You'll Rebel to Anything is the fourth studio album by New York City band Mindless Self Indulgence. The album was released on April 12, 2005. The album was released outside of the US on November 5, 2007, in an "Expanded and Remastered" edition. On January 22, 2008, the "Expanded and Remastered" version, which features a reordered track list, was released in the US. Another variation of the Expanded and Remastered version was released which included four bonus tracks. The Expanded and Remastered version, both with and without bonus tracks, as well as the clean version of the album, can be streamed digitally. The original version of the album is not available on streaming. A special Japanese version, titled お前は何にでも反発する (難問じゃない限り) [You'll Rebel to Anything (As Long as It's Not Challenging)] of the remastered edition was released on March 5, 2008, which includes a slightly reordered track list and 10 bonus tracks, including a demo version of "Bomb This Track", the completed version of which can be found on If. An alternate version of the album was released on vinyl in 2017, then again in 2022, and again in 2025, featuring the original track list along with four different bonus tracks.

This album resulted in many firsts for the band: it was their first studio album to feature Lyn-Z on bass, first studio album to have alternate versions, first studio album to reach the Billboard, first studio album to be released outside of the US, first studio album in which clean versions of all the tracks were released to retail, and their first studio album to have music videos based on tracks besides those excerpted from live shows.

An accompanying EP titled "Another Mindless Rip-Off" was released on December 5, 2006.

Cover

The cover on the album is a blue cross made up of many video game controllers and systems, including the GameCube, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super NES, Genesis, and the Power Glove. The band's name is written on the bottom in dark grey text. The cover for the Japanese version is a parody of the cover art on Another Mindless Rip Off. The cover for the reissued version features a black man dressed like Jesus, in front of a gate. Around the edges are several flowers. The band's name is written around the man's hair.
