Bad Scene, Everyone's Fault is a tribute album to the band Jawbreaker, released in 2003 by Dying Wish Records.[1] It includes bands of the post-hardcore, punk rock, pop punk, and emo genres covering Jawbreaker songs. The album is named after a song on Jawbreaker's 1995 album Dear You.
Scott Heisel of Punknews.org rated the album three and a half stars out of five, calling it "rather solid from start to finish, [seeming] like a heartfelt tribute to the Bay Area punk trio, as opposed to an easy cash-in disc."[2] Describing Bigwig and Face to Face's tracks as "virtually note-for-note renditions of the originals", he complimented them for the clarity of their vocals, something lacking in the original Jawbreaker recordings.[2] He praised Duvall's cover of "Busy" as "one of the most beautiful cover songs [by anyone, of anyone] that I've ever heard", and cited The Æffect's version of "Boxcar" as his favorite track:He was more critical of some of the other tracks, calling Sparta's acoustic rendition of "Kiss the Bottle" "a bit too foreign and sterile" and noting that "The Reunion Show's MOOG-a-riffic sound fails them on 'Unlisted Track', sounding more chaotic than poppy."[2]
