Mechanical Animals

[JimothyZombie]

I don't know what I was listening to, but whatever it was, Spotify kept generating plays from Mechanical Animals. I haven't really listened to the album since it came out but it was always one of my favourite Maonson albums. that opinion has not changed to this day. MA is the superior Manson album and everything else is just absolute trash.

Change my mind.

I'm a little edge lord still and want TGAoG on cassette. But it's expensive so I'll prolly just make a bootleg version lol. I won't argue that it's better than MA but I *like* it better

I typed that while listening to Lollipop by Aqua. SO cool!!!

[JimothyZombie]

I remember when that album dropped. I did no t dig. I think I listened to it maybe twice though.

Antichrist Superstar is king but Mechanical Animals is a close 2nd.

MA was that album i never got into untill i tried coke for the first time. it was like "wow, i get it now, even with the super compressed mixing, this is awesome"

[JimothyZombie]

Hmm may I need coke to see things from another perspective.

[nagoline]

it does that to you

[JimothyZombie]

I always felt the mixing was an intentionalnal stylistic thing. But also MP3 players were all the rage at the time hmm

[nagoline]

it was a big change for them because they changed producers. trent reznor was the producer before that and it shows. the following albums have the same over compressed mixing that sometimes works, others don't. for what it's worth, manson has made a huge comeback and his 2 latest albums are absolutely awesome

[JimothyZombie]

I've not heard them at all

[nagoline]

go for it

[JimothyZombie]

Alright! I'll do it right now You talked me into it.

[nagoline]

oh yeah

[JimothyZombie]

What are your top picks from Heaven Upside Down? At some point tomorrow I might even just take some time to chill out, like some sort of student and just lay on my bed and listen to the album. ATM I've got it on but I'm working and not really hearing it. It SOUNDS good though.

[nagoline]

all of it is good, but kill for me doesn't quite do it for me, maybe that's because i saw it live and found it boring, even though there were strippers during that song

[JimothyZombie]

>sees strippers
>contemplates that human reality is a process dominated by chemical reactions that produce emotional reactions that have no inherent value or meaning

[nagoline]

basically that. they had nice boobies though

[JimothyZombie]

I'm enjoying The Pale Emperor.

[nagoline]

both the pale emperor and heaven upside down were real surprises as in returning to form for the band, they're awesome
