Culled from the band's ten year, six album career, ILest we Forget: The Best of Marilyn Manson/I features some of the greatest rock anthems of the last decade. Opening with "The Love Song" from IHoly Wood/I, it proceeds to the first of a handful of cover songs which 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 do it the appropriate Goth justice; "Tainted Love" adds a menacing, industrial-glam to the electric northern soul of Soft Cell's 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 it's really the fists in the air crowd-pleasing anthems that back up the band's iconic imagery. 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. While many may have all the albums already, ILest We Forget/I 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. --IGeorgina Collins/I

This would make a superb introduction to Marilyn Manson's work, and will surely send any newbie scrambling for the back catalogue. If you've already got all the studio albums, there are several reasons to buy this anyway...
br /
br /1. "The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell" is on it (stupendous song only previously included on the soundtrack to Spawn I think)
br /2. The song ordering works very well indeed, it's as if Mister Manson has recorded a compilation of his stuff for you. Which is nice.
br /3. MOST IMPORTANTLY...make sure you get a copy that comes with the free DVD. This gem of a disc includes every promotional vid the band ever did, which is just fantastic. I hadn't seen any of the first album vids before. There's even one when Manson still had eyebrows...back in the days when he was a handsome devil indeed!
br /
br /Oh, and the accompanying photos of Manson are excellent, but it would have been nice to have included some of Twiggy, surely? One even? And when did the name "Marilyn Manson" stop meaning the whole band and start just meaning the singer? Maybe you should ask Alice Cooper...

I have to admit this album sealed my love for Marilyn's music, having never bought any of his earlier albums, I was tempted to buy this one after hearing his version of "Tainted Love" and "Sweet Dreams" and seeing the videos on the music channel and boy was I bowled over!brThis album is full of catchy lyrics and heavy beats, do not be put off by this guys scary image, his songs are pure class and you definately do not have to be a goth to appreciate his work!brBuy it and be very pleasantly suprised!
Lest We Forget...The Incredible Dark Masterpiece of Manson October 3, 2004

This album is one of those true to the fans' desires, including some of the best tracks Manson has ever recorded. After years of following his music, listening to his "classics" for the first time on this Best of album is similar to the thrill of discovering him for the first time.pThe range of songs selected for this album traces through several of his albums, with furious songs like "Get your Gunn" and "Irresponsible Hate Anthem", the dark hearted social comments within "The Fight Song", "The Love Song", "The Dope Show", "The Beautiful People" and "Disposable Teens" and through to the greedily received songs from last year's album "The Golden Age of Grotesque" with "mOBSCENE", "This is the New Sh*t" and "(s)AINT.pIncluding possibly the best covers for any songs I've ever heard for "Tainted Love", "Sweet Dreams" and his newest cover release of "Personal Jesus", there is barely room for anything else to blow your mind with such a unique interpretation of music, but with a few extras thrown in, the album itself takes on it's own persona despite it "simply" being a Best of album.pThe Special Edition version of this album is incredible with 2 bonus tracks and an imagination-altering DVD of 21 of Manson's videos for the explosive songs he has given his morbid touch to. With videos of several of the songs on each of his 6 albums, including the controversial "Coma White" and the never seen before video for "(s)AINT (that needless to say will probably never show on any tv channel ever), it adds that dark magic shadow that all Manson fans will treasure to have within their grasp at all times.pThis is one album for anyone who has ever even been remotely caught in the blacklight headlights of Manson's songs. For new fans, for old fans, and for the spooky kids yet to come.

All of the greatest hits on one disc, featuring new single, the remake of "personal Jesus" which is even better then the remake of "tainted love" which also features on this album! Rip-roaring gothic music at its best! from "The Love Song" the album is set for more fantastic hits, each individually delicious and mOBSCENE.br If you are new to this genre and are looking for something to get you started, nothing is better than this, Nightwish is also advisable! The tracks have been carefully chosen and placed in perfect order. Marilyn Manson's music is so original and sinister and even if you are not a particular fan i think you could defintly appreciate what i am saying. He is a hugely successful artists and his band are so talented. So Many songs to choose from, listen to them all and begin to appreciate one of the best in its genre!
THE DOPEST SHOW ON EARTH! January 10, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a great place to start with an absolute icon of heavy music, he is a pioneer in the field, he has never conformed or backed down in his message of free speech and liberation for all.brSure, you may think he has a few sacrificed virgins beneath his bed, but having met him, hes just an ordinary lovely chap.brThat aside, he is the greatest rock icon this side of AD.brIts all here, the seedy covers given the Manson magic touch, from the nightmarish Sweet Dreams through to the hugely successful Tanited Love and finally a near revelatory cover of Depeche Modes Personal Jesus.brThe fist-pumping furious anthems are all here, Manson screaming like a demented, pissed off preacher holding sway over a generation of jaded and angry teens. His glammy, posturing, and highly artistic ventures into the bizarre continue with amazing songs such as The Dope Show and Rock is Dead however, Im slightly dissappointed that Coma White and I dont like the drugs... arent on this album.brA churlish point considering that this album is full to the brim with incredible, dark, brooding and intelligent rock; the biting, hateful lyrics underpinned by grinding, heavy brain smashing guitar work and a driving beat.brHis finest moments are all here : The Dope Show, The Fight Song, Disposable Teens, Tourniquet, Rock is Dead, mObscene, and of course, it would be criminal not to mention the song, the anthem, the single that really got us listening to Manson, The Beautiful People. If I were to sum up this album in one word..actually I cant..try this: absolutelyincrediblyundeniablybrilliantlyanthemicallyotherworldyGenius.brManson:
