"Mindless" is right... August 11, 2005
29 out of 93 found this review helpful

Blah! I know this review is going to be EXTREMELY unpopular. I can see the soon-to-be avalanche of "Not Helpful" votes cascading my way. But has that ever stopped me before?

Yes, popular music, for the most part, sucks. Typical hip-pop, emo, and pop garbage spoon-fed to the lowest common denominator, happily and mindlessly gobbling it up like the lemmings that they are. But I gotta tell ya... this ain't much better, if at all. Yes, this is supposed to be the "anti-hip" sound, but this... what IS this anyway?

I'm not some old college professor who listens to Mozart. I'm just a 19-year-old kid who is really dissapointed with, and ashamed of, his generation.

What is wrong with this album? For god's sake, people, grow up. Every song follows the same format: whiny lyrics, psuedo-techno beat, and, of course, the interminable, inexplicable "DA-DA-DA-DA!!" thrown into every macabre audio assault. Why they thought that would appeal to anyone is anybody's guess, I suppose... and, let's not forget the one brilliant song: "I Hate Jimmy Page". Jimmy Page has more talent in one of his fingers than these hacks do in their whole entire bodies.

I guess I can summarize this album as "Ballroom Blitz", with half the talent, none of the catchiness, and irritating "techno" beats thrown in, to appeal to the "ultra-hip" crowd. And I know the same people (you know, the thick-glasses wearing, ciggarette smoking, coffee house frequenting, computer geeks) will attack me and write hate reviews about me, calling me a "neo maxi zoom dweebie" or some damn thing, but WAKE UP, these people are honestly no better than the swooning, over-excitable, dim-witted, superficial lowest-common-denominator teenybopper/preppie ilk. Dammit, people, pay no attention to trends OR anti-trends! DEFINE YOUR DAMN SELF! NEXT?

Wow, what a crazy ass record this is. I bought this CD purely on basis of the reviews i found here on Amazon. I was bored of what was out there and just looking for something different. It didn't have to be Rock/Rap/Soul/Indie.....just something different, any style. Well my friends I found it in this wondrous power packed record. The Album title alone grabbed my interest & so i gave it a listen. 'Dicks are for my friends' is one of the funniest, catchiest sing-along songs I've heard in the last 10 years. The whole album is full of subversive, nasty little lyrical snide-remarks & expletives which make no apologies to the listener. So you either go with it or not. I don't see any half-ways here. For me I find the whole album a refreshing blast of hot-air, bursting with the sort of attitude Punk pretended to have back in 77'. I cannot categorize their sound either. Let's see 'Jungle/Rap/Rock/Techno' - Ahhhh who cares. I'm 42 years old and I suppose I'm too lame to be listening to stuff like this but for me it's a drop of fresh air in amongst the dross that's out there right now. So check it out. Listen to some sound samples. The songs themselves probably aren't much longer than the sound samples. Short, sharp & fun. Check it out.

If you took some tapes by the Lords of Acid, Devo, Mr. Bungle, Danielle Dax and Carter U.S.M., chopped them into little bits and threw them around the room and glued them back together... you'd probably end up with a sticky mess of glue and tape that would be totally worthless.

But you'd still have a good time if you were listening to Mindless Self Indulgence's "Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy" while you did it.

I bought this CD when I was 14, after hearing a few songs off of Napster (remember that??). Shortly after the purchase I saw them live and this just reinforced my then- (and now) opinion of Mindless: they are an amazing band.

I recently broke this record out, seeing as it had been about a year since I'd given it a serious listen. Truth be told, I think I like them more NOW. This is probably in part because I'm older (18) and because I can now appreciate the punk rock nature of this band, something I gave no thought to at 14. At that tender, stupid age, I was completely and utterly entranced in the terrible, TERRIBLE nu-metal scene. Korn was my favorite band. I had terrible taste. I didn't even really know what punk rock was, let alone care that Mindless, while not having the generally accepted "punk" sound, is one of the few TRUE punk bands in existence today.

Do not listen to the idiot below...Mindless sounds nothing like Limp Bizkit (that would turn me off if I read something like that, and I want you to BUY this record, my dear reader). He is ignoring the punk rock influence (I really do hate to keep bring this up, but it needs to be said), which mostly comes out in the guitar riffs...listen close to those, by the way; you'll hear some rather intelligent and well-written stuff...

Mindless is a funny band, sure, but don't let people over-exaggerate; they are here to serve a purpose. Read the booklet: they don't want racists, homophobes, fundamentalists, or any other intolerant people to buy their records, wear their tee-shirts, or come to their shows...they thank culture revolutionists for raising the bar...they're sexually ambiguous...what I'm getting at is that MSI are here to challenge people. Their sense of irony is ridiculously sharp, and their intelligence level is higher than people think. Sure, there are adolescent jokes and the like, but they ultimately come off not as a stupid ICP-like band, but more like honor roll, art-school smartasses being as provocative as can be. To say that MSI is PURELY predicated on a joke, like the guy below says, takes away their importance.

If you want a different kind of punk experience, pick up this record.

this is just plain odd,but dont let that discourage you because thats what makes it stick out.msi has to be THE craziest band ive ever heard,i mean they labeled their music as "industrial jungle pussy punk" which in all reality is probably the best label for it.really crazy and funny lyrics and extremely fast songs that last from about a minute and a half to a little over three minutes and in damn near all the songs they seamlessy flow into different beats and riffs about 10-15 times every minute and the singer(little jimmy urine)makes some of the oddest sounds with his voicebox,almost sounds kinda like a turkey gobble sometimes.anyway all the songs on here are really addictive and if youre not a follower or like experimental music that doesnt sound like korn or anything youve ever heard then check this out-later
