The Ugly Ones is the first CD by This Motor Oil. A distracting collection of dumb pop songs, noise, irritating "musical experiments" and commercials, a lot like what plays on corporate radio – except much better in a good kind of way.

The contents of this disc were written and recorded between the summer of 1984 and the winter of 1987 in various basements, bedrooms and lofts using an assortment of cassette, reel to reel and 4-track cassette recorders. The latest digital technology has been employed to ensure that the essentially cruddy quality of the original performances has been maintained during transfer to compact disc.
