The most polished Replacements record. It's too nice. As I've stated in my Pleased to Meet Me soundoff, what made this band great is the thin thread they were walking on, between pop melodies and angry punky bursts of violence, between emotion and aggression, between adolescence and adulthood. This sounds like adult contemporary. Of course the songwriting is still there, the songs are great, but it just doesn't quite sound like The Replacements. It sounds like a regular band.

Criminally underrated. It's still packed with Westerberg's fantastic songwriting, which only improved as time went on. The production is a bit off-putting, but Tim's production was much worse. The 'Mats hadn't sold out, and they never really could. Talent Show, the opening track, even pokes fun at the whole concept of making it big! Full of classics like Talent Show, Back To Back, We'll Inherit The Earth (the would-be Gen X anthem), Achin' to Be, Anywhere's Better Than Here, I'll Be You, and Rock'n'Roll Ghost...
