'Excited' is perhaps a bit too strong a word for the situation at hand, but your Friday song and the album it's taken from have me interested, at the very least. I've already posted about "Third Day of a Seven Day Binge" so it's time for some more new Marilyn Manson.
Where the aforementioned "Third Day" was a bit more stripped back, "Deep Six" is a driving rocker with a simple but catchy main guitar hook. Manson still hasn't convinced me that the upcoming The Pale Emperor is a return to form, but these last couple of tracks certainly haven't hurt. Check it out and see if you too are at least interested in hearing some of what's next.

Marilyn Manson - Third Day of a Seven Day Binge
It's taken me a whole week to check the Song of the Day slide, but I'm finally all caught up with the calendar and back on track. And serendipitously, the universe has decided to send me the perfect song for yet another alliterative Monday.
This might come as a bit of a shock to many of you out there, but Marilyn Manson is still making records. I haven't paid much attention to the last couple of them, but that doesn't mean they haven't been made all the same. I can't remember the last time a Manson record got me excited, and I wouldn't say that his forthcoming The Pale Emperor is going to buck that trend, but the first single certainly has my attention.
"Third Day of a Seven Day Binge" is, in my opinion, a good example of what has always been one of Manson's greatest strengths: dark, vaguely creepy pop-rock with perhaps just a hint of sleaze. This stripped-down, fairly mellow number could sit alongside similar offerings from albums gone by ("The Speed of Pain" from Mechanical Animals comes to mind as a loose comparison), and it's the first Manson song in years that I've dug. Check it out and see if it hits you the same.
