I have a soft spot for Marilyn Manson. In interviews and on film he's proven himself to be a smart, witty individual who takes in stride typically laughable criticism. When critics cried "think of the children" in response to his outlandish, grotesque stage shows I thought about Alice Cooper who's just about as harmless as they come.

His latest release The High End of Low isn't awful. In fact, it might just grow on me. Pick it up if you're into musical Russian roulette.
