It's much better than his last two releases, which I know isn't saying much, but as a fan of his older stuff I really love it. It's darker, more industrial, he talks about religion/politics/fame/etc again instead of his break up, etc. I'll give you Parallax 2 because I know I'm mostly alone on this site in thinking that was a great release, but I gotta protect Marilyn Manson from being on a troll list like this.
