Eh, I don't think Manson is qualified to hold the jock straps of Reznor or Maynard, both among the few popular music artists whom one could say have made genuinely profound art. Manson is closer to Rob Zombie, but I just like Zombie's aesthetic and, on the whole, his music better as well. Granted, I haven't heard much of Manson's recent music, but his old stuff was always extremely basic/standard industrial metal. Zombie was far more interesting in what he did with that genre early on (though a significant step below Reznor), and Tool practically invented their own genre, however much they started out as alternative rock/metal. I think if you're going to solicit your opinions you should be knowledgeable on the subject. I mentioned these artists because I'm very knowledgeable on all of their work. Manson has actually ventured into a lot of different musical directions over the course of his career, and his recent output since recruiting movie composer Tyler Bates as a co-writer has been really interesting and has gone in a far more alternative rock direction than the industrial nu-metal hits you may be familiar with. You should give his new stuff a try. I've heard everything NIN, Tool, and Zombie have released. I've heard everything Manson released up until The High End of Low. I'd consider that "knowledgeable on the subject," so perhaps cool it with the condescension. The last two Manson albums I heard were so bland I lost interest and haven't bothered with the last three. It would utterly shock me if the last three were so great it radically changed my opinion of him.

What have you got to lose? You'll even get to hear a collaboration with Rob Zombie on a Helter Skelter cover!

Seems like an interesting fellow. The fact that he makes good music is a bonus.
