Look at my ooky and oh-so-freaky antics on stage and video!
Look at me, damn it!

Description:
Marilyn Manson's The Golden Age of Grotesque was inspired, in part at least, by the seamy underside of Weimar Berlin, circa 1930. The album is constructed along the lines of Alice Cooper's 1975 gem, Welcome to My Nightmare, dipping in to the same cabaret of Cooper's "Some Folks." Unlike Cooper, however, this is no comic nightmare. "This isn't a show / This is my fucking life / I'm not ashamed / You're entertained," Manson snarls in "Vodevil," making it abundantly clear that the singer was born in the wrong time and place and is more at home among the absinthe-drinking revellers in pre-Nazi Germany.

Marilyn Manson: All Albums Ranked Best to Worst! (9 music items)
"This was the album that resulted in John5 and Madonna Wayne Gacy, who were long-time band members, quitting afterwards...and you can see why. This is the album where they really started becoming caricatures of their earlier selves. In my opinion, they were trying to recapture their original success by emulating their older selves, but it just comes off as being phoned in almost. The singles on this album are catchy at least, but the rest of the songs on here are mostly forgettable."
