"Subliminal Plastic Motives" is the debut album from Self. It found some success with MTV and had videos for "So Low" and "Cannon", and is probably Self's most widely known release. The album was released by Spongebath Records and was immediately picked up by Zoo Entertainment (now Volcano Records). Critical reception was very positive, receiving praise for it's eclectic take on rock music and garnering comparisons to artists such as Beck and Beastie Boys. Many of Self's fans hold the album in high regard and most of the songs are now fan favorites. While the album featured a hearty dose of what could best be desribed as "modern rock" songs, elements such as hip-hop beats and jazzy piano were dispersed throughout, hinting at Mahaffey's versatility as a composer and Self's future musical directions.
