Let It Be

I don't know who these guys think they are, but this shit slaps with zero warning. They're funny and loud, and then they drop a sincere piano track; it’s fucking brilliant. Spins: 2 Playlist Additions I Will Dare Favorite Thing Androgynous Unsatisfied Answering Machine

Ok 2/5

Wasn't too familiar with this band, but really enjoyed it and will check out other albums.

Ajoittain hyvää rokkia. Ei silti taivu 4 tähdelle eli 3,5 tähteä.

Ei ollu meikän juttu.

This is an album I feel I’ve heard a lot about and have actually listened to several times, but have basically no recollection of. What a treat to hear it like the first time again! Makes me want to check out Colin Meloy’s 33 1/3 book on ‘Let it Be’. It’s hard to see how this influenced The Decemberists, but less difficult to see how the Replacements contributed to the make up of Tarkeo.

Like many people, my only knowledge of The Replacements were their songs “Alex Chilton” and “Can’t Hardly Wait”. This was a nice way to hear more of their material; something I wouldn’t have or ally sought out. I liked this album, but not so much that I’d become a super fan. Strong 3 stars.

later

Punkig, nicht mein Stil.

Gonna get it out of the way that this was always gonna be a 5 if I saw it on this list. One of my favorites and has been in rotation for something like 20 years. It's not a perfect album. But if it were, it wouldn't be a Replacements album. I recently read something (like yesterday) that an artist's flaws are perhaps more important than their strengths because it's what gives them personality. Of course, you gotta be good in the first place, but to be human is what makes you interesting. You might think it was written about the 'Mats, but it name dropped Matisse, so you'd be wrong, but it really fits, doesn't it? Who but the Replacements would slot a cheesy Kiss cover between stone-cold all-timers like Androgynous and Unsatisfied? And who else could make it work? Why are there songs about boners, and why do you find yourself absent mindedly humming a song about boners in front of your kids (honorable mention to Diarrhea Planet's Ghost With a Boner, I guess)? Actually, every song on this album has been hummed absentmindedly in front of my kids. The highs are high, the lows gleefully roll in the mud, and they all play nice together. A triumph of post-pubescent demand to be in the world.

Meh

Mostly fine. Some questionable lyrics here and there. 3/5

The superior Let It Be

4.5

Mirá lo que es esa tapa, loco. Zapatillas ícono. 8/10

You know, when I find myself in times of trouble, good music is what often calls to me, except for when it doesn't. Fortunately, today is one of those days where it does. This may not be the Beatles album most think of when "Let It Be" comes to mind, but I'd argue it's just as good and important as that one. The Replacements are not the Beatles, but they don't need to be. I mean, there's a reason why this album's on this list but not the Beatles album. This Replacements album is actually really good. It's remarkably ahead of its time in many ways. The musical style and general tone of the album fit right in line with the alt-rock and indie rock bands that would follow. To hear this in 1984 must've been mind-blowing. Of course, it's not exactly mind-blowing nowadays given what's followed, but that's not to say that the album's aged poorly. Quite the contrary, in fact. The passing of time has been very kind to this album. The lyrics are part of this. You've got some angst on songs like "Unsatisfied," some more comedic elements on songs like "Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out," and you even have a gender-non-conforming love song of sorts with "Androgynous." Again, the fact that this released in 1984 is remarkable. Plus, you've got some solid instrumental variety that makes this album stand out from song to song. Let it Be isn't quite a masterpiece, but it's still a strong album that makes perfect sense for a list like this. High 4/5.

I don't understand the fuss about this band or record, wasn't impressed in the late eighties when I came across their music during my teenage punk/indie years and three decades later it still doesn't impress me. The only thing I can clearly hear is what Kurt Cobain listened to in his teens and how Westerberg's singing (?) style influenced his. But no, not for me, neither punk nor indie, mediocre rock songs, drunken bar ballads ("Androgynous') pub rock covers (from Kiss and T. Rex), ridiculous self-deprecating lyrics, ("Gary's Got a Boner"), let alone the sloppy production of this record. If this represents "one of the greatest albums of the decade", to quote Stephen Thomas Erlewine, then "I Will Dare" him. Totally misplaced on this list. 1/5

Didn’t grab me. Guitars and music were quite good but I didn’t like the vocals. Not planning to listen again.

Surprisingly great for the 80s. Feels like quite a modern band. fav = Androgynous

Very tender grunge, a little bit woke but sincerely and not performative. Definitely a grower

Little too raw

A gem

Very hit and miss, but, “Gary’s Got a Boner” aside, had enough about it to deserve the benefit of the doubt and settle at a 3.

Not as "punk" as some of their stuff. Not bad, but not their best IMO.

I've realised I really struggle to enjoy music when the singer can't sing

One of my favourite bands. Probably their best album, perfect combination of their punk roots and more melodic side

Another 'nothing special here' album for me. Again, thankful this one was a short listen. 3/5

#100 oppsummerer egentlig lista perfekt. Helt ok album for de som liker sjangeren, har sikkert inspirert mange, og har en og annen allmenn hit. Men må noen høre på dette i løpet av livet? Neeeei.

Echt een vet album! Lekker grungy en vol energie!

Another band I've heard of for ages, but never followed up. Tracks like I Will Dare and Sixteen Blue were familiar though. And another discovery for me that I will come back to. A great album.

I often find myself between this and Tim as my favourite Replacements album. While the next album may have been where they perfected the rock-pop to complement Westerberg's voice, this one has its messy self-destructive charm. Androgynous is a special special song.

Nicely spirited punky pop music. Liked the T.rex cover!

Grungey rock

Minnesota light punk

Long time no hear, and now I am not the age this album is aimed squarely at it wasn’t quite what I remember. Which is on me. Brought back some good memories but that’s it, for the personal nostalgia value gonna score it higher than if it was a first time listen today 4 Star

Fun listen. Definitely more mature punk sound.

Favorites: 'Favorite Thing' (ironically), Androgynous, Black Diamond, Gary's Got a Boner (instrumentals are sick).

any album that contains both seen your video AND i will dare is a 5. that the rest of let it be is just as wonderful is why its one of the best albums ever made. perfection.

one of my favorite songs with a jane in it

I like some of the replacements' songs, but what the hell do they know about the beatles? Fav song: Unsatisfied

Contemporaries of R.E.M. and were tipped by critics to be the bigger band and although they signed to a major label it never really happened for them, largely due to their self-destructive behaviour. They also swing from snotty to poetic from track to track. There's a song on here called Gary's Got A Boner and also a progressive anthem to tolerance called Androgynous. I first heard the song a couple of years ago and still can't quite believe it was written in 1984. I've also got a lot of love for Unsatisfied and one Peter Buck making an appearance on the opening track I Will Dare though I'd always assumed he played the mandolin when in fact he supplys the guitar solo.

