Advantages: Mad, bad buy it you'll be glad!
Disadvantages: swear words a plenty, not the sort of role model you want for your kids

...to listen to this… MM – Lest We forget This is quite a hard rock album; I got the special edition version and cost me £11.99 for 19 tracks. It is also a parental advisory album – meaning it has explicit language. It has too! The style of the majority of the music is aimed at the Skater fraternity, but for me this does not detract anything. It also has 3 (in my humble opinion) very good covers from the 80’s & 90’s these being: - Depeche Mode’s ... Read review

Advantages: Glammed up, soul gone, gothed out
Disadvantages: Songs are like a dead atheist

...the dark. What we get with Lest We Forget is a fixation with British synth-pop and an obsession with upsetting Middle America, admirable, but not something to build a career on. The highlights are the cover versions (never a good sign) with Tainted Love, Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This), and the recent Satanised glam of Personal Jesus. He manages to drag these down to the gothic depths with sub Limp Bizkit-esque riffs replacing the poppiness ... Read review

Advantages: Briliant,Inspiring,Truely the one of the best albums yet.
Disadvantages: None that i can think of.

Lest We Forget or The Best Of was released in 2003 and it was my first Marilyn Manson album I ever purchased and by then on it's has to be one of my favourite albums that Marilyn Manson has so far done. It includes such tracks as Personal Jesus, mOBSCENE, The Fight Song, Tainted love, Disposable teens and The Nobodies. There are another 11 tracks as well as these and those you who may purchase the Special Edition album there is also another two ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Album
Disadvantages: None

I have liked Marilyn Manson for a long time but there have always only ever been half (at most) the songs on each album that I like. This album however does not contain a single track that I dont like. You can feel the base in songs like Mobscene or you can tone down slightly with his renditions of Tanited Love and Sweet Dreams (which I have to say is my favorite track on the album). If you have never listened to Marilyn Manson before but are ... Read review

Advantages: a great mix of his best songs, great lyrics and cover art
Disadvantages: only one new song.

This is one of my favorite of his CDs because it is pretty much a mix of all his best songs, with a new song "personal jesus" (which is a remake, along with a few others on the CD). I believe It is one of his best in my opinion, since most of the songs on it hit number one on the charts. I also love the cover od the CD. He painted it himself using water colors and also some Absinthe. I prefer this CD rather than the last mix CD he did called "holywood" ... Read review
