I definitely don't think they were as juvenille as PWEI, even the early stuff. Though they were definitely seen as being in the same circle at some point. Regardless, MBM's style has really changed over the years, Jack Dangers is a true innovator.
As bob. suggested, I would start with Armed Audio Warfare, or Storm The Studio. Go for the chaotic punch to the brain, it's like cut-up industrial hip-hop, amazing shit. I would just go chronologically, personally. The 3rd, 99%, might be more accessible if that's what you're looking for. But if you want an assault on your senses and find out what MBM was really all about, start with the other two. And keep in mind that listening to one album DOES NOT give you an accurate overview of MBM's sound. Aside from the two I mentioned which are pretty similar, they all differ considerably. One of my personal favorites is Satyricon.
