Was anybody else surprised that Marilyn Manson did ALL the vocals on this album?? I listen to the "prick your finger" part on Cryptorchid and I can't fathom how he edited that so much.
I give it 5 stars.

I'm listening to Cryptorchid JUST FOR YOU, JoS!
I hear nothing special in these vocals. He appears to be singing through a vocoder, that's all. You could do it with a MicroKorg for a few hundred dollars.
Didn't this album come out like 15 years ago? I remember listening to it in high school
1999 apparently, Ninja.
1. Awesome
2. Really?? Never heard of that.

Huh, I've never heard of this, but I suddenly want one.
Yeah, but it's still pretty badass and I just torrented it (I do plan on buying it, though) and I've been listening to it a lot.
I respect Manson for two reasons: in one interview he flat out admits that he does everything for the money, and when Bill O'Reilly interviewed him, Manson looked so sane and normal (even scoffing off his vanity title as a Priest in the Church of Satan).
His music isn't terrible, but some of it is a bit pandering ("Heart-Shaped Glasses").
I've been getting into his music a lot recently. Mostly inspired by my new-found love of industrial music. I loved the interview with O'Reilly (Marilyn Manson's side, O'Reilly is a dick). Pandering is alright, and sometimes fun to listen to. I bet you'd hate Mindless Self Indulgence.
Actually, I enjoy MSI just because their style is so unique. It's like video game music on ecstasy or something.
I love their use of synth. And also their style, how they really don't have any kind of specific genre to them. It's like industrial, metal, synth, punk, immature, electronic everything. I actually started listening to Marilyn Manson because of them. I put it in on Pandora (the first time I heard of Pandora, I was testing it out, I really don't like it) and the next artist it gave me was Manson and I kinda liked him.
I thought the song Devour which he put on his newest album was pretty good.
