By the Numbers
Brian Warner, as Marilyn Manson, wrote the lyrics while bassist Twiggy Ramirez co-wrote much of the music, including 'The Dope Show' with Manson, and keyboardist Madonna Wayne Gacy contributed to tracks such as 'Rock Is Dead.' Michael Beinhorn produced the album with Manson and Sean Beavan, steering the band toward a 1970s glam-rock sound that broke from the industrial textures of Antichrist Superstar. The record is the second chapter of the trilogy and splits its songs across two personas, the alien rock star Omega and Manson's own Alpha perspective.
Marilyn Manson's third album, produced by Michael Beinhorn. Departing from the industrial metal of its predecessors, Mechanical Animals embraces glam rock and art rock influences, with Manson presenting an androgynous alien persona named 'Omega.' It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
