Marilyn Manson perfectly embodied the spirit of the times with an antichrist superstar. With the dark and artistic industrial metal, she put post-alternative music at the top of the music charts. He is a proud visual artist, an artist who dared to face his opponent in that era and refute that arrogant era with his own composure and arguments. However, like other visual artists, music innovation began to dry up, which was followed by self-parody from frightening to poor. Manson tried to overcome the common problems of visual music by quickly jumping out of the music limitation full of magical elements in Mechanical Animals after years of performing in the field of rock music, but doing so also made him lose a large number of fans, so when he returned to the horrible industrial metal in The Holy Forest in 2000, Marilyn Manson seemed to be a little behind the times and could not win much attention. Three years later, he released his fifth album "Weird Golden Age" with his own development trend. At the same time, until 2003, rock music, especially heavy metal, badly needed an artist with noble image and great ambition, and Marilyn Manson was such an artist. After all, the Golden Age intends to reinterpret the charm of German art, music art and Hollywood 30 in the 1930s, and give it modern significance [align=left] to keep up with the trend of the times.

Musically, Manson has not abandoned their most essential musical features-he still insists on the most fundamental musical elements in The Holy Forest-but this album made by himself for the first time is superficial and light, although the music is still shrouded in distortion and roar. It feels as if Manson has been freed from constant attention and his music has become more extroverted. This new free space also makes him sometimes seem a little confused and ridiculous-for example, the meaningless voice in "This is the new Sh(i)t", the borrowing of "Be Aggressive" by Faith No More in "Mobscene", and the lyrics of "You are a church/I am a minaret/when we fuck we are God's people"-but these have not defiled this album in other ways. The problem now is that in Marilyn Manson's previous albums, the concept of outline was always reflected. However, there is a certain theme in The Grotesque Golden Age, but there is no distinction this time, although there will still be a strong resonance from the overall feeling of the album. Manson's chaotic, outrageous and noisy performance may suffer some setbacks. The positioning of his music this time is awkward, so he can't get up or down. Manson is not what he used to be-he doesn't sound very serious and his voice is too stiff in the album. But on the whole, it can still be regarded as an excellent album-it may not be Manson's best album, but it is definitely not enough for an album that everyone pays attention to. But the grand momentum created by the album is overwhelming all Manson's peers, not worse than his previous albums. There is also a little humor in the golden age, which adds a lot of color to the album [align=left].
