Where they were

Released on June 5, 2007, 'Eat Me, Drink Me' marked Marilyn Manson's sixth studio album and was his first release after the controversial 'Golden Age of Grotesque.' At this point in his career, he was navigating a significant shift in public perception and personal struggles, including a tumultuous breakup with Dita Von Teese.

Why it matters

'Eat Me, Drink Me' debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 chart and received mixed reviews from critics, reflecting Manson's ongoing evolution as an artist. The album's exploration of themes like heartbreak and addiction resonated within the context of the mid-2000s rock scene, making it a pivotal moment in his discography.

Essential tracks

  • "If I Was Your Vampire" — This track opens the album with dark romanticism, blending haunting melodies with Manson's theatrical vocals that set the tone for the entire record.
  • "Putting Holes in Happiness" — An introspective anthem dealing with themes of despair and longing, it showcases Manson's ability to merge pop sensibilities with his signature shock rock style.
  • "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)" — This song exemplifies Manson's exploration of love and obsession through a lens of gothic aesthetics, highlighting both vulnerability and defiance within its narrative.
  • "You and Me and the Devil Makes 3" — With its catchy yet sinister undertones, this track illustrates Manson's knack for storytelling, presenting a compelling reflection on morality intertwined with temptation.
