Marilyn Manson - Portrait Of An American Family - 2x LP Coloured Vinyl Record

PORTRAIT OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY, Debut studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. This was a Trent Reznor-produced debut, It was released on July 19, 1994, Sky Blue Marble Coloured Vinyl

Unofficial import reissue on colored vinyl, originally released in 1994 - Coming up screaming from the depths of Florida - there being no scarier state in the union - Marilyn Manson cannily positioned themselves as a goth-industrial hybrid on their debut album, Portrait of an American Family. At this stage in their evolution, Marilyn Manson was clearly a band, not just the project of Brian Warner, aka Mr. Manson, who would later simply adopt his band's name as his own. Also, horror-show schlock was a bigger factor than it would be later on, when he wanted to be the Antichrist Superstar for the world at large. In other words, it's Manson at his silliest, singing about "My Monkey" and "Snake Eyes and Sissies." Nevertheless, beneath all the camp shock there are signs of Warner's unerring eye for genuine outrage and musical talent, particularly on the trio of "Cake and Sodomy," "Lunchbox," and "Dope Hat.
