Advantages: great super smashing fab!

Disadvantages: well none really

This is mansons breakthrough album and it's very good! I personally enjoy this one most so far as we are awaiting the new album in october!!! I think masnon shoould go back to this image its raw and well it's different and in a nutshell a better image than the omega caracter he created for mechanical animals but obviously thats just my opinion but music wise this album is very dark loud heavy and has some interesting links to charlie and the chocolate factory!! which do then continue in the next album smells like children, my personal favourite from this album is lunchbox which manson explains he wrote about when he was being hassled at school and to defend himself he used a metal kiss lunchbox!!, also get your gunn is a misinterprated song as the gunn part is apparantly not about a firearm it is in relation to a teacher who'surname was gunn!, so alot of school type aggression in this album from a young mr manson featured on the album cover wearing stripy green tights and a lip ring sitting in a shopping trolly!!!!!! but if you are looking for something a bit different or just wondering where to start with a manson collection I would advise to start here!!!! great album lets hope we hear more like it from mr manson and crew!
