EGO!!!!!!!
Its manson meets saved by the bell
Yeowch. First year graphic design student…
I agree the cover sucks. It’s a good thing I at least like the music inside.
Wouldn’t call it the worst cover ever though.
Actually, I know where the inspiration for this comes from:

…I have an older sister, she liked them, not me, I didn’t buy the “Push it” cassette tape because the video gave me my first boner..that would be ridiculous.
The actual art/photo isn’t even that bad, but look at that fucking text, that’s some seriously awful stuff. And the lame title? The High of the Low End? Laaaaaame.
Maybe it looks lazy compared to his more well-known covers (it’s not nearly as bizarre or conceptual as mechanical animals, nor as inspiring as Holy Wood), but look! no makeup to make his skin look smooth! His freckles are on full display!!!! His big fat lips are a humanoid color again! Just him and his long hair, and his face…. he’s getting all nostalgic about Twiggy being back, so it seems he has reverted to the art mindset of P.O.A.A.F…… raw, no further gimmicks past the name and the personality that originally went with it.
Which is awesome…because there is something more frightening about him when he isn’t trying to be the devil…
its really hard to read the logo
You see, what you need to realize: Both “Marilyn” and “Manson” both start with “MA.” So he doubles up on the MA part. Get it?!
And they both end with N and that was doubled up as well, OMG.
Ma Rily N Son? i agree, this one is badddd. really bad.
It’s better than the cover of his last album. That’s all I’m saying.
’bout the same time he spent on the music
If I saw that cover for the first time, I’d have no idea what the album is called.
Wow. Talk about a headline UNDERplaying the story!
No worse than the album cover you guys showed previous to this one, I mean is it just your bias at this point with the “album cover sucks/rocks” stories? Any band you like seems to have a great cover, any band you don’t has a stupid cover, I get it, really, but just move on.
The more I hear about this album, the more I’m having to face the fact: Marilyn Manson is old. Like punk bands who keep going even though all the youthful passion that made them great is gone, Brian Warner is officially only in it for the pussy now. Here’s hoping you can still find women who aren’t completely gnarly in the looks department who get all moist over old dudes in makeup. Good luck, brother. Parking lots at The Cure concerts might be a good place to start.
Hey, more proof that Marilyn Manson is no longer relevant! At least the Antichrist Superstar album cover was creepy-looking.
The photo itself is well done,
but the words are a horrible mess. But, it is better than “Eat Me, Drink Me”
Maybe he doesn’t want to make shocking album covers anymore, so that people focus on the music and not his freakiness?
What a cunt
Wasn’t there a Facebook meme going around a while ago about creating your own album cover from a random snippet of text and a random Flickr image? This reminds me of that, and not in a good way.
“The High of End Low” or whateverthefuck is done in Myriad Pro, which is the default font in Adobe Illustrator. That is some goddamned lazy design (and this is coming from a lazy designer).
