Review
Wherever Marilyn Manson goes, controversy is sure to follow. And with Godhead, the first band signed to Manson's Priority/Posthuman Records, the petals do not fall too far from the seed. Though the tracks on 2000 Years of Human Error (2001) sound more like an eerie electronic aural score than a symphony of pure evil grumblings from the beasts under your bed, the band Godhead is determined to push society's buttons. And if they keep it up, they might just succeed. 2000 Years is a vessel of angst-ridden tunes that condemn society's ill will, in which the band scolds the evils of the innate nature of humans as a whole. The powerhouse track, "I Sell Society," is a satirical statement in which singer Jason Miller howls in a deep, hypnotic voice, "Tell me all your problems/I've got just the thing to fix it/sell it to you for this bargain basement price." With Godhead's dark, macabre attitude and brash electronic musings on the folly of human sin, it didn't take long for Marilyn Manson to pick up on their scent and take them under his dark wing. Manson lends his vocals to the hypnotic track "Break You Down" and worked as executive producer for the album. Godhead's cover of the Beatles' tune "Eleanor Rigby" is a mysterious, dark tribute that is sure to ring terror in the ears of the Fab Four like a recurring nightmare hosted by Trent Reznor of NIN. The fourth album from the industrial goth band with a penchant for picketing outside the gates of the ignorantly grazing humankind, 2000 Years is a guitar-ripping dissertation -- only it's sealed inside a musical envelope that's addressed to the likes of Adam and Eve. With a little help from Manson, Godhead will keep the nightmare alive. ~ Kerry L. Smith, All Music GuideTracks
