== Background and recording ==
''All Hands on the Bad One'' is the follow-up to Sleater-Kinney's highly acclaimed fourth album ''The Hot Rock'', released in 1999.〔 ''The Hot Rock'' marked a considerable change in the band's sound, veering into a more relaxed and gloomy direction than the raucous punk rock style of its predecessors.〔 It was also the first Sleater-Kinney album that entered the US ''Billboard'' Top 200 chart, peaking at number 181.〔 Some fans, however, dismissed the album, claiming that the band had sold out and that it was a commercial album.〔 This criticism was something that singer and guitarist Corin Tucker strongly disagreed with, claiming that ''The Hot Rock'' was their least commercial album due to its longer and intricate pieces.〔 According to Tucker, "we wanted to be doing difficult work. We wanted to be expanding as musicians and people didn't want that from us. They wanted us to jump around and yell."〔
After expanding their musical boundaries with ''The Hot Rock'', the band decided not to worry about what their next album was going to sound like.〔 Tucker explained, "It was so spontaneous () The songs just kept popping up one after another. We didn't really talk about anything. It just kind of happened."〔 She also said that they wanted to write songs that were "really straightforward but also a bit more mature in their structure and delivery than () earlier songs."〔 ''All Hands on the Bad One'' is also the first Sleater-Kinney album where drummer Janet Weiss provides backing vocals on some tracks. Tucker remarked that they initially wanted her to sing on ''The Hot Rock'', but the idea was ultimately rejected due to the album's complex melodies.〔 ''All Hands on the Bad One'' was produced by John Goodmanson, who previously produced the band's third studio album, ''Dig Me Out''.〔 The band decided to work with him again because, according to Weiss, Goodmanson "has the incredible ability of capturing our live sound and heightening it, so we sound better".〔 The album was recorded from December 1999 to January 2000 at Jackpot! Studio in Portland, Oregon and John & Stu's Place in Seattle, Washington.〔
