Now a sixth-grader, Sarah has a formidable collection of lip gloss, nail polish and eye glitter (the only makeup her mother allows her to wear). Yet even she believes there should be limits: she would never wear some of Britney's more daring attire, she says, because "there's a difference between looking cool and looking like a slut...

...undeniably solid album, Holy Wood is far too reminiscent of Antichrist Superstar. This is especially obvious in the syncopated, headbanger beat of current single "Disposable Teens," a near mirror-image of "The Beautiful People." Rather than reinvent his band a third time, Manson has instead chosen to tweak and polish that former album's brand of Gothic-flavored industrial riffage. Holy Wood's ultimate downfall is its refusal to take risks; as such, it's an anticlimactic conclusion to an interesting cycle. B- -Ryan...
