About this album
By their fifth studio album, The Replacements had cemented themselves as punk icons and decided to mix it up a bit. They sound like they’re having as much fun as ever with the handclapping doo-wop of “Alex Chilton” and the tight horns and strings of “Can’t Hardly Wait.” A streak of jazz enters the sound palette with “Nightclub Jitters,” awash in smoky bass, languorous hi-hat, and sultry piano. And the sparse, acoustic “Skyway,” one of the band’s most beautiful efforts, highlights Paul Westerberg’s vocal prowess.
