Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Washington DC's Godhead are the first signing to Marilyn Manson's Posthuman Records, which should come as no great surprise. Just look at them: frontman Jason Miller looks a bit like an angry Uncle Fester, all shaven of head and leather of bodysuit, while the rest of the band wear as much eye makeup as all of Charlie's Angels (except they're, you know, angrier). But listen to 2000 Years Of Human Error, and the merit of their music shines through their cartoonish appearance. Blending eighties synth-pop with 21st-century industrial metal, 2000 Years sounds like where Nine Inch Nails might have been headed after Pretty Hate Machine if Trent Reznor had only taken the happy pills instead. Sure, song titles like "I Sell Society" and "I Hate Today" are as bleak as anything by their nu-metal peers, but songs like "The Reckoning" and "Inside You" have an unmistakable pop decadence that's more Duran Duran than Ozzy Osbourne. That doesn't just set Godhead apart from their peers; it places them ahead. --Robert Burrow

This CD is an excellent cross between Metal and Haunting Melodies. A Lot of people compare this to Marilyn Manson but i think that this is better as GodHead has some meaningfull lyrics (not like Marilyn Manson rambling on about destroying a god that doesn't exist) and doesnt use controversy to sell their music (Manson again).
The music is pretty formulaic (soft verse , heavy chorus , soft verse etc) but some how works without getting annoying or boring.
The frontman (Jason Miller) looks like an angry Uncle Fester but his voice is actually pretty melodic at times.
This CD is excellent as its very good music and at such a great price.
The best tracks are :- The Reckoning , I Sell Society , Eleanor Rigby and I Hate Today (The latter being an acoustic song which after 6 minutes breaks into crashing guitars and pounding drums).
All In All - Great CD , Great Price . An absolute Must.

This is a great album from the First signing on Manson's new label..absolutely brilliant i'd recommend it to all you out there and make sure u go and buy it straight away...if u like manson mixed with a bit of industrial get it. A great album with crashing songs like the reckoning and break you down with the man himself mr. manson. at a great price from amazon an album not to be missed but one to be savoured

Godhead, they appear to have been around for some time but I only heard of them recently when reading an article about marilyn manson, on whose label they are signed.
They do sound a little bit like marilyn manson but less glam and less seedy, actually they owe more to orgy (if you have heard of them) maybe a little like nine inch nails, the point is if you like any of those acts then it is worth you checking out this album.
1, The reckoning.
I would say the song is about the end of days, a pacy song with strong chorus.
2, I sell society.
One of my favourite songs on the album, i think it is about the back handed nature of capitalist society.
3, Inside you.
A decent track, it is fairly simple lyrically but it gets its messege across. It is about obssession and desire.
4, Sinking.
A fair track but nothing to shout about.
The theme hear is about lacking self confidence and feeling lika a sinking ship.
5, Tired old man.
I think the tired old man of the title is a metaphor for how life without pleasure or respite can make us feel old and tired.
a slow and intense track.
6, break you down.
features Marilyn manson, not a bad song but it lacks punch both musically and lyrically.
7, Penetrate.
Another decent track but lyrically it is lacks any strong theme except an unwillingness to conform.
8, Backstander.
I assume the song is about being trapped in a relationship but it could have more to it than that. again not a bad song but not essential.
9, Eleanor rigby.
Yep beatles cover, a good one at that. The song is pretty much intact but it is delivered in a different manner.
10, 2000 years of human error.
Obviously about religion, nothing hard about that. One of the stranger tracks too.
11, I hate today.
The slowest track present, and most stripped down. the nearest the album has to a ballad I suppose. Atmospheric and it is one of my favourite tracks present.
The first two songs are a great intro to the band and album, both are very strong. The middle of the album does drag a little hence four stars not five but the last couple of tracks bring it back. for fans of industrial music, well worth looking into.
