A ranting madman can be scary — but so can a whisper in a quiet house. Almost all effective music has a certain spooky quality (it’s no accident we speak of a catchy melody as being “haunting”), but self-consciously “scary” music is hard to pull off without turning into wretched self-parody (see the oeuvre of Brian “I’m the Devil! BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!” Warner, of the popular beat combo Marilyn Manson).

When he came out and said that The High End of Low was going to be a return to rock music after the last record, I guess I was expecting a little more of the rock than this. It's not him at the top of his game, but I don't think it's a bad record either. Unfortunately, I think it's time for another cover song because he hasn't released anything that's going to bring in new fans, that's for sure.

The Four Rusted Horses lick sounds almost exactly like the Personal Jesus riff...a song Manson already covered. Seems to be working now.
