Lest We Forget: The Best Of

Lest We Forget: The Best Of is the first greatest hits album by Marilyn Manson. A new song was recorded to promote the album, a cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus". The album was released at the end of September 2004. The inside booklet contains previous photo-shoots and several new pictures to hint at Manson's next era and musical/lyric direction.[citation needed] The album cover itself was taken from one of Marilyn Manson's watercolors, titled "Experience is The Mistress of Fools". The deluxe edition (now out of print) includes a DVD containing most of the band's music videos, excluding "(s)AINT" (although the Region 2 edition sold in the UK features this video, uncut, and the Japanese edition features a slightly edited version), "Tainted Love", and "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes". The album was certified Gold in USA and was supported with the band's Against All Gods Tour. Manson has been quoted as having called Lest We Forget the band's "farewell album"; however the band has since made three additional studio albums, Eat Me, Drink Me (2007), The High End of Low (2009) and Born Villain (2012).
