Marilyn Manson

This EP consists of remixes taken from the band's Portrait Of An American Family album, alongside sound collages and cover songs, like the Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" (the video where Marilyn rides a pig). On this EP the band begins to cultivate their persona as evil, outrageous devil-worshipers.

Unmitigated consumer fraud--a mess of instrumentals, covers, and remixes designed to exploit its well-publicized tour, genderf*ck cover art, titillating titles, and parental warning label. The lyrics to "S****y Chicken Gang Bang" are nonexistent, those to "Everlasting C***sucker" incomprehensible. Only "F*** Frankie," a spoken-word number in which a female feigning sexual ecstasy reveals that it isn't "Fool Frankie" or "Fire Frankie" or "Fast Frankie" or for that matter "Fist Frankie," delivers what it promises. It's easily the best thing on the record. (Grade - D+)
