Search - Charles Manson :: Live From San Quentin

PERHAPS MANSON'S BEST ALBUM

Pistols Fan | Nevada | 05/18/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"It's sad that this CD is so expensive. I was able to track down a copy on AMAZON for $49, and it was worth every penny. The ONLY thing that kept this CD from getting five stars is the sound quality.



The songs are all TOP NOTCH: Manson at his best. Fans of the "LIE" album will really enjoy this. I like this album even better than the studio companion to "Lie", which is called "All the way Alive".



YES... you can hear talking in the background..... YES... you can hear toilets flushing in the background. But the GOOD NEWS is that when Manson is singing and playing guitar, it's not so noticeable.



This album is a TESTAMENT to the human spirit. Here is a guy in a prison cell with a Sony tape recorder and a guitar, and he records an album of incredible material much, much better than most of the crap that's being churned out today costing millions to record.



BOTTOM LINE: If you're a huge Charles Manson fan like I am, then this is an album that you MUST have in your collection, no two ways about it.



If you can overlook the audio imperfections, it's a solid 5-star album. GET THIS ALBUM."
