Its not your outlet if you're looking for something just balls out hardcore like The Golden Age of Grotesque. Where The Golden Age of Grotesque was Manson's ego CD, Eat Me, Drink Me is its polar opposite. In this CD he opens up and just spills it. I'm having relationship trouble recently and this CD made so much more sense when I felt like my heart was torn out. I actually had to shut it off because I couldn't deal with the raw truth of it all. So amazing, I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in pure and true art.
