mommy's Little Monster, released in 1983, is the first album by Social Distortion. It was recorded in a single session and includes the single "Another State of Mind". All Music called the album "the epitome of early '80s California suburban punk and an inspiration for many later Californians, including The Offspring and Rancid," and

said it "infuses the band with plenty of attitude and aggression as they battle through nine tracks of hard, fast, power chord-filled tracks with snarlingAnti-Establishment lyrics and themes." For the 40th anniversary, the album will be available remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Included on the album will be the nine original songs, including the title track "Mommy's Little Monster" and the single "Another State of Mind."
