"God Money, I will do anything for you!" (NIN)

Eventually, it affects everyone: the rebels, the misfits, the punks, the kids from the neighborhood, the shock rocker - all those who have hammered their first album with foaming at the mouth, and driven by hatred of the shekel, the only contempt for the commercial music business had left and who swore to have never corrupted by the lure of success - they all are tame, if you give them enough money: The music industry gets each.

Five albums it took until even the former object of hatred of vigilantes on both sides of the Atlantic, the erstwhile 'most evil man in America', the man who in his autobiography presented himself and his work as a modern reincarnation of the Antichrist, until now just too Marilyn Manson sometime his earthly needs discovered that need to finance it: and chose the easiest step in this direction, and a best-of issued.

The rest is quickly told: Even if the songs are beyond any doubt, as in sg. Best-Ofs so often is precisely the case, they act, taken out of context of their parent albums, only half as strong, compiling acts carelessly, as usual, there is more of a "Most radio-Friendly Of" - Not even an exclusive cover a Depeche Mode song not.

"Lest We Forget", on this album we hear Manson again before he was replaced.
