    The Replacements had their moment on the Billboard chart although they are so over rated they belong in the 1980's and not the 1990's. The Replacements probably don't deserve the same success as Paul McCartney, Jerry Garcia, or Bono, and others, like this is so insipid the music industry would be better as a Pink Floyd cover band.

The Replacements probably don't deserve the same success as Paul McCartney, Jerry Garcia, or Bono, and others, like this is so insipid the music industry would be better as a Pink Floyd cover band. The Replacements are such head cases they never quite succeed at pulling back from their 1980's megalomania, even when the record charts had moved on.
    The Replacements legacy should be doubted as another me-too 1980's band.    … Expand

    A legendary liquor-soaked session with Tom Waits, two discs containing a ragged-but-right contemporary concert, and a booklet that takes an in-depth look at the making of DTAS crackle and pop, but in revisiting its creators' original intent, a formerly sneered at LP becomes essential.

    The biggest draw is the plethora of out-takes and demos. ... A 15-song love set show The Replacements at their ramshackle, off-kilter power pop best. [Oct 2019, p.96]

    The complete “Inconcerated” alone is worth the price of admission. Five of the 29 tracks appeared on a promo CD of that name at the time, and it was worth staying alive for an additional 30 years just to find out that the rest of the show was as grandly played and recorded. ... Chances are that the “Wallace mix” will be the version you put on in the future — although, truth be told, there are some elements of the Lord-Alge mix that work and might even be preferable, maligned as it is.
