Menace to Sobriety (OPM album)
Menace to Sobriety is the debut studio album by American rap rock band OPM, released in September 2000. The most notable tracks are "Heaven Is a Halfpipe" (which did well in the charts in the UK, peaking at #4, and Germany, also reaching #68 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for the year 2000 in Australia), "El Capitan", "Stash Up" and "Fish Out of Water" which is on many compilation albums including "Skate to Hell". The album was also released in a clean version, which removes mostly all of the profanities used on the explicit version and any drug references. The album was re-released on September 8, 2015 as part of its 15-year anniversary.[1]
