Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts is the second studio album by punk rock band Murder City Devils. It was recorded, mixed and produced by Jack Endino, and released in 1998 on Sub Pop.
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.
Critical reception
CMJ New Music Monthly praised the album, writing that "grunge is back, low, mean and hedonistic as ever." 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."
