Lest We Forget: The Best Of Reviews:
marilyn manson: best of CD. 
2009-11-20 - Some of Manson's best material is featured on this disc, with a few cover versions, like: Personal Jesus, and Sweet Dreams.
Good, but missing some key pieces
2006-05-11 - I have liked Manson for a long long time now. (I am actually over 13 y/o but too lazy to make a username and all) But when I picked up this album I expected there to be some songs on here that weren't, which deeply dissapionted me. I had definitely expected to see Coma White and (s)AINT. And I thought that maybe tracks like Man That You Fear, Spade, Dope Hat, Vodevil, The Golden Age of Grotesque, Antichrist Superstar, or Angel With The Scabbed Wings. I was absolutely shocked to not see Coma White or (s)AINT and was even more shocked to see The Reflecting God and Lunchbox taking up room on the CD. I realize others may like those songs, but I never thought them to be all that great. But there are some very good songs on this album. I'd still reccomend just buying all of his other CD's so you won't miss out. SID
The best of Manson! 
2006-04-17 - Marilyn Manson is a master at music imagery and rock and it truly shines in this two disc set. The first disc is a audio disc with some of Manson's biggest hits including 1994's Lunchbox from the Portrait of an American Family album, their breakthrough hit Sweet Dreams a cover of the Eurythmics version, The Beatiful People off of Antichrist Superstar, The Dope Show off of Mechanical Animals, the Nobodies off of Holy Wood, and mOBSCENE off of his latest release The Golden Age of Grotesque.
Manson's unique vocal style and the thrashing guitar hooks from gutarists like Daisy Berkowits and John 5 blend perfectly to create a sound that no other can duplicate. The songs range from anthems for kids being bullied everywhere in Lunchbox delving from Manson's painful and unique past to a song about drugs and how we use them to numb ourselves in The Dope Show. The lyrics at times are very dark but also are very upbeat. Anything but happy.
The second disc is a DVD of all of Manson's videos except for (s)aint, Personal jesus, and Astonishing Paranorma of the Endtimnes. It shows how Manson's look has changed throughout the years. In mOBSCENE we get to see Manson's enormously attractive burlesque queen wife Dita Von Teese. The videos can be shocking in that of Tourniquet and at times sad in Coma White but are basically what you would expect from Manson. All of his videos are unedited and raw. They give you a whole history of Manson's career throught videos.
Basically this set is a must have for any Manson fan. It will not disappoint. Trust me.
Jeez, people...
2006-02-27 - Alright, to everyone who thinks Marilyn Manson is the Spawn of Satan(excuse my chuckling, I'm Buddhist),you are mistaken! I saw an interview with Manson, who said "you know, I don't really beleive all that stuff I sing"(or something along those lines). He is NOT the antichrist, for those of you who beleive in such of a thing.If he beleived HALF the crap he sings, he would have killed himself years ago.
A very interesting breakthrough artist of the later 1990's 
2006-02-13 - When I was ten years old, Marilyn Manson's "Mechanical Animals" was topping the charts, but I didn't really understand nor care for him. I got this greatest hits album today to hear his work (I only knew about 4 or 5 of his songs). The album was pretty good. "rock is dead", "tainted love" and "the dope show" are pretty good, but the majority of the album isn't too much my thing. He is, however, an influential part of rock music history and I can see his talent. He is a little to negative and violent in my opinion, at least for such a small, skinny white person. Maybe he had a really really bad childhood...Anyway, I would recommend this album because none of his albums are really good at all besides this and maybe mechanical animals, which isn't too great besides a handful of songs (in my opinion).
