Reviews
"...The epic glam rock of MECHANICAL ANIMALS is drenched in evil overtones and possesses a power and complexity that drowns out the roar of knee-jerk press hype...", 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...Its ultimate sources are the goths: Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, and early Cure...it gets its cavelike spaciousness from these influences and tweaks them with an industrial crunch, an arena-rock guitar solo or a soulful backing vocal...", "...there is something deeply outrageous about MECHANICAL ALBUMS: It's a Manson album that delivers on music as much as on image.... Looking back in mascara'd anger, Manson and Beinhorn have fashioned music steeped in glam rock and concept-album bombast but updated with a crunching intensity..." - Rating: A-, "...there is something deeply outrageous about MECHANICAL ALBUMS: It's a Manson album that delivers on music as much as on image....Looking back in mascara'd anger, Manson and Beinhorn have fashioned music steeped in glam rock and concept-album bombast but updated with a crunching intensity..." - Rating: A-, Ranked #7 on Spin's list of "Top 20 Albums of '98."
