According to the sainted Manson this his fifth album, is heavily influenced by Weimar cabaret. It's hard to see how, frankly, given that The Golden Age Of Grotesque seems to be his regular mélange of jackboot glam and electrometal spiced up with those endearingly juvenile stabs at pretension and subversion. As usual, it's daftly enjoyable, with "mOBSCENE" and its cheerleader chant of "Be obscene" proving once again Manson's knack for the great pop single. Predictably, too, it goes on a bit: 1998's Bowie fantasy, Mechanical Animals, remains the gothic huckster's zenith.
