MagentaMantaLoveTree (1993) was the second album released by Dighayzoose with a duration of nearly 65 minutes. All band members, except of Jimmi Rodrigez, participated in the writing process.[3] The album was a departure from their debut which had been, according to multiple critics, essentially a Red Hot Chili Peppers clone.[5][3] According to True Tunes News the band used the language of psychedelia to create "bizarre and visual lyrics."[3] Their lyrics touched sometimes personal topics such as love & beauty in a dream about a future wife ("MagentaMantaLoveTree"), hate ("H8 Machine"), and self-loathing ("Diggin' Away").[2][4] Musically the album contained a great number of styles[1] mashed together into a George Clinton style "cosmic slop."[2] One review drew musical parallels to Steve Vai, Primus, Faith No More, Janes Addiction, and Scaterd Few.[4]
Many of the tracks are prepended by short samples.
