The Replacements – Tim

Only 1 left in stock

$45.00

“These songs are Westerberg at his confessional peak, but instead of undercutting this ragged emotion or hiding it away, as he did on the Twin/Tone albums, he pairs it with the exuberance of “Kiss Me on the Bus” — an adolescent cousin to “I Will Dare” — and channels his smart-ass comments into the terrifically cynical rockabilly shuffle “Waitress in the Sky.” All this eats up so much oxygen that there’s not much air left for any of the recklessness of the Twin/Tone LPs: there’s no stumbling, no throwaway jokes, with even the twin rave-ups of “Dose of Thunder” and “Lay It Down Clown” straightened out, no matter how much Bob Stinson might try to pull them apart, which is perhaps the greatest indication that the Replacements were no longer the band they were just a couple years ago. Some ‘Mats fans never got over this change, but something was gained in this loss: the Replacements turned into a deeper band on Tim, one that spoke, sometimes mumbled, to the hearts of losers and outcasts who lived their lives on the fringe. If Let It Be captured the spirit of the Replacements, then Tim captured their soul.” – allmusic.com
