#543 The Replacements - Let It Be

Seems like there has been an abundance of punk albums lately. This album is another in the genre, although it is the band's third album and came at a time when they were transitioning from punk to more of a alt-rock style, so it isn't as in your face as other punk albums. Over all I thought it was just ok. It was about what I expected out of a punk band, short songs with some strange lyrics and themes like Tommy got his tonsils out or Gary's got a boner. I was please that they did a cover of a KISS tune though, it ended up being the highlight of the album.

"Black Diamond"

The original. Man I gotta see these guys in concert.
