Template:Best of album

Lest We Forget (The Best of) is a best of album by Marilyn Manson, released on September 28, 2004 by Interscope Records. A new song was recorded to promote the album, a cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus". The inside booklet contains previous photo-shoots and several new pictures hinting at Manson's next era and musical/lyric direction, despite the fact that Manson had been quoted as having called Lest We Forget the band's "farewell album". The singer has since called that claim inaccurate and indeed the band's sixth studio album, Eat Me, Drink Me, was released on June 5, 2007.

The now out of print deluxe edition includes a bonus DVD containing most of the band's music videos, excluding "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes", "Tainted Love" and "(s)AINT".

DVD easter eggs

  • The Holy Wood "autopsy" video can be found by highlighting Manson's crotch in the special features menu.
  • The 'Making of the "mOBSCENE"' video.
  • The performance version of the "Disposable Teens" video, which was shown on most television channels pre-watershed, because of the "disturbing" content in the original version.

(s)AINT bonus DVD

Consumers who ordered either the CD/DVD version or just the standard CD edition of Lest We Forget (The Best Of) from Marilyn Manson's official website also received a bonus DVD featuring the "uncut, unrated, and banned by the label," unreleased video for "(s)AINT". The music video was produced over two days in a Los Angeles hotel room and directed by Asia Argento. While presented as an exclusive the "(s)AINT" video was also available on some editions of Lest We Forget (The Best Of) distributed overseas and still is on all R-rated versions in Australia.
