Where it came from
Released in 2019 through the label Metalville, Uglier Than They Used Ta Be serves as a testament to the enduring presence of Ugly Kid Joe, the American rock band that achieved significant commercial success in the early 1990s. Originally issued in 2015, this specific vinyl pressing represents the band’s return to their signature hard rock and heavy metal sound, capturing a period of creative resurgence for the group as they toured and recorded after a long hiatus. The record functions as a bridge between the nostalgia of their breakout hits and a matured, contemporary approach to their established musical identity.
The album features artwork that playfully references the band's history and their irreverent aesthetic, echoing the themes that defined their initial rise to prominence. Throughout the production, the band aimed to capture a raw, organic studio energy that favored live-instrumentation over modern polish, a stylistic choice that resonated with their long-time fan base. Reception of the release was generally positive, with critics noting that the album effectively maintained the band's trademark balance of humor, grit, and melody, solidifying its place in their discography as a successful legacy project.
