Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Mechanical Animals' was released in January 1998, Marilyn Manson had cemented his status as a controversial figure in rock music, following the commercial success of 'Antichrist Superstar' in 1996. This album marked a shift towards a more polished sound and conceptually rich narrative, exploring Manson's alter ego, Omega, within a dystopian framework.
