AllMusic[1]

Maryland Mansions is an album by Cex released on Jade Tree Records in 2003. The album is darker and more aggressive than previous works, with strong industrial influences.[2][3] Cex has acknowledged being heavily influenced by the early Nine Inch Nails album Broken, a work known for its intensity over its similarly short length.[4][5] Both works have the same number of tracks as well.

The album's name is also strongly similar to that of the artist Marilyn Manson, a former protégé of Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor.