English rock,punk band. No big hits to speak of.

Shaggy shambolic rock and roll inspired by the anyone can do it / do it yourself ethos of hardcore and driven by a relentless all consuming drunken youthful urge to create, express, and react. Wedged between punk and power pop and alt country, it barley holds together yet coheres into something magical, the guitars' scuzzy jangle, the deeply emotive hoarse vocals, the punchy drums and loping bass together create an alienated but earnest, melancholic and wistful, ironic but open sensibility. It's so basic and raw, naively touching. I was late to this band, but they've become a favorite.

Pre: Heard one of their songs before!

Solid post punk album, some songs were good, others were ok, not essential imo to get a feel for the genre as a whole

Pretty consistent, the songs are just not so memorable for me. Liked the raw and dirty "post-punk" style.

Not nearly as good as the Beatles let it be but still good! 3.5

Oh, to be young, smart, depressed, and lazy

Feel like I should like this More than I do, but it’s p good

nicer and cuter than i remembered !! i liked the part where gary had a boner

Solid album. Wasn't initially feeling some of it, but I feel like I settled into it and after that point it really flowed along well.

Insane that this is the only Replacements album on this list. Great album and all but they have even more. It's just really bizarre considering they had a 1001 slots and then filled them with 800 mediocre albums by mediocre bands.

I want to hear so much more punk like this. They have the distinct punk sound but they also give a shit that it sounds good too. Too much of the genre is people playing bad intentionally and asking you to applaud them for it. This is a rare punk mix of musicality, consistency in theme, and range. Really solid listen.

I know I am supposed to like this but some of the songs just are not great.

In theory I should like this one, its a genre I like, the premise sounds cool.. But, I dunno I didnt really. It was alright.

What a wild ride of an album. It felt so angsty and counter to everything I usually enjoy, but right after "Androgynous" hits, the album opens up into a more mellow, introspective version that I really enjoyed. 3.5/5.

3.5

I always found them slightly overrated

This album flew by so fast I didn’t even realize I was listening to anything. Not for me I guess.

Would listen again but nothing too special. Black Diamond my highlight. Preferred the faster stuff.

This album shines in the slower moments

1/5

This album is a little bit all over the place. Punk, post punk and alternative in one place. However, it is not cohesive and I dtrugglwd to have a good time listening to it

This is another one of those albums that I appreciated musically, but didn't connect with personally. There were some parts I liked along the way, but generally, I liked this less the longer I listened. It was not a bad album, but it was not something I think I'll return to. It feels silly to critique punk music as being too messy, but I think there's a way to be punky and messy while still displaying skill. That's definitely not to say there wasn't a display of skill here. The guitar work was impressive (like really impressive) and the rhythm stayed strong throughout the whole runtime. I can see why some people really enjoy this album, but I am not one of those people. Different strokes for different folks, I guess!

Felt pretty bland and didn’t give me much. 2 stars

Going into this, I had never heard of The Replacements or their album Let It Be. I was, however, excited for a punk album today, so I gave it a listen. I’ll get the obvious joke out of the way first: I think I might actually prefer this Let It Be to The Beatles’! This record was a lot better than I expected. I gave it 2–3 listens today, and it’s already downloaded to revisit again and again. It’s much more than just loud, rowdy punk—there’s real maturity here. The band blends punk energy with thoughtful lyrics and strong melodies, almost leaning toward power-pop at times. It feels like a group evolving beyond their raw beginnings into something richer and more meaningful. I’ll definitely be checking out their earlier albums to see how they got to this point. Favourite track: I Will Dare and Favourite Thing are standouts. Least favourite track: Honestly, every song is worth a listen, but by the time it reached Answering Machine it felt like the album had run out of steam just a little. Album artwork: Simple yet effective.

Interesting take.

Wow, right after Automatic for the People I get another album I have listened to for a hundred plus hours. One of the most genuinely tough records ever made. With one of the softest, sweetest songs "Androgynous" which may have influenced me more than any other lyric put to tape. This is a perfect album, one of the greatest of the 80s and still not even the Pats best. That title would go to Tim, specifically the Ed Stasium mix* that came out recently. Then 3 or 4 other albums tie for 3rd. *Hadta jump right over to this after finishing Let It Bleed.

This album is nice. Musically talking, it is more or less the same than other musical projects of the same style. I wouldn't say it is innovative in any aspect, which is not bad at all, but, then, it has to impress me much to really appreciate it. So, it is not much interesting in the musical aspect, but it has some good songs though. I guess I liked it, but just that.

How young are you / How old am I? I'm about to rate The Replacements' Let It Be five stars. How smart are you / How dumb am I? It's not my favorite of their records, but it's the one I bought first and I still have such an irrational fondness for it. As they matured and their songcraft was allowed to breathe, it was no longer almost completely dwarfed by volume, speed, and brashness like Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash. So you get a lot of Tim and after albums hailed as the greatest. But what I like about Let It Be is that it retains elements of their attitude and early sound while pointing towards the evolution yet to come. Some might say it's a transitional album, but look me in the eye and try to talk me out of this album's brilliance and we'll have to throw down nonetheless. Oh, meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime.

Don't know anything about this band and have not listened to much of this genre, and being my first album was not knowing what to expect. I will dare you (the first song) sounded decent and got me excited but then the next 3 songs got me worrying and wondering whether to continue or not. But credit to them the next songs redeemed the album. And songs about gender identity in the 80s was quite something. Adrogynous was one of the better songs of the album and the song that forced me to listen to the whole thing. I dont see the hype of this album to be honest, there were a few good songs but i dont know if they were memorable enough for me to go back to the album. Songs that i liked : Adrogynous, Unsatisfied, Answering Machine, and weirdly enough Gary's Got a Boner.

Nettes Rock-Album aus den 80ern. Gut hörbar, mit den Texten müsste ich mich näher beschäftigen. 3/5

This had to be a favorite of Kurt cobain - very punky alternative. Very raw and to the point. The kiss cover of black diamond took me by surprise. I didn’t hate but won’t go back to it.

How can Tim and Dead Man's Pop (the dont tell a soul "correct" version) bor be on this list? Boo to the 1001.

