Menace to Sobriety is the second studio album by American rock band Ugly Kid Joe. 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. "Milkman's Son", "Tomorrow's World" and "Cloudy Skies" were released as singles and have music videos each. Menace to Sobriety is the first album to feature former Wrathchild America/Souls at Zero drummer Shannon Larkin on drums.
Despite critical acclaim, the album did not sell well in the United States compared to band's previous releases, placed 178th in Billboard Top 200. It was the band's final album with the label, dropping them later in the same year of its release.
