One of the most controversial album mixdowns updated from 1985 to 2024. A pinnacle of indie rock and a deep introspective into balancing talent and lifestyle. With the passing of guitarist Slim Dunlap 2 days ago, The Replacements are still America’s band.
What an absolutely fantastic album this is. Not what most people think of as punk but still just a great performance all around with the typical 80s production sound
It's just like John Swartzwelder said:
"Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
