Reviews

source	rating	comment
metal.de	8/10	"The album breathes the menace that is just in the subtlety of the songs"
laut.de	2/5 (editing) 4/5 (readers)	"The popcorn Mephisto is becoming more and more a joke"
Rolling Stone	3.5 / 5	"... sounds like a beach party on the River Styx"
musikexpress.de	2.5 / 6	"The Lord of Fuck is content with flower sex"
allmusic.com	4/5	"Taking their sound in a new, unforeseen bluesy direction accomplishes the near impossible by making Marilyn Manson sound even more sinister than before"
NME	6/10	"It's no classic, but perhaps the surprise here is that Manson's music can work without the shock shtick. Being a wicked voice in the wilderness, it turns out, quite suits him"
plattentests.de	7/10	"... new [r], undisguised [r] tendency towards melody and clarity"
drownedinsound.com	8/10	"Here he unleashes that side of his frayed character for the first time in about 14 years"
avclub.com	B +	"Marilyn Manson once again rises to relevance"
metacritic.com	71/100 (critic) 8/10 (user score)
