Details: Amazon.ca Culled from the bands ten year, six album career, Lest we Forget: The Best of Marilyn Manson features some of the greatest rock anthems of the last decade. Opening with "The Love Song" from Holy Wood, it proceeds to the first of a handful of cover songs which have made it as singles. The decadent, beefed up version of Depeche Modes "Personal Jesus" may not vary much from the original but the band do it the appropriate Goth justice; "Tainted Love" adds a menacing, industrial-glam to the electric northern soul of Soft Cells version; and the one that broke them into the UK mainstream, "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics sounds as good as ever. So, they do a good cover but its really the fists in the air crowd-pleasing anthems that back up the bands iconic imagery. The high-energy signature tune, "Beautiful People" and tracks like "Disposable Teens" or "The Fight Song" typify the bands intelligent approach to rocknroll posturing. 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 in the world of Marilyn Manson. --Georgina Collins Product Description It has taken ten years, boys & girls to climb this ugly hill & these are the Songs of Golgotha. We have put together the best of what we have made & this is only a reminder that you can cut off the head but it only grows back harder. The band is in the studio, still growing & there is no sign of our knuckles healing. -MARILYN MANSON.
