Marilyn Manson's MECHANICAL ANIMALS

lyric dissection.

This accounts for every word spoken by Manson in every verse and chorus from "MECHANICAL ANIMALS." Every audible word spoke has been accounted for; various screams and whatnot have been left out. However, if the scream is an intelligble word, such as: "yeah" "pow pow pow" and "fuck it," it has been accounted for.

This word count includes every word spoken (each time), but does not count words spoken from samples played throughout the album.

MECHANICAL ANIMALS: lyrically takes somewhat of a departure from the themes of ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR. The lyrics of Mechanical Animals are much more "sci-fi" (given that this is a much more "glam" rock album.) Word counts may be higher than you'd think; these lists account for every audible lyric (spare samples) and on some songs from this LP, the choruses are looped and faded out.

Much more lighthearted than Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals mentions the word "love" fourty-two times, whereas it was mentioned only fourteen times in Antichrist.
