Then Trent Reznor stepped into the studio for seven months with the band, and Manson emerged with the most intense, visceral, mechanical metal album since The Downward Spiral. Antichrist Superstar is a horror-house of grisly atrocities that stains as indelibly as a bathful of warm blood. Brooding rhythms collide with corrosive samples and buzzsaw guitar riffs, while vocalist Marilyn croons irresistible melodies in the voice of a vagrant regurgitating broken light-bulb shards. Essential listening, regardless of how much input Reznor had. --Jon Wiederhorn... (more)(less)

"Marilyn Manson was huge when I made my first BMG order. I wanted to figure out what was so great about him, which is why I bought 3 of the albums from the catalog.
As a whole, I'll go ahead and swallow my pride and admit, Antichrist Superstar is his best album and a work of genius if you look at it without being offended. I will praise Trent Reznor's production for pulling the best out of Manson's ideas.
There is one slight difference from the BMG version. Yes, mine did have the sleeve jacket"
"Your world is an ashtray
We burn and coil like cigarettes
The more you cry your ashes turn to mud
It's the nature of the leeches, the virgin's
Feeling cheated
You've only spent a second of your life
My world is unaffected, there is an exit here
I say it is and then it's true,
There is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
You'll understand when I'm dead
I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me
Saw heaven and hell were lies
When I'm god everyone dies
Scar/can you feel "

"Day 05 - A song that reminds me of someone
Note: Actually, I'm not a big fan of Marilyn Manson but back in France, I had a gothic (girl)friend who was a huge fan of him."

"Day 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument
I don't like this song, but a friend taught me the bassline one day and so I know how to play it. Which isn't saying much because it's ridiculously simple."

"I got into Manson when they opened for NIN in 1994 on the self-destruct tour. I loved their debut, as well as the Smells Like Children remix album that followed it. I was so impressed by what I'd heard so far that I was buying live bootlegs too. So when this album came out, I went to a midnight sale to get it...
And I hated it, for the most part. There were maybe 4 songs I thought were really good, but the rest sounded like they were just ripping off NIN to gain popularity (strange considering "
"Release year: 1996
Important because: If I have to pick one Manson album to be my favorite album, it would be Antichrist Superstar. It's hard to explain. The album brings back loads of memories. And since MM has had a great impact on me, this would also have to be one of my favorite albums."
"Song: Man That You Fear
Lyrics:
"I was born into this
everything turns to shit.
The boy that you loved is the man that you fear.
Pray until your number,
asleep from all your pain,
Your apple has been rotting
Tomorrow's turned up dead
I have it all and i have no choice but to
i'll make everyone pay and you will see
you can kill yourself now,
because you're dead in my mind.""
