MARILYN MANSON - THE FIGHT SONG

Another European single!  This time, Marilyn Manson's 'The Fight Song'!  This is the first of a 2-Disc set and also came with collectible Tarot cards with Manson and band members posing as figures from the Major Arcana cards in a standard tarot deck.  My particular copy came with the Emperor, Fool, Devil and Death cards.

Although there are 3 tracks listed on this disc, the third is actually a multimedia track you can only play on a computer.  Therefore, it doesn't count towards the running time on the disc and allows the song to be counted on the Euro charts.

I would comment to say 'The Fight Song' is standard Manson fare, but it's more accurate to say, it's standard fantastic Manson fare!  This is one of his good songs and I quite love it.  The second track is Slipknot's remix of the track and although they sorta dropped the bottom out of the tempo, it's a pretty good mix.  The multimedia track is the music video for 'Disposable Teens'.

Usually, these first discs in multi disc UK and Euro sets are the ones I find the least value in.  Especially when the additional track is an edit, mix or another album track.  However, in this case, there's all kinds of added value.  The remix is a bit of a cop-out but the addition of the multi media track and the collectible tarot cards makes this an awesome release and one I seriously enjoy owning!  Like other European and UK singles this disc comes housed in a slim case.

My final words:  EXTREMELY COOL MANSON SINGLE WELL WORTH YOUR TIME IN TRACKING DOWN.
