    For $15, I would ask an artist to provide me with more than a demo-quality CD. However, the demo has some great songs! Thanks , Paul.

  1. Just as the busking, basement-tapes balladry of Stereo feels wan and undercooked, the rough-and-ready rock of Mono brims with the thoughtfulness and soulful energy of Westerberg's 1993 solo debut, 14 Songs, and his ever-influential Replacements catalog.

    A record that grows on you slowly but surely. [May 2002, p.104]
  3. The reason to get excited about this release, the reason to wake the kids and call the neighbors, is the second disc, Mono.
