Review

A surprise. They hint strongly at a metal-funk hybrid, they have a weird sense of humor, the songs are good, the recording is excellent and the performances are terrific. Which means that until you have a full-length album in your hands, you have to play the EP twice. That's okay -- "Madman," with its deranged killer in Disneyland tale, is weird, wild stuff. ~ Steven McDonald, All Music Guide

As Ugly as They Wanna Be is an EP by the American heavy metal band Ugly Kid Joe. It was released in 1991. The title of the album is a parody of 2 Live Crew's 1989 album As Nasty as They Wanna Be.

Two tracks "Madman" and "Everything About You" later appear on the band's 1992 debut album America's Least Wanted with only little changes (new vocal track on "Madman" and spoken intro on "Everything About You"). "Everything About You" would later become a hit single, due to its use in the movie Wayne's World.

The track "Sweet Leaf" is a cover of the British heavy metal band Black Sabbath.

This was the first EP that was certified multi-platinum by the R.I.A.A.
