AllMusic[1]

Menace to Sobriety is the debut studio album by American rock group OPM. It was released in August 2000 via Atlantic Records, and was re-released on September 8, 2015 as part of its 15-year anniversary.[2] There is also a clean version of the album, which removes most of the profanities used on the explicit version and any drug references.

The album spawned three charted singles and music videos for: "Heaven Is a Halfpipe" (which also reached #68 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for the year 2000 in Australia), "El Capitan" and "Stash Up".
