Their third release, Scatter-Brained, showed a drastic turn in the band's style. TJ's drumming was added to the music and did a lot for their sound. The tone of the album was much more serious, abrasive, and angry, with Johnny handling most of the vocals with his gruff rapping, Peter's high-pitched vocals and piercing screams backing him up. This was also when they dropped the 2000 from their name. After SB, Johnny left the band, uneasy with the direction it was heading, and pursued other projects. Peter took charge of the band and pushed forward as hard as possible. Benny Normal joined the band to play live keytar. The Rabid EP was released and distributed only at live shows, and after a short break from the extensive touring, Friendship Forever was released. In 2007, after another tour, the Bot released I Don't Think You Really Mean It, an EP which contained several remixes of "I Don't Think You Really Mean It" and "Piggly Wiggly," and re-recordings of songs from Rabid.
Over the years they gained some pretty phenomenal success, including touring spots with the Genitorturers, Screaming Mechanical Brain, Mindless Self Indulgence, and Psychostick, to name a few.
In 2009, Retard-O-Bot was disbanded after lead singer Peter Pepper went on to create a solo project. The sound is similar to Retard-O-Bot with more pop and industrial elements.

Hey.. is this thing on? (Yo) Can't hear nothing..
Hey my boy engineer, Turn that shit up..Yo, ya hear what he's saying?
Yo engineer (engineer) Turn my shit up (turn my boy's shit up!)
Turn his headphones up motherf**ker, he can't hear that shit.. uh.. uh..
Step the f**k back, but then go BLAHHH
Me and my crew, yo, we do it like that
All ya'll retards be layin out flat
Gold and platinum, i got that shit
Spendin cash, yo, i do that shit
Chromin' rims yo, i got that whip
Brain and a whip from a dime ass bitch
Can't play in mine, yo, my rhymes is whack
I f**ked your bitch, AND she sucked my dick

Head and seed im crystal cold

Brain and whip, yo i love that best
Step up bitch i'll knock you down

im finnda pull out my strap, cut it back, and bust a cap up in yo ass niggah
Take that bitch.. Yeah.
The lyrics of Retard-O-Bot's song 'Cliche' are essentially a mockery of the typical rap song tropes, with the use of exaggerated and stereotypical boasts about material possessions such as gold and platinum, chromed rims, cars, and women. The singer presents himself as a wealthy, young and successful individual who is apparently stronger, smarter and more successful than all his rivals. He repeatedly emphasizes his dominance through violent threats, suggesting he has a gun and he will use it if he is provoked.
Moreover, the lyrics of the song emphasize how the rapper is the most successful and skillful among all 'retards' who cannot match him. However, through this, Retard-O-Bot highlights the repetitive and formulaic nature of the genre and how artists keep boasting the same topics over and over again. The lines "I f**ked your bitch, AND she sucked my dick, slanging sh*t, yo, and that be a fact" further highlight this repetitiveness and exaggeration.
Overall, the song Cliche is a satirical take on the themes and rhetoric commonly found within the genre of rap, playfully mocking the clichéd boasts of wealth and status while also pointing out the repetitive nature of the genre.

I remember when I first found the whole thing on Grooveshark. That was one hell of a day. Thanks for this. I haven't heard over half of these in such a long time.

Yo dude, thanks for being a part of Supa Vyll3nz, shit still makes me laugh. Did you do anything else (aside from that extreme death metal band you and pete did for like, what 2 shows?) that I can search and find or was that about it? Big fan and always wondered where you went creatively after that
