Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)

[Us-&-Them]

Having just loaned a copy of this album, (as I did not know it was out until I saw Idlewithnodrive's post) I have to say that since Manson has had all the 5h1t going on with his lawsuits etc. I didn't know what to expect. I can now tell you that I think this album is REALLY GOOD!!!! If I had to define it, I'd say its a little like crossing Mechanical Animals album with The Pale Emporor album - the only difference (IMHO) being that the production isn't as good on this as it is on the other two (Mechanical Animals is an absolute CLASS ALBUM from start to finish and the Pale Emporor isn't too far behind but it cant compete with Mechanical Animals)!!!!!

I shall wait for the price to drop a little and will definitely purchase this to go alongside all of his other albums that I have (which is nearly every one that he's done except for 2). The only reason I haven't got those two missing ones is because I never got round to getting them........... that can easily be rectified!!!!

After loaning a copy of this album, (as I did not know it was out until I saw Idlewithnodrive's post) I have to say that I think this album is REALLY SO GOOD, I've just got to play it again (Sam)!!!!

I'd still say this album is like crossing Mechanical Animals album with The Pale Emporor album - the only difference (IMHO) being that the production isn't as good on this as it is on the other two (Mechanical Animals is an absolute CLASS ALBUM from start to finish and the Pale Emporor isn't too far behind but it cant compete with Mechanical Animals)!!!!! I'd even go as far as to say that I can hear a slight Grunge element in places aswell.

I shall still definitely wait for the price to drop a little (because I'm a tight fisted b45tard) and will definitely purchase this to go alongside all of his other albums that I have (which is nearly every one that he's done except for 2). The only reason I haven't got those two missing ones is because I never got round to getting them........... that can easily be rectified!!!!

Yeah I only paid a quid for it at a car boot - if I'd paid full whack I'd be gnashing, it's far from being my favourite Massive Attack album, but I thought I'd give it a second play. I'll give it a third go in another five years

Mostly agree, definitely a return to form. I loved everything up until "Eat Me, Drink Me" with "Anti-Christ Superstar", "Mechanical Animals" and "The Golden Age of Grotesque" sharing honours for best Album, depending on when you ask me. He lost his way a bit after that, imo, until this Album. It’s very decent.
