Amazon.com: Mostly a collection of remixed tracks from Portrait of an American Family and samples swiped from talk-radio dialogue, Smells Like Children is how Marilyn Manson passed the time prior to beginning work on Antichrist Superstar. Of note among the remixes is Tony Wiggins's acoustic country 'White Trash' version of 'Cake and Sodomy.' This is really a keeper, though, for Manson's clever choice of covers, including an authentically creepy interpretation of Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams' and the shot-in-the-arm he gives to Patti Smith's 'outside of society' anthem, 'Rock 'N' Roll Nigger.' (Attention trivia buffs: Manson's unrestrained reworking of Howling Wolf's 'I Put a Spell on You' was later included on the soundtrack to David Lynch's Lost Highway.) --Gail Worley

this is one of the most excellent remix albums out there. I wouldn't even give Portrait five stars but how this albums warp the songs into a darker tune, the sadistic f*ck frankie track, and the two covers are nearly as perfect as covers can get - i'd actually buy this one over portrait if I hadn't purchased both. its obvious how sweet dreams put manson on the spot!
Rating: - A Manson fan but not a fan of this album.
Okay, so this EP (Hey, everyone! It's not a CD, it's an EP. Hence the big "[EP]" symbol located directly across from the title) is definitely not Manson's best. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is probably the only decent song on this EP, but like it was stated before, this EP was most likely only created to buy Manson some time between LP releases ("Portrait of an American Family" and "Antichrist Superstar"). So you have to give him some credit for trying to keep his name alive. I definitely wouldn't suggest this CD to those who are newer to Manson and are searching for a good album of his though.
And just one thing to those kids who are clogging up this board with their insignificant reviews and inability to execute any type of intelligible articulation: Just because someone listens to Marilyn Manson doesn't automatically mean that they are "goth" or a "poser". I have all of Manson's CD's and I do ... Read More
