Here it is. Main points:
Manson is better known for sulking (and sacrilege) than strutting, but here his AC/DC colors shine through. "They Say That Hell's Not Hot," for example, features jangly guitars and a swaggering, midtempo beat. The chorus to "Putting Holes in Happiness," perhaps the record's most brilliant idea, combines a fist-pumping guitar riff with subdued, angry vocals.
...
Longtime fans need not worry, though; there's something for everyone. "If I Was Your Vampire" represents Manson at his darkest and most overdramatic ("I love you so much you must kill me now"), where "Are You the Rabbit?," with its cartoon-sludge-metal vibe via super-fuzzy guitars, sounds like it's from 1994's Portrait of an American Family. The ill-titled "Mutilation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery" has some of the vaudevillian stylings one finds on The Golden Age of Grotesque.
...
Marilyn Manson will never again seem as threatening as he did a decade ago. But he's put out an entire catalog of worthwhile material, and Eat Me, Drink Me only adds to his legacy.
