Best of Marilyn Manson

This ten-year, six-album career has yielded a collection of the best of Marilyn Manson, featuring some of the greatest rock anthems of the last decade. Lest We Forget: The Best of Marilyn Manson opens with "The Love Song" from Holy Wood, and then proceeds to a handful of cover songs that have made it as singles.

The decadent, beefed-up version of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" may not vary much from the original, but the band does it the appropriate Goth justice. "Tainted Love" adds a menacing, industrial-glam to the electric northern soul of Soft Cell's version, while the one that broke them into the UK mainstream, "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics, sounds as good as ever. The high-energy signature tune, "Beautiful People," and tracks like "Disposable Teens" or "The Fight Song" typify the band's intelligent approach to rock 'n' roll posturing.

Tracks included in this collection are "Personal Jesus," "Tainted Love," "The Beautiful People," and "The Dope Show," among many more. While many may have all the albums already, Lest We Forget is the perfect addition for anyone who likes the odd song but was too fearful to delve any further into the world of Marilyn Manson. This collection showcases the band's iconic imagery and their ability to create crowd-pleasing anthems. --Georgina Collins
