I might have to give this a try, I find his albums have been monotonous since Eat Me, Drink Me...the song writing is correct but the overall feel is just bland and the releases get boring too easily despite him having progressed as a songwriter as you've stated.
I feel Manson peaked with Mechanical Animals and he's struggled to find his way since between the mass produced era of Holywood and Golden Age of Grotesque and his later inspired but dull releases, he doesn't have much left to offer.
It's odd because he is still one of my most played artists but only through his first three albums and the Smells Like Children release, the rest I can live without.
