Menace to Sobriety

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 more

A Place in the Sun

A good but short album. Probably Lit's best.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-01-2007; AWESOME first CD. Bye Bye AR HELLO Suburban Noize!; 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...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Apr-06-2005; Best of Genre; 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...; read full review | report as inappropriate

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-16-2004; kinda crappy; this cd is probably the worst cd of its genre i hated it. it sounded like the were tryin to hard to be original and have no talent; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-29-2003; Creative Mix of Styles; Wonderful CD from start to finish. Starting with "Stash Up" you have an average rock song; go to songs like "Trucha" and "Unda" and you have something new. Trucha is a song with a latin feel but then kicks in with great hip-hop style...; read full review | report as inappropriate
