All tracks were written and composed by The Make-Up, except for tracks #1, #13, and #14. "Black Wire Pt. 1" and "Black Wire Pt. 2" are attributed as inspired by the MC5. "Caught up in the Rapture" is attributed to Neil Hagerty (of Royal Trux, who produced and engineered the album) and Dianne Quander, credited with the arrangement and lyrics, respectively. "Caught up in the Rapture" is a cover of an Anita Baker song from her 1986 album Rapture, of which Dianne Quander is attributed as co-writer/composer with Garry Glenn.

Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that "Ian Svenonius makes like a garage-funk Pied Piper on In Mass Mind, the deepest and most satisfying of The Make-Up’s albums."[6] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that James Canty "coaxes an impressive range of sounds from his guitar, from fuzzed-out psychedelia to ringing single notes recalling surf and Booker T.-style funk."[7]
