Following the album's release, the band were dropped by Columbia Records. In 2006 guitarist Larry Hibbitt stated that:there were a lot of things that were wrong with [the album]. A lot of it was to do with the fact that we had absolutely no working relationship with the label by the time it came out. There was loads of pressure to get ''Shatterproof'' out and get the ball rolling again. They just wanted a record - any record. It just got put out and forgotten about. It still sold 65,000 but nobody quite seems to realise that. On the official Hundred Reasons message board, guitarist Paul Townsend responded to a poll asking which of the band's first albums were better: I think this topic might be easier to answer if I wasn't in the band.
