Calculated madness

"As anyone who surfed over to this item may already know, the Left Rights are an offshoot of Mindless Self Indulgence. Now, as if MSI weren't whacky enough, this CD comes out and just blows my mind! It is SO dumb, I love it! There is absolutely no musical ability on this CD, I love it! There are 39 tracks, all averaging at about a minute apiece. I love everything on this CD. I can't tell you enough how dumb this CD is. You have to have a certain sense of humor to actually enjoy this. My favorite track is DEFINETLY "Homineau" which makes fun of rock stars and acts as a mock rock concert. If you want an example of the stupidity of this CD, ask yourself "Is the word poopy funny to me?" If the answer is yes, drop everything and buy your copy today! Just remember, you're not crazy. Everyone else is crazy and you're perfectly sane. Just keep watering the gnomes and make sure that your legs don't turn into spaghetti."

Exactly what people have grown NOT to expect...

"The premise of songs "too weird to be released under the moniker of Mindless Self Indulgence" should in the least intrigue even the most casual of their fans.
Those who know the prior works of Urine and Righ? were probably expecting another MSI record...and they'll get a couple of tracks like that ("parkinlot" and "station wagon"), but they're also going to get some of the weirdest comedic retard-rock ever imagined ("qy10" and "poo out my ass"). That's what you get when you let guys like that spend several days in a studio with no engineer to tell them that what they were doing is completely wrong. Using a Pro Tools system as a tape recorder, and recording everything as left and right. No separation of tracks. No mix down. No production whatsoever.
Like drunk muppets writing a fecally obsessed children's album for adults, The Left Rights DOES have an audience -- it's just finding that audience that is going to a problem. Personally, I love it. But as with any great music, a lot of people are going to hate it.
Hey, if you don't like what you hear, at least you get a nifty high quality video of "Panty Shot" from Mindless' secret show at CBGB's in May of 2002! That alone makes it worth it!"
