| − | '''''Portrait of an American Family''''' is the first album by [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], released on July 19, 1994 by [[Interscope Records]]. It was initially called ''The Manson Family Album'', but was retitled prior to release. It is the first and only Marilyn Manson studio album that bassist [[Gidget Gein]] plays on. Gein was fired for his drug problem after the production and [[Twiggy Ramirez]], a friend of [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]], was inducted into the band. Ramirez did not play bass on the album contrary to popular belief.

| − | ==Trivia==
| + | |
| − | * 2 minutes and 29 seconds into "[[Get Your Gunn]]", there is a sample of a crowd murmuring and a gun shot. This is the audio from the conference in which Bud Dwyer committed suicide in front of an audience during a press conference.
| + | |
| − | * Although there are technically no hidden tracks on the album, there is some additional audio a few seconds after the end of last track, "[[Misery Machine]]", involving a concerned mother who is calling the band's hotline in regards of removing her son's name from the mailing list — threatening to use legal action.
| + | |
| − | * Bassist [[Gidget Gein]] was fired after the production of this album.
| + | |
| − | * Daisy Berkowitz helped compose music for all of the songs except "[[Prelude (The Family Trip)]]" and "[[Sweet Tooth]]".
| + | |
| − | * Roli Mosimann was the original producer of the album, however due to the direction the album was taking the band felt his production was not what they were looking for and [[Trent Reznor]] took over the producer role while Mossiman was credited as the engineer. Copies of the version produced by Mosimann are still around on the internet and sound a lot like the older [[Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids]] cassettes.
| + | |
| − | * "[[Snake Eyes and Sissies]]" was originally planned as the lead single but never released; "Get Your Gunn" was released instead.
| + | |
| − | * The album's original title was ''The Manson Family Album''.
| + | |
| − | * The hidden track at the end of "[[Misery Machine]]" is audio taken from the 1977 film ''Desperate Living''.
| + | |
| − | * The phrase "We gotta ride to the Abbey of Thelema" in the song "Misery Machine" is a reference to Aleister Crowley's ''Abbey of Thelema'', which was used as the Headquarters from which the doctrines of Thelema would be spread throughout the world.
| + | |
| − | * The song "[[Filth]]" was deleted from the album prior to release, and has never been officially released.
| + | |
| − | * The track "[[My Monkey]]" borrows certain lyrics from a Charles Manson song called "Mechanical Man"; the lyrics of "My Monkey" are credited simply to "Manson".
