Editorial Review:
Marilyn Manson started out as a depraved, marginally talented group of freaks that played a caustic but undeveloped brand of metallic industrial noise. Then Trent Reznor stepped into the studio for seven months with the band, and Manson emerged with the most intense, visceral, mechanical metal album since The Downward Spiral. Antichrist Superstar is a horror-house of grisly atrocities that stains as indelibly as a bathful of warm blood. Brooding rhythms collide with corrosive samples and buzzsaw guitar riffs, while vocalist Marilyn croons irresistible melodies in the voice of a vagrant regurgitating broken light-bulb shards. Essential listening, regardless of how much input Reznor had. --Jon Wiederhorn

Marilyn Manson's 1996 release titled "Antichrist Superstar" was a breath of fresh air for the metal community and was the album that put Marilyn Manson on the map. "Antichrist superstar" was one of the albums that helped keep metal alive at the end of the grunge movement and the beginning of Nu-Metal but at that time Heavy Metal was beginning to get really cheezy with bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit emerging on the scene. With "Antichrist Superstar" Marilyn Manson brought the evil back into Heavy Metal and at the same time became the the most controversial figure of the 1990's. I believe that "Antichrist Superstar is one of the best albums in the 1990's and the album actually reached up to #3 in the top billboard charts. This album is a must for any Manson fan and should not be passed up. Out of all of Manson's albums this is still (and will always be) his crowning achievement. I would recommend this album to any Heavy Metal fan and those who like dark horror-like music that would make your christian mother worry.
BUY THIS ALBUM!!...you won't regret it!!
Way overated!!! 
2008-05-30 - I'll admit, I bought into the hype and bought this disc.
I like Beautiful People but that's about it.
The rest of the cd is boring computer noises.
No thanks. Too much electronic and no heart.
Skip this one and go with Mechanical Animals.
Electronics with a heart.
The Magic Behind The Make Up
2008-03-27 - Marilyn manson was one of the most iconic figures of the 90s, and while many will put this purely down to eccentric dress sense and disturbing urban myths, I strongly believe that it is because he had some of the most shocking, disturbing and ultimately, the most insightful statements that music has ever seen. This is definately the record that proves this. Antichrist superstar is a concept album that looks at religion and the media from a highly disturbing (But not untruthful) perspective. it is a record that requires hard thinking to understand. So, open your mind people, it is time to unleash the genius behind the make up!
Fitst of all, Marilyn Manson the person. It pisses me off when people over look the contributions that his band had to his success, and I'll come to the music in a minute. But to me, on this album, it really is the frontman that stands out on this. First of all, lyrically Manson is an undisputed genius. Based on his own dreams and visions, this talented linguist manages to tell his twisted tale using highly imaginative mataphors and wordplay. Secondly, vocally. Manson is no gifted singer; a fact proven on his latest record "Eat Me Drink Me". Yet I can tell you for sure, that this is a spectacular vocal performance. This is due to the fact that it is not a vocal performance, but a vocal expression. From his uncontrollable anger shown on "little horn" and "The Reflecting God", to the eerie whispers of "The Beautiful people", To the highly emotional cries on "Man that You Fear", manson remains highly convincing throughout the record, and delivers a performance that only he could ever pull off.
Now, to the band. It was already a known fact that this band were No Led Zeppelin musically before this release. And granted, had the guitars been made to sound clearer and slicker, this album would have sounded a fair bit sharper than it does. However, musical talent isn't everything, and main musical composer Twiggy Ramirez broadened his mind particularly on this record, and the result is an industrial metal sound that is easily as musically competent as the music of their peers, The Nine inch nails. What also imperssed me was the interesting chemistry of synthesisers used by keyboardist M.W Gacy. This is something that really makes songs like "Deformography" what they are. So, a brilliant musical performance, and like I've said said, the vocals on the abum make it sound ten times better.
So there you have it, a masterpiece that is often overlooked. If you are reading this review in search of deep music, then look no further. This is as deep as you can go. And, Even if it's not your cup of tea, the intelligence behind this record is completely undeniable.
One of the best rock albums...period
2007-12-26 - Let me begin by saying that I don't listen to much hard rock, metal, or grunge. In fact, other than Nine Inch Nails, Manson is the only one in the genre I listen to. So, things might seem biased since I am not too familiar with some of the best metal/rock albums out there.
Still, "Antichrist Superstar" is one of the best albums I've ever heard in my life. I bought it some time in 2002 but really didn't dive into it until a few years ago. Needless to say, I felt a bit behind. But I digress. Every single track on this record is fantastic, catchy, and worth the listen. I usually grow tired of listening to albums from top to bottom- but this is one album I can listen to all the way through without skipping a track.
Most people in my life are surprised that I listen to Marilyn Manson, basically because I don't fit their own stereotypes on what a Manson listener is. I rarely defend myself to them because they just won't understand it if they didn't already. Manson's simple title is "shock rocker", but any avid listener knows that he is one of the world's best spokesmen, theorists, and musicians. He's had some amazing albums, but there's no denying that "Antichrist Superstar" is his gem and it always will be. So, if you're one of those people like myself who missed this glorious era of his over 10 years ago, do yourself a favor and experience this record. It will change your life. And much to the surprise of some of society's idiots, you'll still be a decent human being who has a heart and doesn't worship Satan.
This Album needs a Trillion Stars!
