Feels Like Breakin' Shit

"One day Matt Mahaffey walked into the Spongebath offices and gave some employees a CD-R with '..Feels Like Breakin' Shit' written on it. He also gave other copies to friends. As word started to get around about this elusive disc, fans started asking about it. Now between the official DreamWorks Self site and the official Spongebath Self website, you can download all the songs from ..FLBS."-Spongebath Records Website (now defunct)

Feels Like Breakin' Shit, or Self...Feels Like Breakin' Shit, is the third studio album by sElf and was released for free via the internet. The album is composed of leftover songs from Subliminal Plastic Motives and The Half-Baked Serenade, and other songs that Matt created as a joke.

While Matt did make his own cover for the album (used on this page), fans were encouraged to make their own artwork for the album which they could submit to be displayed on the Spongebath website. Nearly all of these alternative covers listed on the Spongebath website can be found on the gallery page.

Release
The album was initially given out by the band to friends, family, and Spongebath employees. Matt has stated in interviews that many of the songs were made as a joke and thus never intended to release them. After a record executive heard the songs, and after fans started asking about it, it was deemed worthy of an internet release. Two main versions of the album were released, one on Spongebath's website and one on Dreamworks Records' website. The Spongebath version featured "Moronic" as track 9, with "Overpopulation" appearing on the Dreamworks version.
