GODHEAD 2000 YEARS OF HUMAN ERROR ALBUM POSTHUMAN RELEASE: JANUARY 29, 2001 REVIEW: FEBRUARY 17, 2001

The first release on Marilyn Manson's modestly named Posthuman label doesn't exactly stake out any new musical paths. The American Godhead will probably be bought by a fair amount of Manson fans and slagged of by about as many Manson haters, but the fact is that the two bands don't have very much in common.
Godhead rather sound scarily much like the mid-90's wave of North American industrial rock bands, released on labels like Re-Constriction and Fifth Colvmn. Most of those bands were horribly dull, and Godhead only stand out from that herd because of their slicker, more contemporary production, courtesy of Danny Saber. This all makes for an extremely unadventurous album, especially since they almost end up resembling an industrial Bryan Adams in their most poppy moments.
If this is all there is supposed to be to posthumanity, I'd rather stay human, thank you very much.
