IF continues the punky attitude, adolescent fixations, and genre splicing and dicing Mindless Self Indulgence does so well. Unlike the album's predecessor, FRANKENSTEIN GIRLS WILL SEEM STRANGELY SEXY, there's less of an overt rap-rock influence here, and more of a wiry punk and new wave feel. Naturally, lead singer Jimmy Urine is still singing about prescription drugs and erectile dysfunction. But the cranked-up, crunchy guitars and in-your-face production of IF give even more snark and bite to a band that's never lacked for snark and bite. The set includes a bonus disc of live material.
