My Back Is Killing Me Baby is the fifth album by Car Seat Headrest as a solo project of singer Will Toledo. It is a combination of the shelved album 5 and the Sunburned Shirts EP,[1] replacing three of the tracks on 5 with three on that EP, the title track of which is featured. The excluded tracks were later featured on Toledo's rarities compilation, Little Pieces of Paper With "No" Written On Them."[2][3][4][5][6]

Reception

[edit]

In a 2017 ranking of Car Seat Headrest's discography to that point (excluding the numbered albums), The Odyssey called My Back Is Killing Me Baby the band's/artist's best album, praising it for having "everything Teens of Style had, but it's done in Will's old lo-fi style."[7] In an Uproxx guide to Car Seat Headrest's independently-released music, Steve Hyden offered a more measured take on the album, stating that "immediately stands out as the album that spawned the bulk of Toledo’s Matador debut, Teens of Style. Five songs from that LP originally appeared on My Back is Killing Me Baby, including one of Toledo’s finest songs, “Something Soon.” But if My Back now seems like a turning point in Toledo’s career, it has benefitted from some retrospective pruning."[8]
