Landscape - From the Tea-Rooms of Mars... to the Hell Holes of Uranus
7/10
This is a good 80’s synth album that really shines in places, sadly though it is bogged down by a few patchy tracks that really show there age, ‘Face of the 80’s’ is an example of this, If you stick with the album though it surprises, One minute you can be listening to a track that you feel is dated and irrelevant and the next you can be blown away by a track that still feels fresh and catchy, so this album is a mixed bag really..but it still has a lot to offer if you enjoy this style of music.
Standout tracks – European Man, Shake the west awake, Einstein a Go Go, Doll’s House, Norman Bates
Marilyn Manson - Eat me, Drink Me
8/10
This album is a great return for Manson and I get a similar vibe from it as I do from Holywood but with a more personal twist (and due to this maybe more of a warped twist). I really liked the style of Manson’s last album ‘Golden Age of the Grotesque’ and I do miss that a little but the great thing about Manson is every album of his has its own unique identity. I am a fan of this album and I think I am only going to grow to like it more in time…
