic stranglehold I cannot and will not escape. Let's speak of the tracks individually.

Hey, Cruel World - If there's one thing Manson has done consistently, its open each album with a great track. Born Villain is no exception. Hey, Cruel World is a great album opener. What starts as a simple sample and moves into a mild verse (much like many tracks on Eat Me, Drink Me) and then comes the hard hitting chorus, so reminiscent of The Suck For Your Solution and that era of Manson's arrangements. Great guitar riffs and a driving composition thrust you into the throws of Born Villain's Side 1.

No Reflection - The first official single from the album and another catchy, guitar-driven track that to me, is reminiscent of late 80's/early 90's rock (which I adore). The pounding beat is what first straps you in while the main guitar riff bolts in through the door of guitar noise and simultaneously punches you in the gut while entrancing you with a wicked smile.

I only have two artists I buy all their music, Marilyn Manson is one of them.
