Marilyn Manson will always stand for "every parent's nightmare" and "every government's and religion's enemy" (Wikipedia) but he deserves all the credit because, especially with this album, he put all his time and effort into the creation of what is simply a masterpiece.

Released when nu-metal was all the rage back in 2000, this album is one of the definitive hard rock/metal albums to be released in the last 10 years and is full of beautiful imagery in the excellent songwriting. A band, who came from 'Antichrist Superstar' and 'Mechanical Animals', really excels with this album especially on 'The Nobodies', 'The Love Song' & 'Disposable Teens'. But it is the hidden gems that shine through like 'The Death Song', 'Lamb Of God' & 'Target Audience'.

If you want an album that is more than just hard rock and has more to offer then this is the album and definitely worth buying because you will not be disappointed. This is Marilyn Manson at his rawest, best and most poetic and easily his best ever album alongside 'Mechanical Animals'.
