Mindless Self Indulgence’s fourth studio album If is renowned for its energetic and provocative style. Originally released in 2008, the album features a total of 15 tracks, including the popular songs “Never Wanted To Dance”, “Lights Out”, “Prescription”, and “Get It Up”. Although the vinyl album has been out of print since its release, it remains a fan favorite.
The album is a unique fusion of various genres, such as punk, electronic, industrial, hip-hop, and pop. The fast-paced, high-energy beats and aggressive, controversial, and often humorous lyrics combine to create a sound that blends off-the-wall dark humor with frank depictions of excess. Tracks like “Revenge” and “Animal” highlight the band’s signature blend of punk, rock, and electronic dance beats, while songs like “Mark David Chapman” and “Mastermind” push the boundaries of taste and shock value.
Overall, If is a frenetic, provocative album that showcases Mindless Self Indulgence’s exceptional blend of musical genres.
