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 songs from the "Tight" era, and 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 approximately 20 minutes, hence the album name.[citation needed]

Additional information

The live version of Molly was later put on their 2003 EP Despierta Los Niños. A studio version of "Two Hookers" appeared on You'll Rebel to Anything under the title "2 Hookers & an Eightball". A studio version of "Revenge" was released on their 2008 album, If. A studio version of "Last Gay Song" was released as a YouTube exclusive. A studio version of "Rip Off" was included as track 11, in some digital versions of the album. An alternate studio mix was included as a bonus track on their new album, How I Learned to Stop Giving a Shit and Love Mindless Self Indulgence.

Overdubbing

Jimmy Urine explained that the album was recorded on 2 DAT tapes. Due to this, some of the live drums (not prerecorded drums) were lost in the recording, as well as bass. MSI re-recorded guitar tracks and some vocals (when Jimmy Urine lost his breath, or any other parts where he stopped singing).
