I think it’s best sounding version of the album ever, really great pressing, no pops no clicks no surface noise

Sounds flawless; no clicks, pops, noise!

anybody else been stuck on backorder? tried to purchase on july 1st but nothings budged. no email, nothing.

This was totally a guilty pleasure of mine as a kid. I loved this band when I first discovered them, & this is a nice trip down memory lane. Amazing quality. Very LOUD for sure. 10/10 audiophile quality, imo.

New vinyl repress coming soon!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! https://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/mindless-self-indulgence/if

A great album for sure, but you'll notice as it progresses it starts to lose track of what is truly MSI and starts devolving into semi-repetitive songs that are catchy enough not to bore you for too long. Definitely marks the end of one of their better eras, but there are still gems in this tracklist. Notably some favorites like "Mark David Chapman", "Prescription", and "Issues" are really some standouts here. Though as much complaining as I want to do, at the end of the day it's MSI and being an elitist over a band that is self aware of how insane they are is pointless. Would definitely recommend for newer fans, it's a good gateway drug.

Such a fantastic album, even if the OG Mindless fans will argue with you til you're blue in the face. Such a fun and high energy listen. Hopefully they'll repress this on vinyl, and maybe some colored vinyl too!! ARE YA LISTENIN JIMMY.

anyone know how many copies there were of this release? looks real nice, what is the sound quality like? thinking of nabbing one when i get some money.

This is where I stopped listening to MSI. It seems like they just sold out completely, giving the fans who loved them for what made them unique the finger. Granted, they do go back to their old ways on tracks like "Revenge" and "Mark David Chapman," but it's just not enough. They still make the same jokes on selling out and making it big, only it seems to me like they aren't jokes anymore. Songs range from excuses to talk dirty (Issues, Get It Up) to contradictions of their older style. (When I hear "Lights Out," I start to wonder if they were just claiming not to condone violence to keep from getting sued) "Mark David Chapman" is indeed a profound track, but placing it on this album makes it sound like the pot calling the kettle black, a three-minute-long raspberry to their olden days. All in all, when the title and art are unequivocally punk, you kind of expect the album to be as well.
How stupid of me to think so.
