Today's Metal Track is Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson. This is the title track off the band's 1998 album Mechanical Animals. This was the album that made me a fan and I still think it is the band's best to date.
The lyric "You were my mechanical bride" is a direct reference to Marshall McLuhan's critical study of popular culture titled The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man. This 1951 study was very critical of the media and its impacts on North American Culture.
