CiSTm K0nFLiqT... ("system conflict") is the tenth and last studio album by Japanese band The Mad Capsule Markets. It was released in 2004 in Japan and 2005 in the United Kingdom. The UK version included two bonus live tracks, a video for "W.O.R.L.D", and an alternative cover. This lyrics showed an interest in politics, for example the song "Scary" has the lines "Tell me now, why are we killing and dying; America, Europe, Asia, Middle East; Religion, History, Greed".

After the album's release, the band was invited to The Radio One Lock Up show to play a session, and the song "Cracker!" was featured on the Japanese version of the soundtrack. Former Pride FC Champion Takanori Gomi uses the song "Scary" as his entrance music.
