If

by: Mindless Self Indulgence

Release Date April 28, 2008
Ordered this directly from the distributor (hence why I have it before the UK release date), and it truly is a brilliant set to have. The artwork is top-notch (no surprise, coming from artist Jhonen Vasquez), it includes all of the art he did for the album (including the cover of the deluxe version) in high resolution quality and is worth buying just for this reason alone.

The album itself is pretty good, though no-where near as good as YRTA, FGWSSS or Tight, but passable, despite a few throwaway tracks. The overall arrangement seems a lot better as well, with a reworked track listing spread across two Vinyl disks.

The main complaint I have is how, unfortunately the vinyl is treated as a second-hand product by the producers ... Read More:

You'll Rebel to Anything: Remastered

by: Mindless Self Indulgence

Release Date November 05, 2007
I am totally obsessed with these guys right now!
Its rock but you can dance to it, with a load of cursing & nasty, vulgar lyrics that give MSI a crude edge.
My favourite track has to be Stupid MF, when I first heard the song I presumed the lyrics were being sung in a different language! Shut Me Up & Straight To Video are great also.
A must for rockers who want something heavy & fun.

Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy

by: Mindless Self Indulgence

Release Date February 22, 2000
I love this band- they completely change the way you look at music, these guys are totally underground and not very well known in the UK but this particular album [packs a punch of listening that will wake you up and get you moshing. I've always thought this is one of the top ten in my collection. Prodigy, Pitchshifter and Instrumental Drum and Bass fans will LOVE this one!!

Never Wanted to Dance [Us Import]

by: Mindless Self Indulgence

Release Date March 18, 2008
Let me start off by saying that I do enjoy the tracks on this single (particularly the birthday massacre mix) and that they are all quality mixes based off one of the best songs off of If. However, there are two very good reasons why you shouldn't really bother buying this CD.

First of, if you spend an extra fiver, you can go and buy their new album, IF, which has all these tracks as bonus tracks! And you get the rest of the album anyway, which is money well spent.

Secondly, the cover art is just plain lazy, it is almost exactly the same as the art for their singles of On It, Pay for It and (It's Got) Issues, which, in my opinion, is just poor. I mean, cover art is half the package, and when all the songs are already available on ... Read More:

Shut Me Up (The Remixes +3)

by: Mindless Self Indulgence

Release Date January 21, 2008
This is a truly brilliant CD, released at the high-point of MSI's career. Featuring three remixes and the original demo of 'Shut Me Up', it goes above and beyond by providing us with two new songs, and two remixes of their other hit, 'straight to video'.

Admittedly, the STV mixes, while good, are largely forgettable, but the SMU mixes are all quality, particularly the first, which is a slightly tweaked, and much harder hitting update of the original.

Of the two new songs, 'Adios Amigos' is an instant classic, great for playing either on your own or with a couple of like-minded MSI fans. The other track, a cover of Biggie Smalls 'Big Poppa', is an obvious attempt at recreating the success of their mind-blowing 'Bring the Pain' cover. ... Read More:

Pay for It

by: Mindless Self Indulgence

Release Date July 08, 2008
There are so many problems with this single; I hardly know where to start. I suppose the first problem I have is the cover art, which is almost identical with the other two singles they released simultaneously (On It and (It's Got) Issues). I mean, why? Seeing as the content of the three could more than likely be pressed onto one full-length EP anyway, why release them separately? Oh wait, money.

And on the topic of money; £10.50 for a SINGLE? WHY? Especially when you can get the full-length album the song is from for £9? What were they thinking?

The assumption behind this singles existence is clearly hoping that people will buy it solely for the bonus track at the end, but this strategy is heavily reliant on said track not sucking. ... Read More:
