With its relentless but danceable industrial beat and death metal guitars, "Lunchbox" was one of the standouts on
Marilyn Manson's debut album,
Portrait of an American Family. For its single, "Lunchbox" was paired with a cover of
Gary Numan's "Down in the Park" and four reworked versions of the title track -- "Next Motherfucker," "Brown Bag," "Metal," and "Lunchbox (Highschool Drop-Outs)." Apart from the latter, which is a radio edit of "Lunchbox," the remixes are fairly intriguing, but the single remains of interest primarily to hardcore
Manson collectors, not casual fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
