La Mia Vita Violenta is the second studio album by American alternative rock band Blonde Redhead, released in September 1995 on Smells Like Records.
The album is a significant turning point in Blonde Redhead's sound. It departs from their previous, more indie rock sound, and showcases a more experimental and eclectic approach.
The album opens with the song "(I Am Taking Out My Eurotrash) I Still Get Rocks Off", which is a clear example of Blonde Redhead's new sound. The song combines jagged guitar riffs, electronic effects, and Kazu Makino's emotive vocals.
La Mia Vita Violenta was well-received by critics. It was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 1996 and was named one of the best albums of the year by many music publications.
The album was also commercially successful. It reached number 14 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and sold over 100,000 copies in the US.
