"Welcome to the World" is the second and final Psycho Motel album. It has a less aggressive direction compared to their first album "State of Mind". It features a different vocalist this time around, Andy Makin, who gives the album a sound more like Alice in Chains than before. It also features Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy and Dave Murray of Iron Maiden as guest guitarists. In 2006, it was re-released with two bonus tracks, these tracks contain Solli from the first album on vocals and were probably recorded just before he left the band in 1997.
