You'll Rebel to Anything [Enhanced] [Explicit Lyrics]

Product Description
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).

Dang, shut up and like it will ya?.......2006-07-25

Okay.... gotta say it... SHUT YER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 'TIME TOTAL' OF THIS RECORD!!!!! You are all giving me a headache! Now, lets talk about HOW GREAT THIS ALBUM IS!!! Its what got me into MSI. Before I heard them, I DIDNT EVEN LIKE MUSIC. But when I took this cd from my friend and downloaded it to my comp, I literally fell in 'like'. Sure, it took me a few listen(s) to really get into it ((regarding the fact that I never really listened to a specific band before)) but ever since, I cant stop obessing! 'Shut Me Up' (the first song) is rawsum and to this day I can still listen to it twenty or more times in a row.

So, basically, this must be a GREAT/AWSOME/RAW album if someone like me ((like one of the pickiest people out there)) got into it. MSI is truly an addiction for me. After listening to them, I got FGWSSS, Straight to Video Single, and most of their other songs from cds like 'Tight' you cant find in most stores. Heck, Im listening to 'Thank God' right now. In fact, the other day I went to their concert!!!

All in all, if you are looking for something disturbingly freaky and original you can find it with MSI. Check this cd out dispite what other 'picky' people say. Who cares, I WOULDNT BE WRITING A REVIEW IF THEY WERENT THIS GREAT!!!!

this band sucks.......2006-07-11

my god what has the world come too....this bad is so called unique...hell thats becasue they suck worse than anyone else before them....total insult to rock/metal. This is pop.

Shite..........2006-04-18

If you like the whole new wave electro rock thing than listen to The Faint instead. Similar style of music without the crappy vocals.

Great album but very poor and underhanded marketing!.......2006-03-12

I'll break this review in to three parts. First, the review of the album itself. Second, the review of the tactics used by MSI and Metropolis Records to sell this album. Lastly, my advice on getting everything that should have been included on one album.

1. The review of the album:

Simply put, if you like previous MSI albums, Babyland or stuff like Korn you'll eat this up. It's another top notch hybrid electronic, punk/metal, lofi quasi-hip hop, quasi-post-industrial genre-bending album. I suppose this would have fallen in to the label "coldwave" circa mid-90's post-industrial labeling. It's not exactly coldwave, not exactly anything other than the sum of its influences, which seem to be mainly hip-hop, post-industrial and punk/metal. The highlights of the album are definitely "Shut Me Up" and "Stupid MF", although there isn't really a weak track here. Another bonus is a positively weird cover of Rush's "Tom Sawyer". Be sure to put the CD in your computer as there is a video for "You'll Rebel To Anything" (it's a neat collage of old 50's propaganda footage mixed with weird cartoons, vintage stock film interspersed with just general weirdness.)

2. Commentary about questionable gouging of consumer by label/band:

There is absolutely no reason for there to be three different versions of this album except to rip off the consumer. Period. In an interview Jimmy Urine said they released a clean version for people who couldn't buy the album in places like Wal-Mart. Who cares about Wal-Mart? For someone so outspoken and inspired by punk, it bothers me that he'd cave to pressures to release an edited version of anything, let alone an entire album. That leads me to believe it wasn't an effort to cater to the imbeciles who buy music at Wal-Mart but rather a flimsy excuse to release a different version of the album, with different artwork and different bonus tracks.

When I used to buy a lot of electro/industrial (circa mid-90's) I remember this type of crap burning the hell out of me. I'd buy the import of a particular artist (say, someone like Haujobb) and then a year or so later a domestic version would come out with bonus tracks. And it'd cost LESS to boot! So all the "early adopters" and people on the cutting edge would get burned over and over. I can't tell you how many CDs I bought like that when I used to buy a lot of obscure electro/industrial music. It's a trick in order to separate you from your money, nothing more. If they cared only about exposing underground music to a new audience then they'd simply license the album and release it exactly as it was originally in Europe. But I digress.

3. My advice:

Buy this explicit version, then download the bonus tracks "La-Di Da-Di" (bonus track on vinyl) and "Mic Commander" (bonus track on clean version) off teh intarweb and say fsck you to Metropolis Records/MSI for forcing us to buy three versions of the same album in order to get two extra tracks, different artwork and a bonus video (the clean version of this album has a "bonus rehearsal video for 'Diabolical'"). Alternately, if you feel like giving MSI more of your hard-earned money, you can at least get the track "Mic Commander" on iTunes Music Store by itself.

In summation, MSI are a great band and if you like punk, electro-industrial, metal with electronic influences (Fear Factory), hip-hop, nu-metal, coldwave/aggro-industrial (Ministry) then you'll probably totally dig this album.

Also, check out Jhonen Vasquez's video for "Shut Me Up" on myspace (or just do a google search for it). The ex-Johnny the Homicidal Maniac/Squee/Invader Zim/etc. mastermind pulls off one of the funniest videos in a long time.

What do you get when you steal a bulldozer then hunt down the band Atari Teenage Riot (*put tape over their mouths*) and squash then into mush, you scoop that mush up and toss it in a pot, very satisfying indeed but you need something else and so you're off again, next you happen along the world invader music group GWAR, and maybe not exactly what you were looking for but you think "what the heck", they try to fight back with their giant swords and huge phalluses but you put (*tape over their mouths*) run them down with ease leaving nothing but alien slime, You shovel their mutant sludge remains into your giant pot with ATR's bloody mush and then you take that home stir it all together and cook it on high, you like it but it's missing something so you track down and stock Marilyn Manson and Eminem until you're ready to strike and then you (*put tape over their mouths*) cut off their penises and testicles then take them home and throw those into the giant pot of stew just too add flavor, so what do you get? I don't know either but I bet its gross, smells bad, and there's no way I'd eat it!
But anyways, I like this CD (*uncensored*).

Also check out the band Psychic TV who are about to release a new album. Psychic TV's lead singer Genesis P-Orridge was the one who started industrial music with one of his other bands in the 70s then created the rave scene in the 80s in England before being Exiled from that country because of his (anti-)cult Temple of Psychick Youth.

**ALSO EVERYONE** I recommend checking out and listening to www.airamericaradio.com to stay informed about what's going on and have a few laughs also animated political cartoonist www.markfiore.com because I think we free thinkers need to be aware of what the American Fascists liars in Our Government, who claim religious superiority, are up to today before they bring back the Inquisition or ban our lifestyles and force theirs on us.

Censoring MSI I thought would really suck but the truth is it still sounds awesome and with more real lyrics in this cd not a hell of a lot is censored in the first place.

Different sound when censored.......2005-04-20

I got both the censored and uncensored versions, and actually to listen to them back to back, they have a different sound. Plus mic commander is a great track. It's really not worth it to buy both unless you are one of those people who had to have a copy of Tight for well over $60... Still if you aren't allowed to buy from anywhere except walmart, or you just need to hear the bonus track, this is a great cd.

Clean music can still be good!.......2005-04-19

Yeah, it kinda loses it's kick without the bad words, but it's still a great CD by one of the best bands out there. It's funny listening to them censor things that I didn't even know were obscenities. I was a little pissed at first with MSI for making me buy two albums just for one bonus track and one video, but the CDs were only 10 bucks each. You can get both for about the same cost as one crappy pop album of your choice.

And as for an actual review of the music, just look at the review of the un-cut version. It all applies, and the bonus track and video are great.
