If anybody thinks he really is just a garbage shock rock artist getting by on a gimmick, I'd really suggest giving The Pale Emperor a listen. Don't get me wrong, it's not anything brand new or super impressive, but it's definitely a big change from his older work, and his experimentation with the bluesier side of rock music definitely added some serious longevity to his career imo.
