New Manson album offers good snooze ■*
MARILYN from page 8
lems. Apparently a young lady just
used him for sex until someone better
came along and then she hit die road.
Poor spaceman.
After listening to the entire album
the coma pill I saw when I first
opened the album seemed surprising
ly appealing. Appropriately enough
the album ends with a song called
“Coma White,” which, like the album
opener, is another Bowie-esque
moody space ride. The song drags
throughout its entire five minutes and
is little more than a boring exercise in
lyrical-loneliness.
Overall, the 14 tracks on the
album are repetitive and, for the most
part, unoriginal. While most of the
songs combine a number of melodic
sound effects and other musical ele
ments, the same elements keep pop
ping up in every track. The same
high-pitched synthesized piano sound
that ends Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” is
repeatedly sprinkled throughout the
album and becomes very clich6 after
struggling to stay attentive for the
hour-long duration of the disk.
The end result is a boring attempt
by Manson to adapt his style to better*
suit the same star-crazed society he so
detests. The musical aspect of the
album seem intense and complex but
are really just an overuse and abuse of
the same sounds and structures. For
the most part, the lyrics are the same
as on previous Manson works, though
sung with a different spaceman flair.
Overall “Mechanical Animals” is,
as his song “New Model No. 15” sug
gests, “Pitifully predictable.”
Poor spaceman.
