Breaking Things is the fifth studio album by the American punk rock band All, released August 16, 1993, through Cruz Records.

[6] As their new singer they recruited Chad Price, a friend and fan of the band who had sung backing vocals on Percolater.

[9] "When Chad joined, we had kind of a backlog," recalled Egerton, "and we all learned each other's songs to get ready for what became Breaking Things.

[9] Rob Williamson of the Tacoma, Washington, band My Name, who had opened for All on tour the previous year, wrote the lyrics for "Rosco".

You're comparing and contrasting these things, but it doesn't work that way, because ultimately it's just us expressing our ideas in our bedroom and then playing them in a garage together, and there's no direction for that.

[9] Stevenson and Egerton also produced the album, and Skidd Mills and Jeffrey Reed served as assistant engineers.

[9] Milo Aukerman, who was living in Madison, Wisconsin, at the time, joined the band in the studio to sing backing vocals on the album.

[9][13] Breaking Things was mastered by John Golden at K-Disc in Hollywood, and released August 16, 1993, through Cruz Records in LP, cassette, and CD formats.

Mike Daly of The Aquarian Weekly called the album "Loud, fast, rough, serious, funny, [and] beautiful [,,,] Not since Bad Religion's Recipe for Hate have I heard a record that kicked such major ass, yet had such sweet melodies.

"[11] Mike DaRonco of Allmusic gave Breaking Things three stars out of five, saying "With Chad Price handling the microphone in a deeper, more powerful tone in comparison to previous singer Scott Reynolds, the music has a bit more of a backbone to it.

Not to say that All have gone heavy metal (although they do come pretty close with 'Guilty' and 'Crucified'), they're still the same playful, heartbroken teenagers (in the bodies of middle-aged men by now) who continue to share their love for food and fishing.
