And indeed they do. To start off I'm going to say this record is hands down better then "You'll Rebel To Anything" FSGWSSS has the manic sense of techno-punk on cocaine that makes Mindless Self Indulgence such a refreshing and addictive voice in music. It's tongue in cheek, self serving, thrash, and purely mindless fun and satire. Don't buy this album looking for a political or sociological message. You're not going to find an underlying social statement in "Dicks Are for My Friends", or a political statement in "Cocaine and Toupees", it's not there. Mindless Self Indulgence is exactly that, mindless self indulgence; it's a techno/punk/hip-hop/thrash mix that is perfectly erratic. They're lyrics are often nonsensical, perverse, and intentionally iconoclastic, and they're meant to be taken as satire. And that's what makes them so unique and thusly good. Jimmy Urine can easily be passed off as another Marilyn Manson clone, he's shock, Manson's shock, so it's the same, right? Not in the least. Manson shocks his audience on the idea that he's cool. Urine acknowledges that he's stupid, and then relishes in it. And this 30 track cd is the perfect display of that.  ;D
