...while an 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...

One particular scene in which she carts a pregnant woman to the hospital in a shopping cart full of marshmallows (no, it doesn't make more sense when you actually see it) had me gawking in dumbfounded amazement at the brazen act of courage which it must have taken for the producers...
