Alienating Our Audience is a live album
by the band Mindless Self Indulgence
, released on October 8, 2002 (see 2002 in music
). The album contains many fan favorites from the "Tight
" era, as well as six previously unreleased tracks. The recordings took place throughout the band's tour with System of a Down
(February 14-March 1), but mostly pulled material from two shows: May 13 at CBGB's in New York City, NY and May 15 at The Whiskey A-Go-Go in Los Angeles, CA.
The album also contains two of The Left Rights' videos
, "Darth Vader (Who Gives a Sith)/Weirdo" and "Place Disclaimer Here".
This album is notable for its short length (approximately 20 minutes) contrasted with its full LP price, hence the album name. At the end of the very last track, Jimmy Urine asks the audience to shout "We want our money back" before the album comes to an abrupt halt, leaving the listener to reflect upon the album name.
