Data Insight

Brian Warner wrote all the lyrics and Tyler Bates composed all the music, with Bates producing the album and engineering, recording, and mixing it. The collaboration deepened from The Pale Emperor, returning industrial and glam textures to songs such as 'We Know Where You F*cking Live' and 'Kill4Me.' Bates handled the instrumental construction end to end while Warner concentrated on lyric and vocal, the same writing split that drove their previous record together.

Marilyn Manson's tenth album, produced by Tyler Bates. Continuing the heavier direction established by The Pale Emperor while returning to a more aggressive industrial sound, it debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200. The album features the title track and lead single 'We Know Where You Fucking Live.'
