About This Is the New Shit

"This Is the New Shit" is a song by an American rock band Marilyn Manson. Written by Marilyn Manson, John 5 and Tim Sköld, with Manson and Sköld sharing co-production duties, it is the second track (referred to as the opening track, at one occasion) and second single from the band's fifth studio album, The Golden Age of Grotesque. It has several new industrial beats that Tim Sköld added when he joined the band as the bassist in 2002. It was the most successful song from The Golden Age of Grotesque following "mOBSCENE". The UK release features the band's cover of the Geto Boys' "Mind of a Lunatic." British band Goldfrapp produced a remix of the song featured as the second track on the UK release. In 2015, the Canadian DJ and record producer Rezz released the new official remix of the song. For its music video counterpart, an alternate recording was used with the lyrics "This is the new Hit'" and the song title reading "This Is the New Hit". more »
