| | Marilyn Manson Golden Age Of Grotesque CD (2003) Edited
Ventures Greatest Hits
$8.65 
"Mobscene" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
Marilyn Manson proudly wears his musical influences on his band's fifth studio album, where the perpetually androgynous singer and company continue their crusade of industrial rock outrage, making nods to forerunners while never losing that which is quintessentially Manson. "mOBSCENE," reeks of ANGEL DUST-era Faith No More. "Para Noir" offers a romantic agenda in grand Manson style, with little chance for radio edit status. "Better Of Two Evils" and "Your Fist And Not Your Mouth" rally with undeniable choruses while "This Is The New Shit" nails a Korn-inflected groove. The set's down-tempo title track is built around a haunting piano line, and "(s)AINT" deftly captures the Powerman 5000 style. The album track most likely to get extensive re-mixing is the incredibly catchy "Ka-boom Ka-boom." THE GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE drops yet another bomb on convention, and Marilyn Manson clearly planned it that way.
Timing is everything in pop music, and Marilyn Manson hit a zeitgeist in the mid-'90s with Antichrist Superstar, riding the post-alternative wave to the top of the charts with his dark, arty, industrial metal. He was a proud shock artist and a great interview, one of the few rockers of his time who stood his own against his attackers by offering articulate, informed counterarguments to their blustering rage. Like any shock rocker, though, the novelty wears thin fast, and what was once scary turns into self-parody. Manson, no stranger to rock history, attempted to circumvent this by turning quickly to the left with the glam-soaked Mechanical Animals, but in doing so he lost huge portions of his audience, and by the time he returned to scary industrial metal form on Holy Wood in 2000, he seemed out of date and few critics or fans paid attention. Three years later, he unleashed his fifth album, The Golden Age of Grotesque, and he still seemed out of step with the times, but there was a difference -- he sounded comfortable with that development. Also, by 2003, rock, particularly heavy metal, was in desperate need of artists with a grand vision and ambition, which Manson has in spades. After all, The Golden Age is designed to be a modern update of German art, ...
| | Young & Sexy Life Through One Speaker CD (2003)
Ventures Greatest Hits
$12.85
Lots of people make adult pop these days; precious few do it as well as Young and Sexy. Hailing from the dead center of the indie pop world in 2003, the Vancouver band follows up its remarkable debut, 2002's Stand Up for Your Mother, with an album that is remarkably just as good. Life Through One Speaker is everything the first album was (intelligent, catchy, emotional, inventive) and then some (epic, beautiful). The band sounds more at ease in the studio, and as a result the songs sound more relaxed and fuller. The extra coat of professional ...
| | Joey Stec Jimmy Miller Productions 1976-1979 CD (1976)
Ventures Greatest Hits
$16.45
Contains the complete JOEY STEC album (originally released in 1975) and bonus tracks recorded in 1977 and 1994. The 1994 tracks were the last recordings produced by Jimmy Miller before his death.
Jimmy Miller produced Joey Stec's terrific 1976 eponymous debut, so it's no surprise that the nine tracks that comprise Joey Stec provide the backbone for the 2004 compilation Jimmy Miller Productions 1976-1979. In addition to those nine songs, which are sequenced in a different order than they appeared on the original LP, there is a solid outtake from those sessions called "Back Again," a 1977 recording of "Turn Back the Pages," and two songs that Stec recorded with Miller in 1994, not long before the latter's untimely death that year. While the 1994 recordings don't necessarily fit comfortably among the rest of this work -- the clean, crisp, polished productions are quite a bit different from the warm, mellow '70s sound -- they're good songs, as are the other two songs that don't appear on Joey Stec. For diehard Stec fans -- and in the middle of the 2000s, there is likely no other kind -- that alone makes this worth picking up, and fans of the 1976 Joey Stec who haven't gotten around to getting it on CD may find this to be worthwhile, but for fans that have it and love the PopTones reissue, these four cuts aren't quite enough to justify purchasing this disc, since the best of these 13 songs are indeed the nine tunes that formed the finished ...
