Hit: 5 Stars
Back around 2006 I had just heard of The Replacements and thought I would check them out, but honestly didn't like them at all. But I kept hearing how they were one of the best bands of the 80s so I thought maybe I was missing something, and I was. I had liked that song "Can't Hardly Wait" but didn't get it any of the rest of it at all.
When I first heard Let It Be I showed it to a friend and he thought it was pure garbage, at the time I agreed with him. Fast forward to 2008 when I heard "Don't Ask Why" on Sorry Ma and began doubting my original judgment. I bought The Replacements biography "All Over But The Shouting" which was great, bought Stink, Hootenanny, Tim but still hadn't listened to Let It Be for a few years. Which brings me to today.
This album is amazing and you have to get it. Here is music as aggressive as any song on Sorry Ma ("We're Coming Out", "Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out"), a Kiss song ("Black Diamond"), a classic ("Answering Machine"), and brilliant quieter songs ("Sixteen Blue", "Androgynous", "Unsatisfied"). Before I said that Sorry Ma deserved 11/10 and Let It Be only deserved 3/10, now I realize how ridiculous that was. This is without a doubt one of the greatest 80s albums, a 12/10. I get it now, and you should too.
Let It Be Poster
Remastered reissue of their 'five-star' 1984 album. RestlessRecords. 2002.On their first releases, even amid all the smirking irreverence, the Replacements seemed to have more ambition than other post-punkers, but it wasn't until Let It Be that they actually realized it. There's still plenty of smirking here--"Seen Your Video" is a great snotty taunt--but there's also smartly-crafted pop like "I Will Dare" and not-quite-love songs like "Answering Machine," not to mention a rocking cover of uncool Kiss that's played perfectly straight. This is classic, all-over-the-board indie rock, especially the angst-ridden empathy of "Sixteen Blue," where Paul Westerberg, all of 23, remembers just how it is to be a teenager. --David Cantwell
