"The Spookykids were silly. You don't get Spookykids music because it's any good; you just get it because you're a collector of any Manson stuff you can get your hands on. Get this only if you're a devoted fan who must have everything."

Poor Quality All over

"I must admit that when i heard they were going to release Marilyn Mansons earlier stuff i was expecting much more. It is great that they have son of man on there but chances are if your a marilyn manson collector then you already have a much better quality of this song wich is sad i found out this only after buying the cd. Strange Same Dogma and White Knuckles are two really great songs but i dont like paying 16 dollars for just two studio quality songs especially if its surrounded by poor quality. The rest are demos at best and remind you of that time you decided to record your garage band for the first time with anything that could hold tape. Yes even Flood and Reznor couldnt patch these demos up in any given amount of time."

Genis Of The Devil Review

"yes, this certainly is the genis of the devil. it is not Marilyn Manson's best work, but he's on his way up the becoming/passing of the anti-christ, the omega, and much more.
all of the live songs are recorded at Church of Preverted.
this is a great cd.
Son of Sam is like Black Sabbath's Iron Man, in that there is the same music, and some of the same words.
There is a live recording of Misery Machine, and the first ever recording of Marilyn Manson, Misery Machine. And in my opinion, if theres 2 recordings of Misery Machine, how can a cd be bad?
Also the is My Monkey, the lyrics about a monkey are taken from the infamous serial killer, Charles Manson."
