The High End of Low is Marilyn Manson's seventh studio album. It was released on May 20, 2009 in Japan, before being issued worldwide the following week, on May 26, 2009 by Interscope Records. The album was recorded in East Hollywood through late 2008 and January 2009 by Marilyn Manson, Twiggy and Chris Vrenna; former live guitarist Wes Borland also confirmed submitting four compositions to the band, which did not make the album.[1] Sean Beavan, who was responsible for mixing the band's Mechanical Animals and Eat Me, Drink Me albums, acted as co-producer for The High End of Low. Following the release of The High End of Low, which debuted at number four on the Billboard 200,[2] Marilyn Manson resumed touring.
According to Manson The High End of Low is about having his "soul trampled on by women" but is also something that "makes you laugh." Manson claimed in an interview with Revolver that the album "wipes the floor with everything we've done before" citing it's "guitar solos and brutal, reckless screaming" and lyrics which he described as "relationship-destroying statements. Some of it is stuff I should have said to my ex-wife. Some are things I've never said to the world." It has currently spawned the singles "We're from America" and "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon".

Background information
Production
Initially Manson revealed the recording session's for the band's seventh album would take place between March and May 2008, that two Eat Me, Drink Me b-sides may be included, and that he would again be working with Tim Skold, as well as Slayer's Kerry King and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner on the album; a demo of one song was also recorded during the tour (the song did not make the album), with Manson filling notebooks ideas for other potential lyrics and tracks. Also rumoured was a collaboration with James Iha, although this was never officially confirmed[3].
In December 2007 Tim Skold had departed from the band, due to the return of former bassist Twiggy Ramirez, who re-christened himself "Twiggy", dropping the serial killer surname. The reunion was announced in January 2008. Coincident with the announcement, Manson gave an exclusive interview to now defunct fansite The Heirophant, in which he revealed plans to record an album with Twiggy and Vrenna after the Rape of the World tour ended.
In a February 2008 interview with Steppin' Out, Manson described the new album as, "very ruthless, very heavy, and very violent."
On October 19, 2008, Manson and Twiggy announced at the 2008 Scream Awards' after party that the album would "sound more like Antichrist Superstar" and that the recording sessions are "pretty much done." It was also revealed that live guitarist Wes Borland would remain with the band while they toured in support of the record, something which did not materialize. In an interview with Spinner.com released the following day, Manson put forth an explanation of Twiggy's experience working on the album: "This record is the record we always wanted to make and [Twiggy] is writing from a point of view that I've always written from lyrically. I don't think earlier on he had the opportunity to be damaged, and his soul to be trampled on by women as much as me. So now that his penis has been cut off metaphorically, and been smashed into fucking Sloppy Joe's, someone shit on his heart a thousand times, we tried to put a musical face to that." A statement by Manson that the band were considering releasing a song before the end of the year implied that the album was unlikely to be released in winter 2008, contrary to Manson's announcement in May of that year.
In December 2008, Manson revealed the sonic qualities of three tracks. One was said to feature "a coven of witchy girls," the other "acoustic swampiness that harkens back to when [he] was living in New Orleans," and the song Manson plays guitar on also features him "snorting something — whatever it might have been" as a percussive instrument.
On January 2, 2009, Manson finalized the album's title,[4] and approximately a month later, on February 2, 2009 the record was revealed through Rolling Stone's online Smoking Section to be called The High End of Low. Also in the same news piece, Manson revealed that a music video would be produced for the nine-minute "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies". Rudy Coby confirmed via his Facebook page that the single had been switched to "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" at the insistence of Marilyn Manson's label, Interscope Records.
On March 10, 2009, a blog entry by producer Sean Beavan confirmed two additional titles, "15" and the rumored "Four Rusted Horses".
In a March interview with Kerrang!, Manson revealed that The High End of Low contains 15 songs, "15" being its closing track. He also claimed that the fourteenth track Into The Fire is a "glorious epic" which Twiggy would be most memorable for as a guitarist. Manson also explained that the songs on the album are listed by the order they were written and recorded. He also revealed the title of another song, "We're from America", which was made available for free download through the band's website on March 27, 2009. The same month, five rough mixes of songs from the album were leaked to the Internet. Chris Vrenna has commented on the leaks, explaining that "I hate stealing of music in any form. If a band chooses to put tracks online, that is great. [...] But, downloading unauthorized music is that same as walking into your local CD store and shoplifting the disc! I think true fans know that usually songs found online before the record's release are either rough mixes of tracks and will wait to hear the music in the way the artist intended."[5]
On March 27, 2009, Metal Hammer released a blog describing two songs from The High End of Low, "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" and the previously unverified track "The Wow" (actually titled "WOW").[6] Later on April 7, 2009, Metal Hammer confirmed the titles of three new songs, "Blank and White", "Running to the Edge of the World" and "White Spider" (actually titled "Wight Spider").[7] The report also confirmed the leaked song "maybeharmfulifswallowed" has since been retitled "Leave a Scar".
On April 16, 2009, MarilynManson.com was updated to include the track listing for The High End of Low, thus revealing three previously unreleased song titles: "Pretty as a Swastika", "Unkillable Monster" and "I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell". A splash page was also added to the website, depicting Manson holding a bundle of fluorescent lights against his head. On April 27, the track listing for the deluxe edition of the album's bonus disc surfaced on HMV's website, revealing that the disc would contain up to seven remixes.