Vocals are sub par. Not a fan of the grunge nature of the first couple songs. First three songs I would give a 2/5 at best. One positive thing that does stand out tho is the progression of the instruments and songs. I feel like it’s got a good mix but the screaming vocals just drown out the song where maybe a different singer could be beneficial. Androgynomoys was the song that I saved which I liked

I thought it was ok

pa čak i okej, nije loše, ipak mi fali ono nešto za četvorku, ne znam

Maybe it’s the passage of time and you just had to be there. But this album feels like fairly middle of the road 80s rock to me. I don’t get the hype. Maybe like a cross of REM and Bruce Springsteen. Which sounds cool on paper but I’d rather listen to Springsteen instead. Lead singer has a cool voice though.

Good old rock, nothing too special imo tho

I enjoyed this. There was some really great writing and it really was just an all around terrific album.

This was a pretty average album. Short enough to not be annoying. I listened to it and probably never will again.

This should really be my jam! I guess I just wasn't feeling like listening to songs about Gary's boner today :( I'm going to come back to this one another day for a fresh listen another day and maybe edit my rating.

Wish they taken their own advice. Please Please Me!

2.8 Some fairly run of the mill punk/post rock it sounds like. Nothing really stands out. Black Diamond is an alright metal song randomly plonked in the middle. But still not great. Not really arsed hearing about someone having an erection. Don't think this changed music, but will now probably read a wiki page about how this impacted everything.

Overall, I like the Replacements’ Let It Be. I like Paul Westerberg’s voice, and I always enjoyed the whole lo-fi, indie slacker type bands. That said, I’m not quite sure that I understand how Let It Be got to be quite so highly regarded as an indie darling record. I imagine it had something to do with the year of its release; I imagine it was pretty counter cultural at the time. But it starts a little slow, and I almost never say this, but this record might actually benefit from some slicker production. But it is what it is, and probably represents who the band was more accurately than some polished studio production. Anyway, it’s a pretty solid record that was probably a really big deal just a few years too early to really connect with me in a really nostalgic way. 3.7/5

great album. reminds me of a lot of the pub rock albums from the late 70s early 80s.

Like this one!

# Album Name: Let it be # Artist: The Replacement # Rating: 2/5 # Comments: Not for me. Underwhelming. Pretty forgettable and boring. # Top Tunes: None # Would I listen to it again? No

One of those US bands that didn’t really register in the UK. So the nostalgia and youthful support of this passes me by. I enjoyed it but it’s not going to stick.

Amazing rhythm, fast pacing and punk essence that I can't quite describe, but it works fascinatingly. Another band that I didn't know almost at all, and this only opens a discography worth exploring. 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Enjoyed this a lot more than i expected to.

Pretty good.

Solid

The boys are singing about boners. Was this a special event for Gary? Had he been struggling and finally got there? This was a fun record, but not too much stood out to me. The song "Androgynous" was good. I can see that it might be popular today, it seems very ahead of its time. 6/10

Mouais franchement c'est du rock plutôt classique rien de transcendant et j'ai pas écouté les sons de la version expanded peut être qu'il y avait des pépites mais pourquoi elles ne seraient pas dans l'album

Ca va mais moyen

Was alright, some waffle but also some cool tracks

The best album named Let It Be.

I kind of like Androgynous, pretty forward-thinking for 1984. Otherwise some fairly standard punk and post-punk songs.

Started off not really in to it, but slowly converted as the album went on. Pretty solid rock album that I feel deserves a bit of time with.

The Replacements are one of the greatest bands of all time. Let it Be is the moment where they start to shed their party band reputation in favor of who they really are, the downtrodden band after the party. “Unsatisfied” is a gut punch to this day over 40 years later. “Seen Your Video” shows them aware of where the world is going and them holding on to a purist idea of what rock and roll is. Aside from a few leftover tracks from their party band days this is the beginning of the mature Replacements that would come to light on the next album, Tim. But many of the band’s best moments are right here. This is a big bang moment where a million indie rock bands that come in the next few decades would find so much inspiration. Paul Westerberg’s lyrics show a vulnerability in the mid 80’s, while metal guys dressed like women but wrote songs that were full of testosterone.

At høre Let It Be føles som at sidde på et teenageværelse i midt-80’erne: plakater på væggene, tomme øldåser på gulvet, en blanding af grin, skænderier og stille øjeblikke, hvor nogen pludselig spiller en sang, der rammer dybt. Det er både ungdommens kaos og dens øjeblikke af klarhed – og det føles stadig frisk i dag. Albummet er angiveligt på listen, fordi de går fra punk til alternativ rock men hvor de bevarer punk-energien Jeg synes også nogle af numrene er meget punket, korte og har sådan en lidt kantet DIY lyd. Man kan godt høre de er inspireret af ramones. De var åbenbart med til at starte genren college-rock som var udprøget på collegeradioer. Det er mere melodisk punk-rock. Både nirvana og R.E.M så dem som forbilleder og guitraristen fra R.E.M spiller faktisk også med i dette band. Teksterne er fjollet og sjove. kan man også se på titlerne af sangene. SYnes det var fedt at lytte til og jeg tænker det ligger mellem 4 og 4,5 men giver det 4

5/5

Dijeron que había buenas melodías, pero no las encontré en este disco.

Good energetic rock album, easy listen. Might not be very extraordinary, but not in the bad way. +I will dare +Androgynous

This was pretty fun. Mixing couldve been better, but I’m looking forward to hearing more from them

Pretty good album that I have never heard before today. It has some nice punk vibes without being too over the top. A nice variety of songs to keep things going. Not bad, it's something that I should have heard when I was younger but didn't have the chance.

Deathly dull, mid-80s American rock cosplaying (badly) as alternative music.

I really enjoyed this, and I wasn't expecting to given that it's punk, and I haven't enjoyed the past punk albums I've dove into during this project. My favorites were: "Sixteen Blue," "Androgynous," "Favorite Thing," and "Unsatisfied." Really enjoyed the percussion, guitar licks, and bass in a lot of these tracks. Thoroughly enjoyed this project on the whole, despite not being a huge fan of the wider genre.

