Marilyn Manson: Lest We Forget (The Best Of)

Reviewed by SCOTT KARA

Herald rating (* * *)

Marilyn Manson gives us a cracker greatest hits, but nowadays packages like this are nothing without extras. Early Manson songs still wreak of all the scandal and illicit behaviour they incited in the mid-90s, but in later years the danger has subsided somewhat and it shows here. However, although he's mellowed, the songs are still great.

New tracks: None.

Key tracks: Early classics like Tourniquet, The Beautiful People and Get Your Gunn are still threatening. Also check newer tracks like mOBSCENE and Dope Show, and the sexy - in a dominatrix kind of way - version of Soft Cell's Tainted Love.
