Seems like he thought he was going to die at some point around MA, and get immortalized into John Lennon or Kurt Cobain.

Then it seems like around EM,DM he thought he would gain weight and overdose on drugs and become Elvis.

Instead he lived, and is becoming Yoko Ono.

What comes next who knows...

You can still hear alot of the Fragile in alot of the stuff off of Hesitation Marks. Way more than Witha Teetha and Year Zero.

While he is definitely mellowing out (as he should be) the mixing/production/sound-design are still as good as ever.

Holy Wood felt like a retreat to his comfort zone, and although the music itself was fine, it was the album that made me realize MA was the last time he'd try to surprise anyone.

For me, it was watching "Disposable Teens" on Much Loud. That is the exact moment I checked out.

Both the guitar riffs and the video just seemed a complete and utter rehash.

Also his singles always had me searching through abstract interpretation. Beautiful People, Tourniquet, Dope Show.. people always found similar yet different meanings. I could tolerate the blatant I Don't Like The Drugs just because it was him as this Bowie-esque fantasy character (plus a fun song). But Disposable Teens? It just seemed so.. pandering. Almost nu-metal lyrically, carefully packaged for angry 14-year-old boys. I mean perhaps that's what he was doing all along, but at least he hid it under a lot of clever abstraction up to that point.

god's revenge on Marilyn Manson was making him into everything he hated 20 years ago

He's become a fat angry bully millionaire who attends fashion shows in expensive suits.

What's next? He "parodies" corporate greed by buying stock in ExxonMobil?

And by a Canadian no less. He must have really pissed him off.

I wonder if it's that same fat shirtless Canadian that knocked out Shia Labeuf.

Also - The Seven Day Binge video looks like Nicholas Cage screen-testing as the joker.