4,5

7/10

Don’t see the appeal. Tbh I don’t think post punk is my genre, every band in the genre I’ve tried is just ok. 2 of 5, it’s not bad

Not my thing

just feels a little dated

My first impression was that this album kind of sounds like if Bon Jovi did punk rock, but in a bad way. There was something about the early tracks in particular that just felt like they lacked an edge, especially the opener, which has a bit of a Beatles vibe, yet I found it to be incredibly forgettable. The album picks up a bit around the third song, We're Comin' Out, which brings some much needed energy. High speed guitar riffs litter tracks like this across the album, and they're at least entertaining and technically impressive, if a touch cliche. From this song onward the album feels like a collage of punk rock, hair rock, and soft rock, though the band does not skirt the line between these sounds nearly as well as Pixies did, whom I feel were a big influence on this band's sound. There are some interesting ideas thrown around. Unsatisfied is a very classic 80s stadium rock sounding ballad, though the vocals bring some surprising vulnerability to the track. Seen Your Video is an interesting instrumental song that plays with the band's sound, while closer Answering Machine cuts out the percussion and features just the vocalist and the guitar working together. I appreciate the band experimenting and attempting to leave their comfort zone on these kinds of songs. I also need to highlight Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out, a song about, well, getting your tonsils out. This song kind of defines the album in my mind. On one hand, it's charming and funny and playful, it feels like it should work, but on the other hand, it also feels like it's trying very hard to be something it's not. I admire it for being quaint, but it ultimately feels like a gimmick, and it doesn't hold your attention much after it's done. By far the best track though is song 5, Androgynous. A part of me can't believe a song about gender politics snuck its way onto an album like this way back in 1984, though perhaps that says more about how far we've regressed in the current era. Still, the band is exploring ideas that could actually be considered taboo, and they're actually taking a stance on something. It gives the band some much needed edge and identity. The weird stilted piano gives the track an oddness that matches the theme of a gender bending couple who don't quite fit in to our expected norms, but the catchiness and warmness makes the track feel wholesome and harmless, which matches the message of the song. It's easily the track I wanted to return to the most. It kind of reminded me of something Lou Reed would hum and tap his foot to. There are shining moments on this album, but altogether it feels like a band desperately trying to find their identity. The album is at its best when it feels like they're being earnest and exploring topics of personal interest to them (Unsatisfied, Androgynous), but too often it feels like the band is trying to emulate other acts that did it better. There's a push and pull between them watering their sound down for more mainstream appeal, and them going full punk to grasp at what I assume is their roots. It's not a bad album, but it's just bland. There's a lot of effort on display, but it can't hide a like of authenticity.

The Replacements are such a classic band. The highlight for me was definitely 'Unsatisfied'.

i love this album a lot. it's maybe not my favorite replacements album, but it's close. it was the first one i ever listened to, and so for that it has perhaps some added esteem in my view. but this album has it all, a snarling attitude, witty lyrics, and great songwriting. paul westerberg is vastly underrated in the music scene and on here are some of my favorite songs of his. of course, the classic 'i will dare' is great, but my favorite on here are the very ahead of its time 'androgynous' and the longing 'unsatisfied' which may sneakily be one of my favorite songs of all time. yeah there's some less serious stuff here ('tommy gets his tonsils out' and 'gary's got a boner') and their cover of kiss' 'black diamond' leaves a little to be desired, but i think all of that adds to the charm.

I liked it! It was a change from my usual music; however, I am unsure if I would return to this album (unless for a specific mood!) I think it sounds like other songs of the same genre (a bit too similar)

Punks get serious about their lives. There’s a world where this album is flabby and boring, but they successfully mix raw guitar music with smooth balladry. I liked it.

i enjoyed this a fair bit to be fair, must’ve been an important record for its time, some great alt rock, i enjoy this more than the other let it be

Classic album, own it on vinyl! Androgynous is lowkey one of the best songs of the whole 80s.

It bled

I only knew two Replacements songs before, 'Androgynous' and 'Swinging Party', so I didn't really appreciate their sound was mostly more punky/garage rock. This is great, love the energy and and guitar riffs. A couple of slower ones provide some nice pacing and the lyrics deal with some concepts that are still relevant today (such as gender identity and... boners) A previously unheard 5* for me

Entre rock classique et révolte plus «dure», une belle voix un peu rauque et du plaisir à l'écoute

80s post-punk. Ramones/Clash with some pop sensibilities. Can almost hear pop-punk coming through. Also like Black Flag in places. Androgynous is a nice little LBQT+ piano ballad. Ooh, also got some rock/glam sounds on Black Diamond. Sixteen Blue is almost like Springsteen. This band is very versatile and executes all this perfectly! Best track - We're Coming Out (very punky), Androgynous, Black Diamond Post-note - Black Diamond is a cover of Kiss, so I'll disregard it for best track even though it is very good Gotta be a 4 star album, maybe even 5 stars, yeah call it 5

Such an important record for the 80’s alt guitar movement. Filled with noisy crappy and occasionally gorgeous and rocking tunes, it was as good as guitar music got in its day.

Hey, where's Tommy? Someone find Tommy We're out on the road Moving equipment Where's the equipment? Soon we're going home Then we'll have a party (then) Then we'll have a party (then) Then we'll have a party (then) Rock and rollin' 'til the break of dawn (Rock'n'rollin' 'til the break of dawn)

Never heard this album before, but it was pretty awesome. standout songs: I Will Dare Tommy Gets his Tonsils Out Answering Machine

Auch zu diesem Album finde ich nicht wirklich Zugang.

i enjoyed actually!

Very cool. Probably the first album on this list that I LOVED that I've not heard before (333).

This album is a typical one from these days, I think, but these usually sound a bit outdated nowadays, so I feel like the songs were nice as a background listen, but properly listening to this would be a bit too much and nothing too exciting, apart from a couple of decent ones, but I would say a bit meh.

A couple of good songs bring this rating up, but I couldn’t really get into most of it

"Can you help me occupy my brain?" Listened to B4? Yes Tracks Already Saved on Spotify: 1 - Androgynous Standout Tracks: I Will Dare, Favorite Thing, We're Coming Out, Androgynous (84/100)

Ain't got time for this

One of the great rock groups of the 80’s. I've never bothered listening to a full album experience truthfully even living in Minnesota most of my life. Really good. Almost five starts in a way but I just have to sit with it more.

Rauer Indie-Rock mit Charme – „Let It Be“ mischt Punk-Spontanität mit Ansätzen von Tiefe. Einige Songs glänzen, andere stolpern. Kultig, aber nicht makellos.

