Perhaps to prepare fans for their next release (produced by Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan), Marilyn Manson decided to release a five-track EP of dance remixes and live songs. Diehard fans starved for more Manson product will eat it up...The group does show that they have what it takes to come up with sometimes interesting dance makeovers of popular songs (such as "The Horrible People," a reworking of their hit "The Beautiful People"), but the originals are better and definitive. You'll also find a pair of live tracks, "Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World" and "Antichrist Superstar," which catch the band in all of their shock-rock glory. And closing the mini-album is a mellow acoustic piece (consisting of just guitar and voice, with a few sound effects here and there) entitled "Man That You Fear," which is a departure from their usual sound. If you're an M.M. completist, you'll want a copy... ~ Greg Prato

Perhaps to prepare fans for their next release (being produced by Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan, rumored to be experimental and different), Marilyn Manson have decided to release a five-track EP of dance remixes and live songs. Although diehard fans starved for more Manson product will eat it up, it's hardly a necessary release. The group does show that they have what it takes to come up with sometimes interesting dance makeovers of popular songs (such as "The Horrible People," a reworking of their hit "The Beautiful People"), but the originals are better and definitive. You'll also find a pair of live tracks, "Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World" and "Antichrist Superstar," which catch the band in all of their shock-rock glory. And closing the mini-album is a mellow acoustic piece (consisting of just guitar and voice, with a few sound effects here and there) entitled "Man That You Fear," which is a departure from their usual sound. If you're an M.M. completist, you'll want a copy, but casual fans should stick with their full-length albums. ~ Greg Prato

You want gothic-industrial rock a la Nine Inch Nails filtered through a post-Alice Cooper shock-rock sensibility? Look no further than the Manson crew. This EP, featuring both live and remixed versions of old Manson tunes, is not the ideal introduction for the unconverted. For hardcore fans, however, REMIX & REPENT is an unusual and valuable addition to the MM canon.