On May 7, 2009, an official minisite for The High End of Low went online. Along with a new promotional photo, the site provides partial lyrics to "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon", links to pre-order both the album and the "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" CD single, a mailing list and a Facebook application that features lyrics and samples to songs from the album. The order songs will feature on this application is as follows: beginning May 7, "Devour", "We're from America" and "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon" will be available; these will be replaced on May 15 by "Four Rusted Horses", "Leave a Scar" and "Pretty as a Swastika"; these will be replaced on May 22 by "Into the Fire", "WOW" and "Blank and White"; these will be replaced on May 29 by "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies", "Unkillable Monster" and "Running to the Edge of the World"; and finally, these will be replaced on June 5 by "I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell", "15" and "Wight Spider", after which the fate of the application is unknown. On May 8, 2009, an e-mail sent through the site's mailing list confirmed that each week leading up to the album's release, a song will be accessible through phones by texting MANSON to 909090, the first of which being "Wight Spider".
Themes
Many themes permeate The High End of Low - mostly ones of violence (Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon, Pretty as a Swastika, Blank and White, I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies), pain (Leave a Scar, Unkillable Monster), politics (We're from America), love and other destructive emotions (Devour, Running to the Edge of the World), death (Four Rusted Horses, I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell) and self-realization/rebirth (Into the Fire).
The album is ultimately a closing of previous ideas, morals and the past.
Manson participated with an exclusive interview with Shockhound in May 2009, in which he explains song meanings within the album.
Manson has stated the whole album is influenced by film, particularly the track I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies.
Release date
The album was originally scheduled for release in October 2008, although due to touring commitments this date was pushed back to winter 2008, before a slating of May 2009, which turned out correct. Initially Manson also intended to release a song from the album before the end of 2008, however these plans did not materialize.
Promoting The High End of Low was a free download of the song "We're from America". This was followed by the song's reissue as a digital single on April 7, and its limited release as a physical single on April 14. The album's first conventional single, "Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon", entered airplay on April 13, and would be released in CD format on May 15 in Germany and on May 18 in the United Kingdom. The song's music video, filmed between April 4 and 5, failed to meet two expected release dates, before premiering on NME.com in censored form,[8] and hours later on the band's official website in uncensored form. Also in promotion of the album, The High End of Low was made available for streaming on Marilyn Manson's MySpace profile before its worldwide release, and on May 28, Hot Topic hosted clips from the album on its website's homepage.
Reception
The High End of Low became the third Manson album to receive mixed reviews from critics. Reviewing for Thrash Hits, Hugh Platt opens his analysis by questioning if Manson has been able to produce "his nastiest record since Antichrist Superstar." He notes that although Twiggy's involvement in the record "gives the album some much-needed muscle," it "never quite manifests a full personality of its own, favoring imitation of Manson albums past, as opposed to forging a new identity of its own." Platt concludes his review by citing that "True, at times it seems Manson is still treading water in a pool of self-pity, but at its best The High End of Low is a goose-stepping, arse-slapping hunk of slutty death-disco." Platt evaluated the album with a rating of 4 out of 6, leaning his mixed reaction towards a fairly positive one.[9] Although he did not supply any specific rating, The Quietus' John Robb offered a gleaming track-by-track review of The High End of Low, comparing the album's highlights to The Doors, David Bowie, Bauhaus and Iggy Pop, and citing "We're from America" as one of the album's top tracks.[10] Revolver's Christopher Weingarten described The High End of Low as Marilyn Manson's "most uplifting album since 1998's Mechanical Animals," however he shared the same critique as Hugh Platt of Thrash Hits, in that "The only thing keeping this record from being a Manson classic is its lack of cohesive personality [...] The new Manson – upbeat, lovesick, and totally psyched to see you all fucking die – doesn't get one sound or feeling to call his own," likening the album to "the world's most expensive mixtape."[11] Chris Power of the BBC noted that "While High End Of Low isn't nearly the equal of career highlights Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood, it nevertheless proves there's still a fair dose of blood and bile to pour from his carcass yet," after 2007's Eat Me, Drink Me which he labeled lackluster. "More impressively," Power goes on, "at its best it provides a pointed satirical commentary on noughties America."[12]
J.R. of Rolling Stone expressed disappointment in the record, contesting that "In 1996, refrains like "You're as pretty as a swastika" and "It's Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin'-geddon" might have raised a few hackles, but in 2009 those lyrics hold little shock value." However J.R. gave a somewhat positive conclusion to his review, in which he certified the album only two-and-a-half out of five stars, noting that "It's a less glamorous job title than Antichrist Superstar, but these days, it suits him better."[13] Phil Freeman of Allmusic criticized that despite the return of Twiggy, "as ever the Manson personality/persona towers over everything else, and his two or three musical ideas are repeated throughout the disc, with only a few exceptions. It doesn't help that he's never even tried to become a technically proficient vocalist." While noting that The High End of Low contains "a few catchy riffs here, and a nice tone on 'Blank and White,'" Freeman voiced his dissatisfaction with some of the album's lyrics, particularly on the songs "Leave a Scar" and "Four Rusted Horses".[14]

Trivia
- The logo for The High End of Low appears to be based on the English logo for The Criterion Edition of the film Tengoku to jigoku, which translates to Heaven and Hell, a lyrical theme in "Four Rusted Horses".
- The High End of Low is the first studio album by Marilyn Manson since their major label debut, Portrait of an American Family, not to feature a conventional title track. However the song "I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell" is essentially the album's title track, as "the high end of low" is a recurring lyric in the song. Worth noting is the compilation Smells Like Children, which also did not have a title track, however the title of this release was lifted from an unrecorded song of the same name.
- The High End of Low runs rampant with references to the number 15, a first since 1998's Mechanical Animals. These references include the album having 15 songs, the last of which is titled "15", the number 15 spanning across the MM logo on the back of the "We're from America" single, the fact there are 15 letters in the album's title, and that The High End of Low would be released roughly 15 years after the band's major label debut, Portrait of an American Family. Noted in an interview, Manson said he has been long obsessed with the number fifteen as it is the number of the devil in the tarot card deck.
