"2 songs for a CD single. I paid about 5 dollars for it! The Para-Noir remix Paranoiac sounds almost exactly the same, actually it offers less variety than the real track! 2 songs, no enhancement, no video, no real booklet. RIP-OFF."
Be obscene, be be obscene!

"A cheerleader's worse nightmare, being in a Manson song! This single has to be one of Manson's most promising works. The sound is flawless, he has never sounded better, and the songs are definitely not over/under produced. The lyrics remain true to Manson's style but the sound is different, in a very good way. If this is just a tasty morsel of Manson's new album, I feel that we all will be very happy with the full-length. The video to this song is pretty cool too if you get the chance to see it. I tried forever to hear this song on the radio or find a clip on the net, but to no avail. I finally saw the single at a local record store so I scoffed it up. It is worth the whole 4 bucks I paid for it. Definitely one song I will be singing along with for a while, well, until the May 13th when The Golden Age of the Grotesque is released to a very ravenous audience."
Good songs that wet the palette for the new album

"Mobscene is an amazing song, both lyrically and musically. And if you close your eyes and MAYBE squint a little, you can see the cabaret girls dancing, the absinthe bottles lying around, and the dancing. Paranoiac is a completely different style then his previous works, and really makes me curious as to what the remainder of the album will sound like. It very much resembles a slow MDFMK song, which makes sense seeing as how Tim Skold is their new bassist and helped produce the majority of the album.I came to see the mobscene, and I wasn't dissapointed."
Para-noiac, you need me

"Fans will want this, most people will not.
I seriously doubt mOBSCENE does amazingly as a single, so most people who are ill over buying a manson cd wont but this either.
With that said i can now comment on the very cool remix of Para-noir. Para-noiac (3:56) Much more Techno oriented than the normal version. Rabid Fans will over course drool over this track and most people will still enjoy the remix. My only complaint is this is such a bare single. Nothing but the two tracks. So the price is certainly right. Fans can compare this to the "The Day The World Went Away" single, but even that had three songs."
