The Dragon Ball's the Most Important Body Part

The Dragon Ball's the Most Important Body Part is the second studio album by the American metal band Osmosis. It was the band's second CD under Epitaph Records. It was released September 1, 1998 to unanimously positive reception. A music video for "Battle of the Planet's Wife" was produced.

Musical style
When compared to their two extended plays and debut studio album, TDBMIBP showcases the band exploring a vast amount of genres, whilst keeping their signature alternative metal sound. In certain instances, the songs will go from one style to the next.

According to Marco Simmer, all of this either happened "out of the blue" or, maybe, he wanted Osmosis to delve deeper into maturation. It might also have to do with Phoenix's contributions.
