Marilyn Manson Artist Snapshot:

Initially mentored by Nine Inch Nails mainman Trent Reznor, Marilyn Manson created an accessible, highly successful variant on the former's electronic-tinged industrial rock. Manson took shock-rock to a whole new plateau in the late-1990s, influenced by past theatrical rockers like Kiss, Alice Cooper, and Motley Crue--and not since the days of those bands had religious and parental groups despised a rock group so much. Of course, the resulting controversy endowed Marilyn Manson with publicity and album sales in equally vast amounts. Although Manson talked about retiring from the music biz after the release of his 2004 album, he came back refreshed in 2007 with EAT ME DRINK ME, inspired by his crumbling marriage to Dita Von Teese.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.113) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "Manson's mix of fetish, goth, hedonism and metal still jells on these tracks and others."
Spin (p.109) - "[I]t's Manson's malleability that makes him so universally useful....Awesome..." - Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly (p.120) - "[T]he eviscerating early hits remain freshly unsettling..."
Uncut (p.162) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[I]t's his own fantasias that show his truly subversive side..."

Title Note

Personnel: Marilyn Manson (vocals); Tim Skold (guitar, bass guitar); Madonna Wayne Gacy (keyboards); Ginger Fish (drums).

Recording information: 1996 - 2004.

There couldn't be a more fitting title for this collection of gruesome grooves by modern rock's most paradoxical artist; it implies the cataclysm of a national tragedy, and still completely understates the impact this band has had in shaping the face of popular music. How could anyone forget the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar" and his macabre circus? Once a Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) protege, the visually intense Marilyn Manson quickly eclipsed his mentor with releases that peered beneath the facade of American life, revealing a seedy, grotesque, and often disturbing reality.

Considering that Marilyn Manson never pandered to the Top 40 set, LEST WE FORGET can't rightfully be dubbed a greatest-hits record; it serves more as a reminder of the man and his group's 10-year blitz of ghoulish, gory, industrial rock. Manson was always a fan of satire, and covers of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and "Tainted Love" offer sinister results. The 2004 collection also features a spooky new take on Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus," as well as an array of dark favorites culled from each release by the man himself, including "The Dope Show," "Tourniquet," and "The Beautiful People." Take one look at the disc's photos (or the uber-graphic bonus DVD available on some versions) and have Marilyn Manson burned in your mind forever.

Manson picks the very best out of the depths of his career and puts them into one dark, metal packed CD that is better than anything Ive heard. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