I love The Replacements. This album is so fucking good. The range is incredible, the production excellently complements the vocals and instrumentation. Lyrics can be a little sparse, but ultimately accomplish everything they want to. I enjoyed this very much. 4/5

Interesting for about 4 and a half minutes. Then it gets silly and tiresome. Punk after punk was relevant. Great name for a band but the songs aren't there on this album to back it up. In the city by the jam ripped off at least 4 times on this album. Meh.

Top 101 for me. I Will Dare, Androgynous and Sixteen Blue are some of the best songs and songwriting. Period.

In theory I would have expected to like this, but I just didn't connect with it. I found it to be doing a lot of similar things with bands that were doing them better, like Nirvana, say. I found "Androgynous" to be so out dated it was hard to listen to and "Gary's Got a Boner" ???? What was that supposed to be. The one track I connected with was "Unsatisfied." But unfortunately it got buried in a bunch of songs that were either forgettable or annoying.

Ok I didn’t spend the most time on this album, I won’t lie. And I didn’t mind the songs that I heard. Most of the songs don’t sound much like an 80’s album to me, sounds a little more modern. I didn’t hate it! I enjoyed listening to it.. I just probably won’t be listening to it again

Dieses Album entstand zwischen August 1983 und Februar 1984 im Blackberry Way Studios in Minneapolis. Die Replacements stammen aus den USA und gelten als prägende Band des Alternative‑ und Indie‑Rock. Ihre Mischung aus roher Punk‑Energie und eingängigen Melodien findet sich deutlich auf Let It Be wieder. Bekannte Stücke wie „I Will Dare“ zeigen mit klarem Gitarrenriff und auflockerndem Jangle‑Sound den Wechsel vom Hardcore zu melodischeren Strukturen. „Unsatisfied“ reflektiert mit melancholischer Intensität persönliche Zweifel, und „Androgynous“ bringt überraschende Vielfalt durch Piano und sozialkritischen Text. Daneben stechen humorvoll-provokante Songs wie „Gary’s Got a Boner“ heraus, die die punkige Seite der Band nicht verleugnen. Das Album bewegt sich klar im alternativen Rock‑Spektrum, berührt aber auch College‑Rock und Post‑Punk – eine stilistische Bandbreite, die den Reiz ausmacht. Persönlich gefällt mir, wie sich die Band zwischen ungeschliffener Direktheit und empfindsamen Momenten bewegt, ohne ihre Ecken und Kanten zu verlieren. Insgesamt ist Let It Be ein solides, vielseitig gestaltetes Album mit Tiefgang und Energie – eine empfehlenswerte Station auf dem Laufweg der Band.

нормалек, но ничего себе не добавил.

This is why I am doing this program, to find music like this. I had never heard of them before but I absolutely adore this album Best Song: Unsatisfied Rating: 9/10 (Incredible) Stars: 5/5

Not bad. Not sure I concentrated hard enough for a better appraisal but I enjoyed having this on

I had never listened to them before and I liked it.

Let it Be is an album that captures the zeitgeist of its time perfectly. On its release this was an indie album that went mainstream in ways that nobody expected, especially, I think The Replacements. Although, they were obviously taking themselves more seriously than previous records some of the raw energy from their previous work remains, showing the listening that tighter does not mean overly produced. Overall, as a work that was important at the time and influential to what followed. It certainly deserves a place on this list. There were certainly more interesting records released at the same time, but that captured the attention of the public like “Let it Be” did. Another fun listen on this list from an important work. Underneath the theme of the angst of growing up in a world rapidly turning a little shittier, is a band who is clearly having fun themselves, which is almost always infectious to the listener. Surrounded by rock and roll releases increasingly influenced by pop and electronica, the Replacements reminded everyone that sometime unbridled energy is enough. It still holds up today as a good, if not great, piece of music.

I liked it more than I expected, but not my normal jam

Indy rock before it was called indy rock. Love it.

This one and Tim are my most played of their catalog although any one are great rock n roll staples.

Very good record.

This is very quintessential 80s college rock. It's very much a product of a certain time and environment. A handful emerged from that scene to become major bands, like R.E.M. But there were others like The Replacements who were loved by their early adult cult followings and college radio stations. I was only aware of this band before because They Might Be Giants (who opened for The Replacements in their very early days) wrote a song in tribute to them. Not that there aren't any good songs here. There's some decent indie rock here with elements of punk (most notably in a couple of songs that you definitely wouldn't play for your grandparents). I did find some filler here but there were still good tracks among them.

Nonstop grind. Cool but static.

Excellent. Full of bangers.

Good find

Liked the first song, kinda fizzled out after

Probably good just not for me

A stomping classic!!!!

Decent album - quite enjoyed 6/10

okay, I didn't like it but I saw so many good reviews I started to listen to it again. First song was okay, but it went downhill fast. It's a no for me.

Very nice, right in my wheelhouse.I love gruff vocals, guitar focused rock with a dissatisfied vibe. It has that "punk" feel, probably at the core of every track, making every track feel honest although obviously some were "tongue in cheek". "Unsatisfied" is a standout, but if I'm honest the one that had me turning up the volume every time was the cover of "Black Diamond". I love covers that do something different than the original.

First time hearing a really good album.

Replacements for what? The Ramones? No, definitely not my thing.

I don't understand how rock survived with rubbish like this

no cynical bone in this albums body. clears the beatles version tenfold

Pleasantly surprised by this album. Feels like quintessential 80s teen garage rock. Some really solid hidden gems, enjoyable hits and a few weirder throw-ins. All around good. Top tracks: Androgynous, Black Diamond, Unsatisfied

Ehhh this album is alright, I feel there’s a lot of energy and noise, but something about these songs feels very shallow to me. I don’t think a lot is being said. Given the punk nature of the album I feel I should enjoy it but it just feels like another performative record from the 80s that has all the bells and whistles but lacks depth. Few decent tracks but not loving it overall Fav tracks - I Will Dare - Worst tracks - Unsatisfied (the singing sounds like Puddle of Muds cover of about a girl) - Answering machine -

Need a few more listens but enjoyed it

not a fan of all songs but a few real bangers on here. I will daaaaaare!

It's alright, not really My taste but It sounded nice

Enjoyed the lyrics on this one. “Androgynous” was the highlight.

really great portrayal of youthful angst. would be massive in the development of alt n indie rock as rejections of the glitzy mainstream rock of the 80s. especially 1984, a year known for being perhaps the biggest year of pop music ever. Seen Your Video is an explicit rejection of MTV culture. it's nice and rough and gay and *real*. deserves to be one of the 1001? yes

Complex melodic tunes. Kind of has that Green Day vibe. The lyrics are surprisingly deep (or at least the topics are).

