How I Learned To Stop Giving A Shit and Love Mindless Self Indulgence

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.

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.

I went to see u guys live in SF May 3rd I would like to go see u guys live again they did play songs from this album. I like it more live then on CD u guys should make a live version of this album they will be very coolI give to album a 5 star ratingu need to download(Sex For homeworkSeven Minutes In HeavenLast Gay SongAngelIAM Not Here TO Make Any Friends(All Bonus Tracks)Bonus Track on Album is Logical Song

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.

I was really excited to hear this but was kind of disappointed when I did. Not as edgy or original sounding as the earlier stuff. Some of the tracks grow on you but I still skip through probably a third of this album. Favorites are Anonymous, Witness and It Gets Worse.

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 came earlier than expected, sealed and undamaged.

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.

Happy with my purchase. Great service, and the time for to come in a long wait, but also having to consider the Covid-19 as of currently with everything. Thank you and really enjoy my album 🤗

j'ai reçu le cd en très bon état avec un bon son :) pour ceux qui ont aimé leurs albums précédents celui ci est génial je le recommande

i love this album! i wasnt really a fan of their previous stuff,apart from a handful of good songs on each album the rest just seemed too erratic and samey to warrant buying an album.but i heard a few songs from this,risked buying the album and the difference is incredible.theyve taken everything thats them (the genre-defying rock/industrial/rap/funk/punk/metal sound, the humour and extremely catchy choruses) and channeled it into the perfect collection of fun,chunky,polished,singalong anthems.theres no filler tracks or lost sense of direction here.its just such a shame theyre relatively unknown and so underrated,people dont know what theyre missing.in a scene that is full of angsty/serious bands MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE are a breath of fresh air,putting some fun back into the heavy alternative scene.more albums like this.please!!!

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.

このバンドは独自の音楽性を持つユニットなので、人を選びます。しかしはまった側の人間にとっては捨て曲がない！本当に満足できます。
