Lest We Forget: The Best of is a best of compilation 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. 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 song "Coma White" was covered by the band Apoptygma Berzerk.

Manson has been quoted as having called Lest We Forget the band's "farewell album"; however the band has since made another studio album titled "Eat Me, Drink Me", to be released in June 2007.

* The video for "(s)AINT" on the Japanese deluxe edition would be uncut if it were not for 2 seconds worth of material: at the 2:07 and 2:10– 2:11 in the video, it shows a vagina, and is blurred out due to Japanese laws, regarding nudity in video.

The DVD contains several easter eggs. There is a video of Manson's autopsy which can be found by highlighting his crotch in the special features menu. There is also the making of the mOBSCENE video (otherwise found on a limited edition single) and 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 combo or just the CD edition of Lest We Forget off of Marilyn Manson's Official Website also received a Bonus DVD featuring the "Uncut, Unrated, 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 distributed overseas and still is on all R-rated versions in Australia.
