5.0 out of 5 starsManson's brilliant major label debut
By N. Durham HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on September 18, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Before "Antichrist Superstar" made Marilyn Manson a household name, this 1994 major label debut album was the beginning of he and his band invading mainstream America. After shortening the name of the band from Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids to just Marilyn Manson, they signed with Interscope Records and Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor produced this brilliant album; which showcases the social and moral decay of average Amercian family life. Song like "Organ Grinder", "Cake & Sodomy", "Dogma", "Get Your Gunn", "Sweet Tooth", "My Monkey", "Misery Machine", and the chilling "Lunchbox" are all thought provoking songs that really do make the listener think. Forget "Antichrist Superstar", "Mechanical Animals", and "Holy Wood", if there is one Marilyn Manson album to get, make it "Portrait of An American Family", and you will hear that the reason he is the man so many die hard Christian fanatics love to hate, is because he could be right about what he is saying.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe saga begins
By Eric Edelin on December 15, 2000
Format: Audio CD
Most of these songs were written by Marilyn Manson And The Spooky Kids, a long while back. Before The Fallen Angel, before Omega and the Mechanical Animals, before Adam and the revolution. These are songs which tell society as it is, while making fun of it. The bumpy ride beings on Prelude, a demented Willy Wonka rip-off. The singles: Lunchbox, and Get Your Gunn speak of a young boy being picked on and a woman suffering abuse from her husband. Other songs talk about how our youth will follow anything and the "average" family. It really is a Portrait Of An American Family. The strongest tracks are Lunchbox, Get Your Gunn, Dope Hat, and Misery Machine. If you want the glam of Mechanical Animals, or the industrial Hell of Antichrist Superstar, this album is NOT for you. This has a fresh and unique sound not duplicated on any other Manson album. This is truely where the saga began.

5.0 out of 5 starsMarilyn Monroe + Charles Manson = Brian Warner
By S. Kurosu on November 20, 2003
Format: Audio CD
Mariyln Manson is NOT for children under 13. But frankly who gives a good Goddamn!!! Manson is probably the World's best "Shock Rocker"! Here's how the Songs are
Prelude (The Family Trip) - Decent Instermental 2.5/5
Cake And Sodomy - Probably Manson's most explicit song, but Fu*king Awsome!!! 6/5
Lunchbox - A power anthem for kids being picked on at school, I like the saying "Next Motherfu*ker Gonna' Get My Metal!" 5/5
Organ Grinder - Funny/Sick lyrics, and very good Keyboard/synthysizer/Organ. Good job M.W. Gacy! 4.75/5
Cyclops - Just another ol' track, but catchy. Nice Guitar, Daisy Berkowitz's highlight! 4.5/5
Dope Hat - The most addictive on the album! If you see the video, you can see how it is a sick parody of Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. M.W. Gacy pulls through again! 6/5
Get Your Gunn - My 4th Favorite! Twiggy Ramirez's bass is impeccable! 5/5
Wrapped In Plastic - Not very catchy, but good lyrics 4.75/5
Dogma - Creepy, but Impossible not to sing along! 5/5
Sweet Tooth - Nice Saxaphone And Lyrics, this has more of a "Sadistic" aproach. 4.75/5
Snake Eyes And Sissies - KABOOM!!! Another Hit!!! Manson & Pals really can harmonize in a sick way. 5/5
My Monkey - Funny, but Mediocre Lyrics. I think this was origanally based on a Charles Manson song, give or take a few lyrics. 3/5
Misery Machine - Good way to end the album, for some reason theres a 6-7 minute silence period at the end making this song only about 5 minutes compared to 13 mins. 4/5
Overall this album Kicks...!!

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the favorites.
By Trina Kauf-Jones on July 23, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
-Arrived on time
-No damage

This is a very special album! It is the first official CD by Marilyn Manson and is very "fun" to listen to. As said by many people, the tracks in POAAF act as if to set a blue print for the future works that would be put out. Cake and Sodomy especially does a fine job to predict the future ideas of MM. The prominent parts of this album would be the heavy use of references through sound and word. i.e: Wrapped in Plastic making references to Twin Peaks with a recording of a scene from the show. In fact, the references to outside things is heavy... be that as it may, it does not have a negative impact on the music, but rather a positive one. I don't believe ever again has there been so many different things in reference during the later music of this band!

The lyrics in this album also have some of the strongest imagery I have been able to see when hearing music, including Manson's later work. This is on my list of Marilyn Manson's best albums.

Favorite tracks: Organ Grinder, Dope Hat, Wrapped in Plastic, Sweet Tooth, Snake Eyes and Sissies, and Misery Machine.

Least favorite: My Monkey-- because the song sounded.. bad. Too much of that twisted voice gives me a head ache.

When listening to this music you can feel the release of ideas, and it seems amazing that it manages to stay cohesive while coming so close to flying off the tracks into insanity. The metaphors are endless if you have the imagination for them, and after hearing this album a few times over, your initial imagination might actually grow from it.

Perhaps my favorite album. Back when the band was fun. It all went away about ten years later. Daisy Berkowitz is a stand out on the guitar. Read more
