Mechanical Animals
Mechanical Animals is Marilyn Manson's third full-length album, released on September 15, 1998. It was the #1 selling album for its first week of release, the first for Marilyn Manson's career. The album "tells a story" through its lyrics and music, similar to Manson's other albums and endeavors. Four singles were released off the album: "The Dope Show", "Rock Is Dead", "I Don't Like The Drugs(But The Drugs Like Me)" and only released promotional and with a video, "Coma White". It is Manson's worldwide best-seller. Despite its success, the album was marred by controversy and is notorious for its shocking imagery. Initial sales were extremely strong but it became virtually blacklisted when it became the scapegoat of the Columbine Shootings of 1999. THE DOPE SHOW
