Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The impact of Marilyn Manson's subversive musical agenda has waned, and what's left is a provocative, talented artist writing affecting, powerful, and yes, controversial songs. Although Holy Wood is the third title of a trilogy that began with 1996's Antichrist Superstar, the album stands on its own. Rife with references to the Beatles and the Kennedys, and full of pop-culture barbs, Holy Wood is a musically diverse and powerful statement. The memorable sing-along 'Disposable Teens' boasts the same kind of staccato, Teutonic, first-thrusting power introduced with 'Beautiful People,' while 'Fight Song' is the Sex Pistols meets Blur by way of Nirvana. While a futuristic, nihilistic tint pervades Manson's work, passion is also prevalent, notably in the spooky acoustic number 'A Place in the Dirt' and the brutal 'Death Song.' Like Marilyn Manson the man, Holy Wood is intelligent, dynamic, and multifaceted, with myriad charms that are evident to the tuned-in listener. --Katherine Turman

- My Favorite Marilyn Manson Album!
This album has really made me happy! The songs are absolutely awesome! After "Mechanical Animals", Manson really wrote some great songs, including "The Fight Song", "The Death Song" and "Disposable Teens" etc. In fact, I would say that this is his best album and one of the greatest rock albums ever! This album is mainly about school shooting events that have been in USA. Marilyn Manson was accused by the media and goverment. Marilyn Manson made this album as a revenge. This album truly indicates how not-guilty Manson was for those shootings. The album itself has great riffs and melodies. I like every song except from "The Fall of Adam" which seems to be too short and meaningless song. Marilyn Manson may not be the greatest singer on Earth but his voice fits perfectly for these songs and make a scary feeling.
Stars: The Love Song, Disposable Teens, The Fight Song, The Death Song

- geez
Wow, Marilyn Manson actually has some listenable songs for once. That makes the album passable. Unfortunately he's not a very good songwriter or singer, and the guitar playing is VERY average too. No need to even buy this album because of how average it is for the most part. Just a couple (rather predictable) songwriting moments make a few of the songs tolerable. The obnoxious way the guitar riffs and vocals come across means I give the album a big "no thanks". No point going into detail for each song since they all sound the same anyway.

- Clasic
This is the MM that the public hates! Just my taste. It is much more enjoyable than his newest disk.

Rating:

- Couple of good songs
This album is like a giant CD single. It has a couple of great songs on it, obvious singles or just rockin album tracks, and the rest of it is a collection of throwaway B-sides. Whatever resonance Marilyn Manson musters up here is drawn from the misguided implications of his influence in the Colombine shootings, as well as his commentary on being a highly visible performer and media personality.

"Disposable Teens" really rocks and is a great track, depending on whether you like the somewhat standard glam stomp that it is. It's not exactly original as far as the rockage goes, but Manson's lyrics are interesting; he seems to be saying that the so-called "outrage" over the Colombine murders would be short-lived and disposable, used for a political boost by all parties who were not directly involved, and he was right.

The slower tracks become extremely monotonous, however. They all run together ... Read More
