Marilyn Manson's "edgy" gallery show in Florida has ended, so it's time for him to return to his attempts to shock the world through his music. "Heart Shaped Glasses" is the first single from Eat Me, Drink Me, and honestly, it's not bad—especially if you ignore Manson's adolescent innuendos and two-"note" vocal range and instead focus on the glam-goth music that's backing him:

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. This song is awful. It sounds like Elmer Fudd trying to sing Brit pop.
Yeah, I'm typically charitable toward MM's work, but this makes me feel a little embarassed for him.
This photo is a reminder that no matter how lame some of the guys I've dated have been, it could always be much, much worse.
That having been said, I've always found Marilyn to be witty and somewhat charming when he appears on television shows like Dinner for Five.
I'm not loving the new song, though.
Isn't this the rule of thumb for all of his music? I mean, I literally wrote every paper I had in college with Antichrist Superstar on repeat, but I never paid any attention to the lyrics.Ok, these lyrics are comedy gold...
"Don't break,
Don't break my heart,
and I won't break your heart shaped glasses."
Didn't Marilyn Manson just go thru a breakup? Poor guy.
So much for naming my first-born John 6.
Too bad "Hollywood Squares" isn't around any more...he'd be perfect...
@Jupiter8: maybe he could be one of those things that hold up briefcases while people yell at them.
I agree with you idolator guys. the best part of this is the music ESPECIALLY the drumbeat and guitars.
This song is beyond horrible, like Manson singing over some terrible Killers track. It really is a toss up whether the music or the lyrics are worse. Either way, nobody wins.
"Heart Shaped Glasses" obviously refers to the film version of 'Lolita,' as well as old man Brian's new relationship with the young Rachel Evan Wood (who has also been photographed in heart spex).
Given the 'quality' of the track, Brian should have entitled it "Fart Shaped Asses."
Yikes. This gives a whole new meaning to "The Dope Show."
.....You know, I clicked the link thinking Manson was one of the few still making it big with big guitars. WTF? They must have upped his meds. Sad.
I can't believe I'm going to have to sit through this to get some Slayer.
@Jupiter8: It's just about time for the inevitable Talk Show Host phase. Like Donahue, but with clown makeup.
you people don't know anything about marilyn manson, how the industry works, or life.. the song is awesome.. it's melodic, intoxicating, inviting.. and darkly sweet... not to mention a great single that will get new fans, please old fans, and please the record company... everyone wins.. brilliantly done.
