This Place Sucks Ass is an EP released by Canadian punk rock band PUP on October 23, 2020. It was released under two labels: Little Dipper (the band's personal label), and Rise Records.
This Place Sucks Ass contains mostly recordings from the studio sessions of the band's previous album, Morbid Stuff.
According to Pitchfork, "this place sucks ass" is a sentence the band used to say as a joke while touring, to describe the places where they played.
The EP received generally favorable reviews. Pitchfork gave it a positive review, while Metacritic calculated an overall score of 76/100 one week after the EP's release.
UK rock music review website Kerrang! noted a lack of "vitality and vim" compared to Morbid Stuff.
Writing for Paste Magazine, Zach Schonfeld noted that the 17-minute EP compresses PUP's "infectious feel-bad energy" into five original tracks and a cover, assigning it a score of 7.8 out of 10.
The EP received a Juno Award nomination for Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2021.
All songs are written by PUP, except Grandaddy cover "A.M. 180".
