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".