It's clear to see how influential this album has become in light of the explosion of grunge and post-punk. The bands carefree attitude is starkly contrasted by their attention to greater social and personal issues or isolation. A fantastic underground record, 8/10

carini

I enjoy the punkier sounds of this more than the folk-rock-esque sections. Knowing nothing about this group coming in this was surprisingly good.

Surprisingly good. Brings me back to those adventurous bands like dead milkmen, minutemen, firehose, violent femmes. Raw reckless and passionate.

Great rock’n’roll band. Too bad chart success evaded them due to bad decisions on their part. Enjoyed this quite a bit.

Pretty good

Favorite songs: Black Diamond, Unsatisfied, We're Comin' Out, I Will Dare Least favorite songs: Gary's Got a Boner 4/5

Liked it

oh well, ive tried the replacements. a bit too raw.

Can’t stand the singer, and the unpolished production. Not sure why this is defined as “alternative”.

words i never want to hear a male rock singer from the 80s say in any context, ranked: -fifteen -sixteen -seventeen

Perhaps the greatest example of a band in transition, and they laid it out directly on the record. The Replacements were firmly punk rock, as the early tracks on this album showed, but it was clear Westerberg and crew were already headed down a new path, far more influenced by Big Star than Black Flag. That said, even though there’s some pop-punk perfection and emotionally gutting tunes, it’s still fairly uneven and missing the focus that some of their later work had. That doesn’t mean it still doesn’t hold up as a killer rock record. Well worth the listen.

Always 5 stars for The Replacements. Fun and earnest. Bless their hearts!

I don't know if I've listened to this all in one sitting before. I have "I Will Dare" on 7" but I don't know if other songs stand out by title. Some of this gets too classic rock for me. Even though i really like a lot of Replacement songs (and there is a number of songs I on here), it's hard for me to get through the whole of this album.

bleh

Easily forgettable

This album? Five stars, easily. Let It Be is an absolute legendary, must-have album from the 80s. Seriously, if you don't have this one, you're missing out. It sounds fantastic on vinyl. So, do yourself a favor: grab the wax, put it on the turntable, sit back, close your eyes, and just let it take you back. This record is pure awesome, a real classic that takes you right back to the days of of chilling with friends. Not thinking about what it would be like 41 years later.

better than anticipated

For the time, it’s a pretty innovative album. Not a super big fan though, but wouldn’t skip it if it came on the radio.

I got Spotify ad so I didn’t really listen to just this album, but they passed the vibe check as white men

I can't lie, I didn't not like it... Will definitely give it a second listen, could tell it was a US punk rock outfit.

angsty and gay fuck yeah

Paul Westerberg, at the start of an actual songwriting career – that is writing songs rather than riffs – is messy. Paul Westerberg at the height of his songwriting career is messy. I haven't heard anything he's done lately, but I bet it's messy too. None of my favourite Replacements songs are on here. Neither are the catchiest. But it is joyful, reckless, open-minded and messy, much like the life stage it successfully describes. Honestly, I prefer my college rock to have more mystery than messiness, but it would be churlish to disregard the Replacements – it's sincere, it's spontaneous, and it's sloppy. Westerberg becomes more of a craftsman later, but the satisfying ending to Androgenous could never be achieved with craft. 3 This Replacements album is good but it is much cooler than it is good, which makes me quite suspicious of it. There’s a lot of being bored and not caring on this album.  ‘I don’t care’ (I Will Dare)  ‘I don’t give a single shit’ (Favorite Thing) ‘Let's get this over with, I tee off in a hour’ (Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out)  ‘We don’t wanna know’ (Seen Your Video) We are also invited to grasp how little The Replacements care in the ‘live-feel’, complete with a tinny, cheap-sounding delay on the vocal and noisy, random breakdowns and in the grab-baggery of the shifting tempos, genres, instrumentation etc. Oh look - an old piano; why don’t I just do something bouncy and sweet? Um…I dunno let’s do a Kiss cover next or whatever. Dare we listen to Unsatisfied and believe that it was the result of more than a single take of genuine, visceral unsatisfaction after which the producer said ‘So are you happy with that take?’ and Paul Westerberg shrugged?  Audibly not-caring has been cool as hell in rock music ever since Bob Dylan stopped trying to sing and started not-really-singing about women that he didn’t care about, in place of political causes that he seemed to. There have been many genuine not-carers since then but I’m not sure that The Replacements are among them. The not-caring here is so multifaceted, so plainly thoughtful, that it comes across as interested. Even the title ‘Let It Be’ is more than just a form of words to not-care by; they picked the title of the last Beatles album because they wanted to show that they didn’t care that the Beatles had it first. Clever squares.  3.5/5

top songs: i will dare, seen your video, temptation eyes, answering machine, black diamond, unsatisfied, androgynous

a pleasant and calm listening

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a perftect 10 album IMO. Happy to see it here.

Ah, one of the greatest “should have been bigger than they were” bands of all time. The Replacements were tremendous. Let It Be, in my opinion the album when they first became a great band, is a clinic in what rock music can be at its best. Messy, emotional, creative, raw. It’s a vibe fueled by (too much) alcohol and a longing for finding that something in the void. I’ve been a fan of this band for several years even thought they broke up when I was a kid, long before I knew about them. While I personally think Pleased To Meet Me is their Magnum Opus, Let It Be is the perfect blend of where they were headed and the raw energy of their earlier work. I Will Dare is a fantastic opener. Androgynous is a weird little song that gives spotlight to a human sub culture that was especially taboo at the time. Unsatisfied is Westerberg (one of rock’s best frontman and songwriters) as his very best. This listen highlighted the song Seen Your Video for me. What a fantastic and unconventional song that one is. It sounds like it would have fit in well on Nevermind. It ends with what is in my opinion one of the all time great album closers: Answering Machine. It’s as emotionally and sonically raw songs as you’ll hear from the 80’s. The Mats were ahead of their time, and Let It Be would have probably been a bigger hit if it came out ten years later. Listen to this album, Tim, and Pleased To Meet Me back to back for one of the best three album runs in music history.

ok not really my bag. A bit forgettable could have been better but seemed lazy

I liked this a lot. It feels fresh despite being 40 years old

Will need to listen to again, I really appreciated some of the more punk tracks.

