Not yet. I'm still unsure whether I can be bothered to return to it
yet. Certainly it would be one of the most humourless JSW games
around, since MM's previously twisted sense of humour was reduced to
a handful of bitter plays on words over those albums

Very much so. The three albums form a conceptual trilogy (quite how
is debatable - Manson's said they go in reverse order, others think
there's a different order that he's not saying, and I've heard rumour
that the individual songs can be rearranged into a definitive
concept. All parties agree they don't play in production order).
GAotG on the other hand is neither a part of the story nor even
conceptual in itself
