Holy Wood

Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) is the fourth studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released on November 11, 2000, by Nothing and Interscope Records. A rock opera concept album, it is the final installment of a triptych that also included Antichrist Superstar (1996) and marked a return to the industrial metal style of the band's earlier work, after the glam rock-influenced production of Mechanical Animals (1998). After its release, the band's eponymous vocalist said that the overarching story within the trilogy is presented in reverse chronological order: Holy Wood, therefore, begins the narrative.

In the aftermath of the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999, national news media reported that the perpetrators were wearing the band's T-shirts during the rampage and had been influenced by their music. As their first release after the massacre, the record was Manson's rebuttal to the accusations leveled against him and the group and was described by the vocalist as a "declaration of war". It was written in the singer's former home in the Hollywood Hills and recorded in several undisclosed locations, including Death Valley and Laurel Canyon. His ambitions for Holy Wood initially included an eponymous film exploring its backstory—a project which has since been abandoned and was modified into the as-yet-unreleased Holy Wood novel.

The album was released to generally positive reviews. Several writers praised it as the band's finest work, and multiple publications ranked it as one of the best albums of 2000. British rock magazine Kerrang! went on to include it on its list of the best albums of the decade. In the US, Holy Wood was not as commercially successful as the band's preceding records, debuting at number 13 on the Billboard 200. However, it became their most successful album internationally, debuting in the top twenty of numerous national charts. It was certified gold in several countries, including Canada, Japan, Switzerland and the UK.

Three singles were released from the record: "Disposable Teens", "The Fight Song" and "The Nobodies", and the band embarked on the worldwide Guns, God and Government Tour. In 2010, Kerrang! published a 10th-anniversary commemorative piece in which they called the album "Manson's finest hour ... A decade on, there has still not been as eloquent and savage a musical attack on the media and mainstream culture ... [It is] still scathingly relevant [and] a credit to a man who refused to sit and take it, but instead come out swinging."

这专辑出来的时候，曼森被背负这很大的争议。由其是99年的哥伦拜恩校园枪击案大众对他的音乐指责，认为他的音乐里充满反基督、崇拜撒旦、暴力、仇恨、复仇等因素。对凶手产生影响。应对整个事件应负一定责任。

若干年后，曼森会成为反体制先驱。

曼森自己都表示可以理解矛头指向自己，他知道这个社会需要替罪羊，教育缺失的替罪羊 ，家庭环境的替罪羊，枪支管理的替罪羊：他这个“人畜无害”歌手，所以就认了[大哭]校园暴力的采访网上有，最后记者问如果你在现场你会跟这些孩子们说些什么，他说我什么都不说，我只会聆听，因为没有一个人这样做

05年买这张专辑是因为封面 后来才知道我买了一张这么牛逼的专辑

曼森从来不是什么带坏小孩的恶魔 他只是抨击社会上存在的问题的手法不温和而已……相比来说他写的词还是十分有正面意义的[奸笑]

这张大概就是乐队的巅峰之作了，里面仍继承着反基督时期的反叛，愤世嫉俗，但全篇听完我才明白，这张专辑流露的是那种无法改变，深不见底的绝望。 “没有什么能改变这个世界” 这个曾经世界上最叛逆的人说出了这样的话 曼森思考过什么？我们不得而知 但很显然 不止他一人在挣扎

哈哈哈哈 他胖成球圆润的滚去过中老年生活了

机械动物和反基督巨星封面都没了 这张挺住啊

我咋觉得他的歌是教育大家要做个好人呢[汗]

曼森:和谐了我的封面，还挣我的钱

我记得之前曼森好像在日本参加一个活动 ，然后他在后台吃汉堡时说了一句：我只是个贫穷的白人[大哭]

其实那些家长不知道的是，论极端MM根本算不上什么，那些东西都是表演出来的，音乐也算不上多么极端，倒是那些挪威黑金属才是真极端，不过因为相对小众倒没有人讨伐他们

他在采访中提到枪击那天美军在科索沃投下大量炸弹

他自己排名都不把后期的专辑放进去，个人觉得他只是已经把想说的说完了，后期就是玩

'人们不会去怪往国外扔炸弹的总统，人们怪我，只是因为我唱摇滚歌曲。'

有一说一，曼森真的背锅

应该是制作水准最高的一张了，如果不是那些破事应该销量能超过反基督巨星，但是很可惜

我不知道你看没看过迈克尔摩尔的纪录片《科伦拜恩的保龄》.如果你有空你可以看一下, 看完之后我相信你不会再发出这种言论了

美国枪击不是很正常吗？不因外部因素改变.
