How I Learned to Stop Giving a Shit and Love Mindless Self Indulgence is the sixth studio album by American electropunk band Mindless Self Indulgence. The album was funded through a Kickstarter campaign started on October 25,2012,[1] which reached its goal on December 24,2012. After several demos were released via YouTube,[2] the album began production. The cover art and track listing were released for people who had backed the campaign on March 12,2013.[3] Digital downloads from Kickstarter were released on March 13,2013. The official album release occurred on May 14,2013.[4] The album was released through Metropolis Records with a bonus track;a cover of Supertramp's "The Logical Song".[5] The name of the record is a reference to the film Dr. Strangelove or:How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb and a reflection of the band "being themselves and loving the work that they do".[6]
The album generally received positive reviews. David Jeffries of AllMusic described the album as "the loudest,angriest,and most creative kraken since their 2005 album You'll Rebel to Anything",while also writing:"Think Ministry on helium and without the "do good" attitude,then sign up for duty,but only if your karma can take a significant hit."[7] Derek Staples of Consequence of Sound wrote:"Although MSI’s messages generally lack the depth of electro-punk/industrial brethren like KMFDM,they’re still capable of divulging wisdom beneath a cloak of tongue-in-cheek satire."[8]
