If you grew up in the 90's you remember the different PlayStation black disc bottoms. Well if you need a little nostalgia in your life, check out the latest album from Marilyn Manson.

Yes, that sound above many people would describe as the sound of their childhood. Now growing up, I was a Nintendo fanboy. So at this time, I was rocking a Nintendo 64. This does not mean I missed out on the fond memories of the original PlayStation. My best friend growing up had one and we spent many yours on that thing. To blowing each other up in some Twisted Metal or collecting crystals in Crash Bandicoot it was an amazing console.

If you played some of these games, you may have noticed it had a black bottom on it. They did this for two reasons, to prevent piracy and the discs would somehow read better as well. Well Marilyn Manson I guess, was a huge fan of these black looking discs because his latest album 'The Pale Emperor' took on the look.

Now I don't think Manson took the look because he loved his Sony console so much back in the day. A thermal texture was added to the black discs so that the heat generated from being spun now turns them white. As the CDs cools down, the black returns. The contrast between light and dark supposedly reflects the themes of 'The Pale Emperor'.

The album's art directors Hassan Rahim and Willo Perron had their production manager, Brian Schuman of Concord Music, source the CDs from Sony directly, meaning the hardware the duo worked with came from the exact same plant as the first PlayStation's discs.
