Menace to Sobriety is the second studio album by American rock band Ugly Kid Joe.[1] It was released in 1995 through Mercury Records. The album title is an allusion to the movie Menace II Society. It peaked at No. 25 on the UK Albums Chart.[2] "Milkman's Son", "Tomorrow's World" and "Cloudy Skies" were released as singles. Music videos were released for "Tomorrow's World", "Milkman's Son", and "Cloudy Skies".
Trouser Press noted that singer Whitfield Crane adopted "a new and nasty W. Axl Rose vocal affliction on some songs", and wrote that the band "reintroduce themselves as a growly, serious rock lot attempting to fill the gap left by the Gunners' silence".[3] The Washington Post called the album "more varied and tuneful than its predecessor".[4]
