  1. 10.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Something approaching the "stunning return to form" of rock-crit cliché

  2. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    You cannot deny Manson’s ability to deliver the gothic goodies time after time
    Read Review

  3. 6.0 |   NME

    There’s just a lack of magic, a lack of something special going on. It’s not bad. It’s not good
    Read Review

  4. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    The album reverberates with the heavy clank of ‘80s proto-industrial outfits like Killing Joke and Ministry

  5. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Manson is reverting to his roots as a means for survival, not progress

  6. 5.0 |   FasterLouder

    Whilst there are enough moments on this record to make it worthy of a few spins, it seems like ultimately Marilyn Manson has had enough

  7. 4.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Like those other contentious reactionaries Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, Marilyn Manson is no longer a figure of hatred but a figure of pity

  8. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    A garish and empty symbol of his rock star status. It’s not brutal and it’s definitely not villainous

  9. 4.0 |   The Skinny

    Second-hand riffs, unintentionally camp vocals and sampled drum hits
    Read Review

  10. 4.0 |   The Arts Desk

    As a general rule, when the singer is adopting his strangled David Bowie imitation and the bass is leading, all is well, but when he steps into death metal growling and the bludgeoning guitars arrive, things grow more predictable

  11. 2.0 |   The Independent

    It's striking how static Manson's career has been: he started out hating pretty much everything, and stayed that way

‘The Bad Fire’ might not cure your January blues entirely but it’ll at least provide a glimmer of hope to get you through the bleakest of months. All in all, an utterly enthralling 11th studio effort from these avant rock stalwart Clash

Rose Gray  Louder, Please

The up-and-coming British artist shines on her vibrant, hedonistic debut album musicOMH

FKA Twigs  Eusexua

Twigs’ third album brings club music into her sensual, supernatural world. It’s a masterful pop-star moment for the artist Pitchfork
