{"product_id":"portrait-of-an-american-family","title":"Portrait Of An American Family","description":"Amazon.com Review\n\nEvery parent's nightmare and every teenager's dream band, Marilyn Manson take no prisoners on their blistering and brutal Trent Reznor-produced debut. Aiming to shock and rock simultaneously, Portrait scores high marks in both arenas. Manson and his grand grimoire take Alice Cooper's tongue-in-cheek mix of glam and death rock to the nth degree with their vision of youth gone wild, personified on cuts like \"Cake and Sodomy\" and \"Lunchbox,\" a schoolyard revenge fantasy gone horribly awry. One of the most original, hardest rocking albums recorded in the '90s, Portrait of an American Family is a hallmark of the industrial\/metal genre, but not for those who are easily offended. --Gail Worley\n\nProduct Description\n\nComing up screaming from the depths of Florida - there being no scarier state in the union - Marilyn Manson cannily positioned themselves as a goth-industrial hybrid on their debut album, Portrait of an American Family. At this stage in their evolution, Marilyn Manson was clearly a band, not just the project of Brian Warner, aka Mr. Manson, who would later simply adopt his band's name as his own. Also, horror-show schlock was a bigger factor than it would be later on, when he wanted to be the Antichrist Superstar for the world at large. In other words, it's Manson at his silliest, singing about \"My Monkey\" and \"Snake Eyes and Sissies.\" Nevertheless, beneath all the camp shock there are signs of Warner's unerring eye for genuine outrage and musical talent, particularly on the trio of \"Cake and Sodomy,\" \"Lunchbox,\" and \"Dope Hat.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000001Y5X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.B000001Y5X.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Marilyn Manson\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: CD Very Good - Case is in great condition.
