Ultra Panic is the sixth studio album by American ska punk band MU330, released on Asian Man Records in 2002. As of 2012, it is MU330's last studio album, although the band has not officially dismissed any plans to record a follow-up in the future.

Overview

Ultra Panic marked MU330's return to a predominantly ska-based sound, following the heavy indie rock slant of Crab Rangoon and their 1999 self-titled album. Critical response to the album was largely positive, with AllMusic rating it with a 4.5 out of 5 score, calling it "a must for everyone who's eagerly awaiting the fourth wave".^[3]
