Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts is the second studio album by punk rock band Murder City Devils.[4][1][5] It was recorded, mixed and produced by Jack Endino, and released in 1998 on Sub Pop.[6]
On the cover art, the album title appears as Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts, while the reverse side reads Broken Bottles, Empty Hearts, suggesting a more dark and violent alternate title.[7]
Critical reception
[edit]CMJ New Music Monthly praised the album, writing that "grunge is back, low, mean and hedonistic as ever."[8] The A.V. Club wrote that "the group dredges up the sound of the proto-punks of the late '60s and early '70s, making music that screams to be heard but doesn't care if you don't listen."[9]
