Transcription
Background
All three songs on the single were recorded with the rest of Breaking Things in March and April 1993 at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee with record producer and recording engineer John Hampton.[1] Stevenson and Egerton also produced the recordings, and Skidd Mills and Jeffrey Reed served as assistant engineers.[1] Milo Aukerman, of All's precursor band the Descendents, sang backing vocals on the tracks.[1][2] The recordings were mastered by John Golden at K-Disc in Hollywood, and the "Shreen" single was released through Cruz Records as a 10-inch single and CD single.
Reception
Jack Rabid of Allmusic gave the single two and a half stars out of five, calling it "yet another slice of the same All we all know. How can a band repeat itself so many damn times without boring the bell-bottoms off us? The answer must rest in All/Descendents' pursuit of the perfect tune, like a surfer's perfect wave, leading to Pop-Tarts chorus after Fruit [sic] Loops chorus with plenty of Honeycomb harmonies. Bill Stevenson's post-Black Flag drumming remains the distinctive propulsive element year after decade, and on both 'Shreen' and 'Original Me' he's got his double-snare hits rolling. 'Crucified' is lamentable MOR alternative sludge-rock, but at least All were doing it before it was profitable or MTV-ready."[2]
