Breaking the Balls of History

Breaking the Balls of History is the tenth studio album by American indie rock band Quasi, released on February 10, 2023, through Sub Pop.

Vocalist and drummer Janet Weiss broke her legs and collarbone in a car crash in 2019, and by the time she had healed, the world was experiencing lockdowns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, so she worked on the album with bandmate Sam Coomes.

[7] Mojo stated called it Quasi's "most corrosive cocktail yet of melodious sunshine pop and blackly comedic lyrics".

[5] DIY's Elvis Thirlwell described it as "an effervescence of headlong, wind-slicing garage rock that's equal parts brazen, jubilant and loud" with tracks that "land someplace cool between corny absurdity, and wry sincerity.

[4] Nina Corcoran of Pitchfork wrote that Quasi "sound rejuvenated and youthful, but they forget to look beyond the moment that prompted their rebirth" and remarked that the album "has a blurry quality: a jumble of all-too-familiar thoughts that never add up to a breakthrough".
