The Golden Age of Grotesque es el quinto disco de estudio creado por el grupo de Industrial metal estadounidense Marilyn Manson. En este disco Manson cambia de estilo, intenta ser cómico. Según sus declaraciones, consideró que ya había dicho todo lo que tenía que decir sobre la religión, la sociedad, etc. y por ello esta vez procuró hacer un disco menos serio, alegre, centrado en el erotismo y en lo irracional. Menciona que se inspiró en el movimiento vanguardista Dadaísmo, que se basaba en conseguir la ausencia total de sentido, mensaje y significado en las creaciones artísticas. Publicado en el 2003 , este álbum trae un "Bonus Track" en forma de versión llamada "Tainted love". Este disco no llegó a superar las expectativas que la banda tenía, llegando a vender 4.500.000 de copias en todo el mundo.
Como todo álbum de la banda, la lírica de los temas son experiencias, opiniones o sentimientos de Manson pero The Golden Age of Grotesque tiene un concepto obsceno, vulgar y sincero, todo el álbum se lleva a cabo dentro de un burlesque o un bar, llega a dar una crítica a la burguesía y a otros sectores políticos mediante un aspecto tenebroso y elegante. Tiene un arte estilo virreinato y la elegancia al estilo de los duques siglo XV o XVIII, Otro factor que inspiró a Manson en este álbum fue el sadismo, el sexo y el gore, eso se puede ver representado en el vídeo de (s)AINT, en las escenas de la carne o de Manson con una navaja.
El fetichismo se puede ver representado en el vídeo mOBSCENE, en las escenas de la mujer obesa, la niña enjaulada o Manson disfrazado de capitán. Mickey Mouse fue usado bastante en el arte del álbum tanto en su galería fotográfica, en el vídeo This is the New Shit, en el tour del año 2003 y en su galería de pinturas, Un Mickey Alzando su sombrero de orejas y dejando descubierto su hueco cráneo. La crítica al mundo de Manson esta vez fue llevada a una tonada muy vestida, dando a entender que la sociedad esta perdida gracias a la TV o la publicidad, lleno de pianos estilo burlesque, violines y sonidos de TV descompuesta junto a sonidos de simios, conferencias de Hitler, gritos de políticos de USA y palabras de Manson, es como comienza y termina el álbum (Esto en los temas Thaeter, Obsequey (The Death Of Art) y Baboon Rape Party).

(S)AINT
I don't care if your world is ending today
I wasn't invited to it anyway
You said I tasted famous, so I drew you a heart
But now I'm not an artist I'm a fucking work of art
I've got an F and a C and I got a K too
And the only thing missing is a bitch like yoU
You wanted perfekt
You got your perfekt
But now I'm too perfekt for someone like you
I was a dandy in your ghetto with
A snow white smile and you'll
Never be as perfekt whatever you do
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an AINT
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an AINT
I am a bonetop, a death's head
On a mopstick
You infected me, took diamonds
I took all your shit
Your "sell-by date" expired,
So you had to be sold
I'm a suffer-genius and
Vivi-sex symbol.
You wanted perfekt
You got your perfekt
But now I'm too perfekt for someone like you

VIDEO ORIGINAL TEMA: TAINTED LOVE. MARILYN MANSON.
TAINTED LOVE
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
I've lost my lights
I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
You think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
