− | + | "'''Four Rusted Horses'''" is the fourth track from [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s 2009 release ''[[The High End of Low]]''. Its title was revealed on March 10, 2009, in a MySpace blog entry by producer [[Sean Beavan]]. | |

− | A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes | + | A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes "Four Rusted Horses" as "Sounding like Seasick Steve, the track opens with an Americana-inspired acoustic guitar and foot-stomp. [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]]'s voice soon joins the ensemble – along with synth strings – reminiscent of '[[Coma White]]'. The track keeps you anticipating a massive chorus as the chorus bridge teases you with what we all love – huge searing soaring Manson screams and ma-hoo-sive guitars. The track builds from the bottom up, with layers being added and added, only to be stripped down again. Fucking, tease. Manson has always been good at autobiographical catharsis by spinning an extended metaphor (dare we say 'concept') It's less clear here what that might be, but the lyrics "Everyone will come to my funeral to make sure I'm dead" hint at a faux-persecution complex (though Manson's history of complex narrative, allegory and irony it'll be nearly impossible to tell until he tells us). Sadly the massive money-shot climax never happens and the track just fades into amp feedback and disappears. Sonically this is another step forward for Manson, but musically the song lacks the peaks we crave."<ref>[http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/uncategorized/marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-track-by-track/ Marilyn Manson 'High End Of Low' Album Track-By-Track]. ''Metal Hammer''. April 7, 2009.</ref> Reviewing for The Quietus, John Robb highlighted the song's "stripped down bluesy" acoustics, "pounding back beat" and "gutter poetry." Robb urged that "This is the one for the mobile phones to flicker in the night air," and went on to explain how the song reminded him of material from The Doors.<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/01639-marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-review Marilyn Manson's High End Of Low Reviewed Track-By-Track].
