So many Christians criticized and attacked him , but he saved many people and gave us a voice with his art and music, including me , the abused , the bullied , the ostracized ,the rejected ,the suicidal, those suffering from health issues or mental , no god ever helped me , it was people like Marilyn Manson who did !

Back in the day, I was in art college and I had a Symbolism in Art class, where I was allowed to chose whatever I wanted as my final presentation. I got my hands on the VHS of the collected music videos, and played this song in front of my whole class, then dissected the video to explain how it equated Catholic religious rituals with American Culture, referencing drug use as a mere facade for coping and surviving with a greater, systemic evil. I'm pretty sure I alienated a lot of people, but I felt so proud of my 18 year old self in that moment.

Mechanical Animals is possibly the most overlooked and underappreciated album of the '90s. Most people never got past "The Dope Show" and "I Don't Like the Drugs", but the entire album was impeccably produced, to a sheen really, by design. Every song exudes this plastic glam sound that perfectly evokes the themes of the album. Even it's packaging, in the aqua blue CD case was an important part of the package. It's only minor flaw might be that it's never very subtle, but that's just nitpicking. It didn't sound like anything else at the time, or anything after, and it's by far his best work. Holy Wood mined the same territory, but his star and influence had waned as a result of the bogus Columbine accusations, and that album become nothing so much as a soundtrack response to that event. Mechanical Animals is still endlessly listenable and filled with amazing hooks and riffs.