I think part of the reason this album has such enduring appeal, beyond it's tightrope walk of angst, agita, and humor, is that it represents a moment we've all had - but not all capitalized on - in life. A moment where a talented but habitually slacker-ish band finally put it all together and made something truly masterful. And not as a fluke; the albums that follow this are every bit as masterful in ways that, say Hootenanny did note foretell. We've all been that person, not living up to our potential, shooting ourselves in the foot, tripping ourselves up at critical junctures in our lives. But in Let It Be, there's the moment we all aspire to, where we absolutely fuckin' nail it.

How can you not give a five to a band of poets, nay, artistes, who balanced the poetry and beauty of trying to capture everything from nonbinary identity to adolescent heartbreak in 33 rambunctious yet beautiful minutes alongside a song about getting a hard-on?

Some whiny angry man rock, some okay

Pretty good

I felt some teenager vibes It sounds fun and cool, kinda liked it... and by the end, I realized I loved it. This 5/5.

I’ve not heard of the Replacements before listening to this album, but Apple Music told me that this was their third album with a more mature approach. However, the songs mostly deal with teen angst and one of them has the marvellous title of Gary Got a Boner. Good natured punk fun!

Definitely more punk than post-punk, whatever is said on them. But it's good punk, so I'm not gonna complain.

Usa:s motsvarighet till Eddie Meduza? Försöker de vara komiker så är de inte särskilt roliga. När de blir pretentiösa blir det pinsamt. Plus för variationen; rock, punk och rockabilly. Emellanåt en fin desperation i sången. Är det ett medvetet val att spela in skivan i en kakburk? Bästa spår; sixteen blue, Seen your video.

Too much of the same sound.

Couldnt enjoy this. Not for me.

#597. Pretty unimpressive British punk. 2/5: meh.

Sounded like an album that would be playing at the record store while I looked through the selection. 3 stars

When I find myself in times of trouble ... I crank The Replacements.

Not my favorite kind of music. Some songs were ok, a couple I liked, some I didn’t like.

One of the ‘Mats best albums and one of the best albums of the Eighties, period. Playing it takes me right back to high school and maxing out the tape in my Beetle. Raw as hell and fucking funny. And “Androgynous” follows “Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out”. What band can put two together like that?

"I Will Dare" and "Androgynous" are two of the best pop songs written by any band, ever. Extra points for covering Kiss "Black Diamond".

These guys feel like Replacements. The music, sound, and overall vibe are really good, but they don't inspire great investment. Still, you kind of think that if they grew up a little, polished up their writing, they might be great.

Fun sound, but it didn’t really stand out to me in the world of punk/rock. Favourite song: Sixteen Blue

Good, for the most part

I generally am a big fan of post-punk and punk music but I didn't really like this one. Please give me something by the Cure or the Clash next!!!!

Firmly middling 2.5 stars

The one that made The Replacements into alt-rock royalty. Thanks in part to their growing disinterest in writing another punk album, as well as their rivalry with fellow Minneapolis band, Hüsker Dü, pushes the band to do something more melodic and lyrically mature. And they mostly succeeded! Songs like "We're Coming Out" and "Gary's Got a Boner" proved they still had an edge, but "Unsatisfied" and "Answering Machine" showed that The 'Mats had some emotional depth, and "Androgynous" is a landmark song in that no one was talking about gender identity or queerness as the time, especially in a song so accepting. While this album does a lot of good, you can tell this is the first step towards something bigger (their next album, Tim, is my favorite by far) and some choices ("Black Diamond" in particular) seem misguided or emblematic of the band's tendency toward audience antagonism and self-sabotage. Regardless, an excellent record that absolutely deserves to be here.

Let’s go

Nearly three months ago I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota and I told myself I would finally listen to this album. I finally got around to it and it is just as good as people were saying. It’s dirty, messy, funny, and it rocks hard. Something so very captivating about a song about a guy with a boner.

Didn’t hate it. Didn’t love it. Pretty decent stuff

Great album— unsatisfied is a top tier track and the others are great too (seen your video anyone?). Incredible garage rock that shaped the mould of tons of imitations I listened to in college. This is the original and its impact is lessened not one bit by its cultural impact and created cliches

Probably would benefit from a relisten but didn’t really jump out at me

Lekker toegankelijke, maar met vlagen toch ouderwetse punk. Met tussendoor ook nog wat niet-punk liedjes. De échte punkers zullen er ongetwijfeld op spugen, maar ik ben geen echte punker en ik vind dat eigenlijk wel plezierig. Een klein beetje Nirvana hoor ik er ook wel in op de één of andere manier. Ik mis bij mezelf net een stukje emotie om hier een 5 voor te geven, maar een dikke 4 verdient het zeker.

Very disjointed. A lot of styles that change without rhyme or reason. None of it's bad but only a couple songs really stood out to me

Tämähän on tällaista punkkariem AOR:ää. Soundi paikoitellen jopa aika Perl Jam oudolla tapaa. Mä ihan tykkään kyllä! En oikein osaa valita riittääkö nelosen asti 3:5

Mutta tässäpä onkin nelosen arvoinen rock-levy! Sopivasti pop ilman liikoja kompromisseja ja hyvä meno läpi platan.

a rowdy goofy album for teenage boys only

I feel like the vocals on this album felt really muted? I wish they were more prominent because I couldn't focus on much else.

Not my vibe

A long, long time ago I was at a high school party (I was in high school at the time, not one of those Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused type of creeps). This cute girl sidled up next to me at the bonfire and struck up a conversation. At some point she asked me if I liked the replacements. I had never listened to them but I, of course, said I was. She excitedly said "No way! what's your favorite song!?" Should have seen that one coming. What could I say? I didn't even know what kind of music they played. So what did I do? Abruptly excused myself and found a classmate at the party that was in a band, assuming that he had much better taste in music than I did. "Luke, do you like the replacements?" I said, apropos of nothing. "I do." He replied, sagely. "What's' your favorite song?" "Gary's got a boner." Now.. I desperately wanted to continue my conversation with this girl. We were totally vibing and I had to go and ruin it with my lies. And now I couldn't even get back on track because I wasn't sure if Luke was fucking with me. This was the early 90s and there was no way too fact-check whether or not "Gary's got a boner" was a real song. Long story short- I never saw that girl again and I haven't thought about that interaction until I pulled up this album and and saw track 9 - Gary's got a boner.

was ok, bit forgettable.

I quite liked this.

Day487 - the replacements were confident enough to name their album let it be and cool enough to make it awesome

I Will Dare, Androgynous, Unsatisfied, Seen Your Video, Answering Machine

A pretty solid punk album. Perfectly fine for what it is. High 3.

