I loved the shit out of Portrait of an American Family back in the day. I owned several copies because friends would borrow it and I couldn't do without it so I'd buy a new one. Great driving around and having a blast with your friends album, a fun roller coaster ride. It was just really fresh to me at the time. Maybe not as much now. One of the first shows I saw, couldn't have been more than 200 people in the small venue. Antichrist Superstar was pretty good but totally lost the raw edge of the first one. It's not nearly as nostalgic for me as the debut. After that I've only heard Mechanical Animals which was mostly meh.
