Free Music Review: I like my coffee black - just like my metal!
Hit: 5 Stars
Mindless Self Indulgence certainly has its own sound and, when first listened to, I really didn't "get" what Frankenstein Girls was trying to do. A third and forth listen had many of the songs growing on me, and by the fifth listen I was hooked. There were well over twenty tracks to choose from, and all of those were songs - there wasn't an instrumental to be found. Combine that with the fact that every song had energy, lots of it, and it went from invasive to impressive when I drove around and we became friends.
Sadly, it took years, lots of them, to see something else come out.
More merrily, the album that came out, You'll Rebel to Anything, was something that really took to me right away.
One of the first things you should do to understand Mindless Self Indulgence is to look one of their videos up online or, better yet, to find a snippet of concert footage. I say that because they aren't really electronic or nu-punk or any of the other labels that are applied to them. Instead, they are a performance band and, during their sets, you can see every sound and accusation step out and come alive. The hyper pace of the album is good, too, and the new album is more refined and has far less songs. Still, what it does have are songs that really get the energy in motion and the mind clicking.
Seeing them perform really taught me how much I liked them; until then I only cast my gaze to the album passively, finding four songs of the ten that I really liked.
Granted, MSI is an acquired taste for a lot of people and the label, Metropolis-Records, doesn't help when trying to understand what they are. In some ways this possibly even hurts people; when you look at the label you think "EBM" and this is not the same thing that has been coming out forever. That said, you can easily find a video for Shut Me Up if you want to see if they are your type of band or not, and Metropolis-Records has snippets you can check out as well. The band is also really accessible - they have a home site, a page on almost every major venue online, and they give a lot back to their fans. This means you can always find more to see if this is what you want to listen to or not.
Personally, I recommend the band and the album on the condition that you check the out first. They have some pretty funny things to say, are really high energy, and do things that a lot of bands have forgotten along the way. The fan interaction alone, coupled with the ability to actually piece together something interesting, makes them more interesting than most of the supposedly grand bands in the now.
You'll Rebel to Anything Poster
MSI's music is a hybrid of Atari driven electronics with a venomous splash of ADD punk rock. There are three different versions of this release: a 10 track explicit version with a video for "You'll Rebel To Anything", an 11 track clean version with a video of "Diabolical", and an 11 track extra heavy double vinyl version. The clean and vinyl formats have two entirely different bonus tracks and all three have their own individual artwork, so true collectors will think nothing of owning them all. "MSI are, to me, how punk rock should sound in the 21st century: abrasive, brilliant, and sounding like no one else"--Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly). "...one of the most creative and genre-swirling outfits on the scene"--Serj Tankian (System Of A Down).Alternative Rock Music CDs
