Real or fake? ALBUM RELEASE SCHEDULE AND TRACKLISTING

You guys don't get it, Manson loves concept albums, SAY10's obviously about atrociously bad wordplay. And drugs. Lotsa lots a them.
100% Fake.
I hate to say this, but I don't think it's fake...
Remember this post?
It links to a MM post on Instragram which says:

Good God, I hope I'm wrong... Fired Hazard sounds stupid...
Yeah I thought about TGAOG when I wrote that line. It worked a lot better when associated with dadaism. The only way you don't look like a washed out moron when selling a toilet as "art" is to label yourself a surrealist.
I'm a lot like you when it comes to Manson. The guy was an inspiration. Not that I ever thought his work was any better than anyone else's, but at least it was driven, genuine, and had a particular kind of self-aware cynicism, which became his doom eventually. If nothing makes sense and if everything is bullshit, there's not much left to say about it. Only a guy like Cioran is capable of bemoaning the human nature and the curse of thinking while openly aching over it, and being good at it.
I think Manson could have been absolutely great nonetheless. Had he left the booze and pills in the cupboard, he could have maintained that spark of brilliance, instead of having it flicker on and off like an old neon light. I love The Pale Emperor, but to me it has little to do with what made Manson great in my eyes. It's like finding something salvageable after a wreckage, it's not what it was anymore, but hell, it's good enough and better than nothing.
And the Hazekiah thing was just a joke, don't think too much of it. I think it has little to do with you, fundamentally.
Because I'm telling you I do? o.O? Not sure what "proof" you are wanting. Go browse some of Manson's tag on his IG.
EDIT: Not sure what the problem you are having with the site. Haven't noticed anything on my various computers or mobile. Is it just the forum or the whole site? Shoot me your username there in a message and I'll dig into it.

It's funny, I'm starting to wonder what made me jump back on the Merlin Mansob train as well. I learned to stop buying his CDs and merch a long time ago, but I keep getting sucked back in some how. Back when GOAG came out, I jumped ship. That was the final MM straw for me. Call it getting older (I had just turned 20 recently before that record was released), call it discovering other music, call it just a shitty album (sorry guys... gonna get flamed for that one), but I lost interest in that guy around then. Actually, it started a bit before that record even came out. I recall starting to sell some of my prized MM possessions on eBay even before that record was released. I sold my copy of Mechanical Animals that was signed by the whole band I went to a radio station singing for on the Holywood tour. (In hindsight I regret selling this really bad)...
I literally swore off this guy for the next few years. Then fast forward to Eat Me Drink me, and he somehow suckered me back in. I don't even know how, because that record was even worse than the last one! Then I saw him on that tour. Then it became a snowball effect again. Started following the guy, was hyped for THEOL record, and at the time, I thought it was a decent record that was kind of underrated (looking back now, I can see it's still one of his weaker records, but it's still an underrated record).
Once BV came out, I was full on addicted to this guy again... even despite his slowly declining live performances, there was something that was drawing me in like some sort of an addiction. His shows got so bad, that they became like a car accident, you are just so fascinated with all the wreckage that you can't help but to stop and stare. You know you shouldn't be looking at it, but you are anyway. You feel guilty. You know you should walk away, but you can't.
I continued to give this man money by going to see his live shows when they came around, each time wondering why I wasted my money. I swore I would never pay for another MM show again in my life. I am proud to say that since saying that, I have stuck to my guns and skipped the last show of his that came to town.
But yet, I am still sitting here impatiently waiting for a new song, record or something. There is something magical about a new Manson release. It's one of those few artists that I guess takes me back to the good old days (not like being an angry depressed teen was the good old days haha), but there really is something magical about a new Manson release. No matter how old I get, I will always be eagerly awaiting the new Manson release. I know all my friends have given up on this guy long, long ago. I don't know why I jumped back on the Manson train. I can't explain it. But here I am.

i would LOVE if the author of this thread would change the title to "merlin mansob".

Perhaps because, like me, there's still that teeny tiny part of yourself that is forever in denial about the total fucking trainwreck this man you once heavily respected and looked up to has become, and hope against all reason and common sense to one day open a lyric booklet to find something poignant and observant and kickass, that'll make you feel inspired, like it's 1996 all over again. That you'll press 'Play' or set your needle and hear something harsh and kickass and immediate and commanding, that makes you want to give the whole world the middle finger.
Or at least, that you'll see and hear a man who's finally, mercifully, come to terms with himself and matured as an artist. The Pale Emperor felt like a step or two in that direction.
Hope keeps us going.
But it'll never happen, will it. God, I'd love it to, but he's washed up and we're older and wiser, and he's washed up, and all the people barring Twiggy that helped to make him what he is are gone or dead or insane...and he's an alcoholic who's openly admitted to phoning it in and, yes...he's washed up.
man.... Holy Wood and Mechanical Animals aged really well... I miss those days....
I still like him/them, enjoy the shows and new music. I also give Manson very little mental energy. Just another band I follow.
lol, just posting here to say that @Damian /Cringeon is 100% legit. He certainly has heard the new album already and if he says that tracklist is fake, then it's definitely (and thankfully) fake.
I really hope Manson changes the name of the album. Fuck Say10 is a stupid title.
i think that part of merlin's discography is set in stone, tony.
edit: i'm still a fan in the "will a song or two be decent?" way. he sucks. so bad. but, y'know, "deep six" was *kind of* fun. i had the same feelings about miley cyrus's latest. that was truly half awesome.

Apparently according to a post Manson put on instagram, June 19 is A release date.
