MENACE TO SOBRIETY
Menace to Sobriety is the second album by Ugly Kid Joe. It was released in 1995. The album title is an allusion to the movie Menace II Society. It received favourable reviews & reached number 2 on the UK’s rock album charts, in the first week of its release. “Milkman’s Son” and “Tomorrow’s World” were released as singles. Music videos were released for “Tomorrow’s World”, “Milkman’s Son”, and “Cloudy Skies”. (More from Wikipedia)
Ugly Kid Joe, America’s Least Wanted – Allmusic describes Ugly Kid Joe as a “fun-loving hard rock/funk/alt-metal group from Southern California”. To find the fun, you don’t have to go any further than the band name (a takeoff on “Pretty Boy Floyd” – actually a band by that name, Pretty Boy Floyd, not the Depression-era outlaw) or their album names that have similar word play, such as this one plus Menace to Sobriety, Motel California, and Stairway to Hell (with the latter album released just two years ago).
