Description
Mindless Self Indulgence (MSI) is an inflammatory band mixing influences of punk rock, hip hop and driving electronic music together to create an unrestrained sound. Since 1997, this band has developed a rabid following of hardcore fans in its wake with its music and the cult classic albums Tight, Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy, You'll Rebel To Anything, and If. As a matter of fact, if there is one certainty in this world, it's that MSI's fans are devoted to an almost fanatical level. Which is why Mindless Self Indulgence was able to hold it's own album hostage with a hugely successful kickstarter. Once the demands were met, the shadowy exchanges arranged, SWAT Teams were told to stand down, and Mindless Self Indulgence delivered the goods. With all of that out of the way, MSI now returns to Metropolis Records with the new album, How I Learned to Stop Giving a Shit and Love Mindless Self Indulgence. Chock full of trademark MSI goodness, the new record proves once again that Mindless Self Indulgence is the best, **** everybody else.

Like "IF" and "You'll Rebel To Anything" but more polished.
Love MSI's music. This album is reminiscent of "IF" and "You'll Rebel To Anything". You'll probably be disappointed if you were expecting a "Frankenstein Girls" style album.If I could describe the band's sound in a word, it would be..."Loud", "Sexy", or, fittingly, "Mindless", because it's nice to just turn it up and lose yourself in it. MSI's lyrics are offensive and often highly unethical, yet there is a sarcastic, narcissistic tongue-in-cheek-ness to it, along with simply great music, which causes it to fairly consistently be my favorite band. The title is fitting for me as well. Before this album I was always embarrassed about liking them, but I've finally learned to stop giving a s*** and love Mindless Self Indulgence. ;)This album was crowdfunded on kickstarter, which is pretty neat too.

For once, a band that gets good again
Truly a lot better than their previous release. If you liked You'll Rebel to Anything, you'll like this album too. Similar themes and style. Seriously makes the previous release look bad. Overall solid. Brought back a lot of the blatantly offensive qualities of the old music that IF just ditched. On a lot of the tracks, the lyrics are once again clever, rather than just filler like I felt a lot of IF was, leaving it forgettable. However if you are looking for a throwback to Frankenstein Girls, this is not it, MSI have moved past the 1:30 explosions of offensiveness, and I guess we have to as well.

WAY better than 'If"
Finally, a MSI album I truly enjoyed once again! I fell in love with them around the Frankenstein Girls phase and bought everything they came out with. Then "IF" happened.... Ugh... *shudders*. BUT! Now back with more flavor! This album was more on par with the pre-IF titles. Not the best IMHO, but still a worthy listen. If you are new to MSI, I'd pick up You'll Rebel To Anything or Frankenstein Girls first though.

Yesssss
I really like having hard copies of albums. Even though I had already gotten this on iTunes I got the hard copy anyway. I really like MSI and really like this album. It arrived quickly, unopened, and with zero problems. Score.

It'll grow on you.
The first time I heard this MSI album I was very iffy on it. To say the least I wasn't pleased it was not what I had in mind. But then I listened to it through a couple more times. It's quickly become one of my favorite, if not my favorite MSI albums.

My new favorite MSI album
I have been listening to this album for weeks and I'm still not sick of it. I first heard some of these songs when their tour came to Cleveland. Favorite tracks are "Witness", "Casio", "Stalkers" and I really like the Supertramp cover of "The Logical Song". This album I consider a must buy.

Der ganz normale Wahnsinn
Mindless Self Indulgence waren und sind auf jeden Fall "mal was anderes". In ihrer Heimat, den USA, sind sie wesentlich bekannter als hierzulande, und ihr letztes Album ist derzeit immer noch lediglich als Import erhältlich. Diese Band kombiniert Punkrock, Electro, Pop und Hip Hop zu einer eigenwilligen, gewöhnungsbedürftigen, aber definitiv originellen Mischung. Auf "How I Learned..." sind die Songs etwas straighter und eingängiger als auf dem Vorgänger "If", aber der typische Wahnsinn ist nach wie vor präsent. Die Texte von Frontmann Jimmy Urine sind ein Drahtseilakt zwischen intelligent und infantil, unterhaltsam sind sie jedoch allemal. Man muss sich mit diesem Stil erst einmal anfreunden, da er in keine gängige Schublade passt und zunächst etwas konfus wirkt. Vor dem Kauf rate ich dringend zum Reinhören. Ich habe mich auch nicht sofort für Mindless Self Indulgence begeistern können. Der Titel dieses Albums "How I Learned To Stop Giving A S*** and Love Mindless Self Indulgence" bringt aber gut auf den Punkt, was passiert, wenn man erst einmal Gefallen an der Musik gefunden hat.
