Friday Night Is Killing Me was released in January 1993 through Sire Records|Sire / Reprise Records to mainly mixed reviews with Stewart Mason, of Allmusic , stating that "here are a couple of great songs here, the catchy single "Loose Ends" and the rocking "Fast and Hard", but even those two songs feel sloppily half-written, with choruses that vamp on repeatedly for far too long. Most of the rest of the album sounds fine while it's playing, but the songs aren't at all memorable."cite web|url=Allmusic|class=album|id=r167943|pure_url=yes|title=Friday Night Is Killing Me > Overview|publisher= Allmusic |accessdate=Mar. 29, 2010 Steven Mirkin, of Rolling Stone , described the album as "not as pointed as ex-Mats drummer Chris Mars's vitriolic Horseshoes and Hand Grenades and lacking Westerberg's songwriting polish, Friday Night Is Killing Me is still a notable debut that at its best flashes the easygoing, knockabout charm missing from the Replacements' last few albums."cite web|url= http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/bashandpop/albums/album/151211/review/5942136/friday_night_is_killing_me|title=Bash and Pop: Friday Night Is Killing Me|publisher= Rolling Stone |accessdate=Mar. 29, 2010 Bruce Haring, of Variety (magazine)|Variety , described the album as "a frisky little rocker propelled by Stinson's endless energy and peppy, raspish vocals." A tour in support followed along with the recording of the track "Making Me Sick" which was included on the Clerks (soundtrack)|soundtrack , released in 1994, to the movie Clerks .cite web |url= http://www.discogs.com/Various-Clerks-Music-From-The-Motion-Picture/release/564843 |accessdate=Mar. 29, 2010 |work= Discogs |title=Various - Clerks - Music From The Motion Picture The group disbanded later in 1994.
