Reviews Customer Reviews for Menace To Sobriety      AWESOME first CD. Bye Bye AR HELLO Suburban Noize!      Rating:      This is a must have CD. OPM is great and hit a home run with this first effort. Forthemasses and California Poppy are also excellent listening. Nobody does it quite like OPM. The BEST Suburban Noize Records band. I recommend all the OPM records. High quality stuff.     Customer Reviews for Menace To Sobriety Cd      Best of Genre      Rating:      I'm 51 years old, and can't quite bring myself to love the rap genre, the only thing my son listens to. OPM is quite the refreshing change; Real drums playing great grooves. Happy songs, even if they, like their brethren, Kottonmouth kings, focus a bit much on drugs and alcohol, it is still lyrics that are friendlier than run of the mill hood rap. My favs on this CD are Capitan and Dealer man. All the others are good too. I'm hoping to work up a couple of these in my classic rock band, I know it will get em dancin'! Editorial Reviews for Menace To Sobriety Audio Cd      Amazon.com      The astonishingly and presumably deliberately inept artwork of this debut from Californian skate punks OPM helps create a carefully contrived image of a bunch of lads intent on loafing about, doing as little as possible. The threesome's modus operandi--which involves sun, sex, tattoos, getting stoned, and traveling the streets on four small wheels--is cemented by the opening tracks "Stash Up" (a paean to smoking grass and not giving a flying one for anything) and "Heaven Is a Halfpipe" (a surprisingly catchy sing-along about the joys of skateboarding). Menace to Sobriety's boisterous, good-time feel sprawls across its 15 tracks like a teenager on a particularly comfortable sofa, its bleach-top college-rock roots (Blink 182, Sugar Ray) regularly spiced up by Latino piano and horns, ska rhythms, hip-hop textures, and noisy raps. --Mike Pattenden
