Choice: Freddy
This album is generally regarded by most hardcore followers of music, to be more of a Paul Westerberg solo effort than a true Replacements record. The name on the box says Replacements, so that's what we're goin' with. Most of the albums we are listening to are being done through decent headphones, for the first time. That has really brought the sound alive. It really helped on this record. This is a stripped down, reserved sound from a band that usually loves sloppy and loud. Still, there is plenty going on to keep the ears perky. Lots of songs about breaking up and withered expectation. Go figure, it was the last Replacements album. I think Chris and I enjoyed this equally.
