Glam rock meets an industrial aesthetic in this ambitious concept record. It marks a shift for the artist, moving away from abrasive metal toward synth-heavy, Bowie-esque arrangements.
Michael Beinhorn handled the production, crafting a clean, expansive sound suitable for late-nineties radio. The project blends cynical social commentary with the artificial, glittery feel of the glam era.