Either this album is so familiar to me, or this is the second time it’s been suggested. Overall, I like this album. I don’t love it, so it’s a solid 3 for me

Overall decent album, but a lot of mixed personality. Does it want to be pop/punk/metal/grunge? I’d listen again tho

I liked this album . They had some cool songs.

Gantsstic album. Takes balls to me your album Let It Be post Beatles. Badass band

Fun listen. Will listen again

I’ve definitely been missing out by not listening to this album over the years. The roots of alt rock taking hold here. Minnesota is underrated for the musicians that come out of there

Fucking amazing album! First time listening to The Replacements. Not sure I’ve heard anything like it before. New fan here. 🖐️

4.1 - I'm gonna need to revisit this, felt like a bit of me and never heard of them before

Androgynous is such a green flag for The Replacements. The fact that such a genuine caring ballad about gender identity comes after the rabid punky energy of We're Comin' Out and Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out is a testament to their versatility and a compliment to their ideology. Then there is Unsatisfied, which is somewhere between my 14th and 78th favourite song of all time. So much angst. This is the best album called Let It Be, don't @ me. Fave Tracks: I Will Dare, Androgynous, Unsatisfied, Seen Your Video 4/5

Decent but not great rock/alt. Nothing super unique or outstanding

One terrible punk song and a bunch of not horrible. The last couple of songs removed me of Nirvana (particularly the singing style), which I found interesting.

Wasn't sure where this was going for the first couple of tracks, it didn't seem to have any particular direction.. however.. that first few songs aside I think it found itself and became a pretty decent listen.

Great punk album. Not quite in the sub zone of what I'm into and a bit hard to be fair to it after listening to The Minutemen as yesterday's album. I'm going to hit the three star but it may deserve better.

Adore this album. Also just happens to have my favorite Replacements song on it - "Unsatisfied", which features Westerberg's passionate delivery and gravelly wails...almost to the point of losing his voice altogether. The entire record is a mix of punk & pop hooks, melding into an alternative rock sound that definitely feels ahead of it's time for 1984.

Pretty good and definitely better than a lot of the post punk stuff on the list. However, I still find it a bit forgettable outside of Unsatisfied, which is a great song.

Once upon a time this used ot be my least favourite Replacements albums, but I'm older now, and know better. Ahead of its time on androgynous and still as epically teenage pop brilliant as onlt Answering machine can be

I tought it was going to be the beatles one, the first track is the best of the bunch. 4/10

Concise and fun.

Not bad but not something I’d turn on.

I've never listened to The Replacements before. There is a lot of variety to this album, something you don't get from most punk albums. Some songs have more of a hard rock or metal influence, while others are more distinctly punk. All around, it is a well-balanced album that doesn't overstay its welcome.

I like hearing the bridge between punk and what would become alternative. This album seems to be one men in their 50s would like because it's from their youth.

Fav: Unsatisfied Least Fav: Answering Machine Fair play to making a song about having a boner sound so damn good

I love this band and this is a great album but I think Tim is their best album. Sixteen Blue, Androgynous, and Unsatisfied are my favorite tracks

I'm rather fond - punk and losery while also sounding pleasant

Helt ok sound, några låtar som ändå var rätt najs. Inget märkvärdigt men definitivt en trevlig genomlyssning.

Helt okej

Jorå! Pretty good! Korta låtar :okhand:

“I will dare” didn’t do much for me. It sounded like The Clarks from Pittsburgh. “Favorite Thing is a great track. This band gets talked about a lot. I don’t know if I’ve ever listened before now. I was not expecting “Black Diamond” to be a cover of the KISS song. This is one of my favorite KISS songs and I’m not sure how I feel about this cover. Ok. The cover was alight. Not my favorite, but the spirit was there. “Unsatisfied” grabbed me from the start. Great tune. “Seen your video” is a fantastic instrumental. “answering machine” sounds like Kurt Cobain singing. At the end of this record I’m understanding their influence.

Decent, recognized a couple of songs we didn't expect to reliable indie.

No estuvo mal, pero ya me olvidé todo. Nota: 2.3

Decent riffs in here. Better than most of the albums getting recommended on this list. The bar is getting lower and lower each day.

Fun!

this album is so goated

Wasn't really my kinda music unfortunately :(

Dope punk stuff!

Another one I was pleasantly surprised by. Androgynous feels about 40 years ahead of its time politically, and Answering Machine is cleverly constructed. I was skeptical early, but this won me over by the end.

This was an enjoyable rock album overall. Answering Machine stuck out to me, because it made me wonder how many people are confused by what that even is at this point. Lol. Doubt I’ll go back to it, but I had fun with it.

Got two tracks in and didn't like it

I can see how this influenced a lot of music I like, and I enjoyed listening to it, but it left me a bit cold.

Solid punk album but also nice to the ears, 4* Beatle-esque in some tracks.

It's noisy and messy and raucous with a sense of controlled chaos, and I am here for every freaking minute of it!

Although it's not close to being as good as the Beatles' "Let it Be", it does have "Gary's Got a Boner"

Imagine a world where the list wasn't bloated with punk music like this.

Satisfied is an all time favorite of mine.

A really good post-punk album. It feels timeless.

Not bad but not heard of them before.

Album no. 1001 and the surprise is, there's still more to come. At the moment I have a love/hate relationship with this list, so another 100 albums to go causes some mixed feelings in me. They are exacerbated by records like Let It Be - a random and uninteresting punk album with no punk features in it. Atypical and boring - you can describe a lot of records here this way. Well, I guess I'll just have to push it through.

Lively and solid album. Punky sound. Some silly songs. 3 side of 3.5.

A nice pop/punk rock album

This wasn't bad.

I liked this - it’s now my second favourite album called Let It Be.

😮‍💨

Я слушал этот альбом в своей музыкальной молодости после того, как какое-то солидное издание назвали его "величайшим музыкальным альбомом". В тот момент я не понял нихуя, не воспринял ни одной песни и жил себе с уверенностью, что я просто не секу, и это я хуевый, и так далее, но вот мы здесь, и я до сих пор не вижу, в чем величие этого альбома. Это хороший, добротный альбом с приличными песнями, который хорошо течет, и делает все эти альтернатив рок вещи где-то на пять-десять лет раньше всего света, но как бы... Лучшая песня - Favorite Thing.

It was ok.

2.5ish

Classic.
