Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Mostly a collection of remixed tracks from Portrait of an American Family and samples swiped from talk-radio dialogue, Smells Like Children is how Marilyn Manson passed the time prior to beginning work on Antichrist Superstar. Of note among the remixes is Tony Wiggins's acoustic country "White Trash" version of "Cake and Sodomy." This is really a keeper, though, for Manson's clever choice of covers, including an authentically creepy interpretation of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" and the shot-in-the-arm he gives to Patti Smith's "outside of society" anthem, "Rock 'N' Roll Nigger." (Attention trivia buffs: Manson's unrestrained reworking of Howling Wolf's "I Put a Spell on You" was later included on the soundtrack to David Lynch's Lost Highway.) --Gail Worley

4.0 out of 5 stars Manson - Devil or God, November 23, 2004

I am so sick of everybody talking trash on Manson. I don't really even go for his type of music (I'm more Pearl Jam type). But I'm sick of everyone bashing him and making him out the be the Devil. He's not a diety. He's a guy who found a nook in the music industry to take over and he's making a ton of money at it and not to mention he's having tons of fun. He is not a horrible person like a lot of people think, he is VEY smart, calm, collected, giving (did you know he gives to charity?), thoughtfull. He makes his music because its fun and it sells. He's not making his music to incite little children to go out and start killing people or small animals. Its just the the people who kill the small animals are attracted to his music. So stop it with the bashing and just buy the CD. Its a classic Manson release. All in all I gave it 4 stars. But heonly lost the last star because he is not my favorite singer because of the type of music he sings. But that didn't stop me from loving this CD.

If you aren't a really big Marilyn Manson fan- don't get this. Its just mainly a bunch of remixes, covers, and some audio. I, myself quite enjoy this... Some musts of this Album are "Sweet Dreams" and "rock and roll nigger", the audio is quite interesting and funny... especially "F*** Frankie". (some might find it apalling, I find it kind of kinky in a way... XD) The remix of Cake and Sodomy by T. Higgins is hilarious, but not quite to the flavor of Manson's stuff. If you're deciding between this CD and another you really want- get the other one, but if you just want to spend some money or is looking for a good laugh, Smells Like Children won't hurt. ;)
