Devil Woman
definiately different from the majority of manson sites . this site talks more about early manson and spookkids stuff (very nice!) plus it offers a look at some other areas of interest that Dogma holds, such as a Clockwork Orange Page, and online diary (funny =) and some other bands as well. The main page was amazing in its presentation and its also easy to move around on, in jumping from one page to/another. Devil Woman also offers a glimpse at Dogmas' life in the On-Line Diary, take a peek =)
The only problem i had was with the type size really and the fact that the red writing on the main page was a little difficult to read against the picture background. but with a little patience its readable. while there isn't much for manson what is here is vintage spookykids'. a nice change from the anti-christ focus pages. If this is going to be the theme of the page then its a definate standout against the typical page.

The Coven
Reviewers' Note:
since your only manson content is a POAAFA at this point, i don't think i can really review that. i thought they were all suppose to be similar, right?

for the rest of your page, i'd have to say that your definately original in content and presentation. i like the idea of simply explaining something that so many misunderstand. the only problem i had was sometimes its difficult to read the text, red is a difficult thing to see especially on the red textured background.
i liked the nin pics too =) so content, pictures, and presentation are all around good. i don't have another nin site to compare it to so i'm limited, but i do think that you have a good start on a site here, and i like your choice of other topics as well =)
Total= 90/100 since your missing manson stuff really. let me know when you update so i can come back and look again =)

Note from the owner:
thanks... If you want go ahead and post this... But.. .I am taking both pages one day at a time... I will get more things up and running ( such as a manson section on personal page) within the next few months....

I think that its a good look at the person/fan more than anything else. As a manson related page it offfers a group of pics and a connection to the Misery Machine, that are good. And thought there's not much for a manson fan to do there are connections to other sites that the owner has created which are interesting.
Overall I give it a 80/100 B
All Things Evil...
All Things Evil... is an intersting page. i don't usually recommend specifically something but i really like the confusion page that is offered. its a nice, consise description of CoS and the band's beliefs (this continuous battle about manson and the CoS can i think be easily ended by reading this.) All Things Evil... also offers up a picture page that is done with thumbnails (another preference of mine =) and has a few less seen and i think couple i haven't seen before as well. There's a personal page to introduce and i think help you understand the owner Katie. Also theres a couple extra nice pages such as a contact the band page, a soon ending contest and a seperate page just for webrings (a real plus considering how long they take to load =) Plus there is a page on how to become a spooykid (majordomo) and places on the web to get manson merchandise. Overall I find that this an informative and helpful page for spookys with a nice layout.
Total 95/100= A
SadomasochisticExpialodotious
SadomasochisticExpialodotiousis the main site for a series of music pages. For the sake of the archive i'm focusing on the MM site mainly, however i highly recommend looking at the rest of this site its... amazing!
The Nothing Page contains contains an impressive collection of personal pics and artwork (and just as a reminder, please don't steal from here because i will know if you did!!!) There is also an essay here on the real meaning of manson... IMHO a great piece of work, if you can handle the truth =)
Between the Essay and the great pics, the MM/NIN part of the site are an original, different and refreshing change from the usual manson page. Combined with the rest of SadomasochisticExpialodotious, this is a massive and increidble collection of musical interests.
Total = 95/100 (there are a few typos, but the increased loading speed is a nice =)
Tourniquet of a Dope Fiend
the site creator has told me that this site is under construction and while there isn't that much here yet i have to say its off to a good start. its different from the majority of sites and i think offers a chance for other fans to open up and express themselves and how they feel on manson and other topics. the page contains:
  • the reflecting poet: orginal peotry ... cool
  • a minute of decaying: theories on the death of kurt cobain
  • down in the park: a collection of thoughts on diffent subjects deling with manson, from fan perspectives

    So while this isn't a manson page perse it is a nice offshot of manson and their fans. nice start =) and btw i really like the title headers, a nice change =)
    Total: 85/100 =B+
    i would suggest checking the spacing on the main page (the sentences run together a bit too much) and i would check the spelling as well... while i catch some of the spelling plays others i wasn't too sure of (then again i'm not the greatest speller myself so...)

  • The Eclipse

    This is a Manson/NIN site, don't see too many of those. But anyway... Mansons' Eclipse offers a basic pictorial discography (though there really isn't much here), a clip of kinderfeld (from MTV News), a couple real audio songs, the standard lyrics (though the layout looks strangely familiar!!), and a link to grimmy's tab page. Overall, outside of a nice intro page grapic its a standard (though barren) manson page.

    Total= 70/100=C
