The thing I’ve always loved about MSI, besides that their music must be what comes out of Trent Reznors minds when he does acid, is their message:

"A warning for those of you lazy self absorbed and/or just plain inattentive parents: All the censorship in the world won't make up for bad parenting. If your child is more influenced by our music than by Mommy & Daddy, both you and your offspring have much bigger problems than our lyrics. So before you go hauling us or any other artist into court, look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you did the best you could, because if you're considering taking us to court, you didn't."

I’m often tempted to shove that in my folks faces, but I’m too nice for that. The actual album follows the usual MSI formula: Drugs, Sex, Ponies, and almost as many swear words as the south park movie all bundled together in an album less that a half hour in length. But YRTA is more solid and has more lasting power as an album that MSI’s previous release, “Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy” which boasts a sticker that say “Be the first one on your block to throw away this album.” Anyway, highlights on the album include the cerebral “Shut Me Up”, music video directed by Jhonen Vasquez creator of invader zim and jthm, and a cover of Rush’s “Tom Sawyer”. The Cd was recently re-released with a different cover then the “game cross” seen above, containing the bonus tracks: Mic Commander, La-Di-Da-Di, Make Me Cum, and Wack! Overall, I think it will be the best album MSI will make, although they’ve had better songs (See “Faggot” “Tight” & “I Hate Jimmy Page”). Don't do Drugs kids...

8/10
