Vinyl LP!
The 7th, and final, studio album from the group was released in September of 1990. The album was originally intended to be a solo album from frontman Paul Westerberg. However, the album is marked by numerous session, side and journeyman-musicians, supplemented by bassist Tommy Stinson, guitarist Slim Dunlap, and drummer Chris Mars. The Velvet Underground's John Cale plays viola on "Sadly Beautiful". The acoustic rave-up "Attitude" is the only song featuring the entire band performing together.
The Replacements initially formed in 1979. The wild bunch quickly became notorious for their drunken, chaotic gigs. After they built up a sizable local following, the Minneapolis label Twin/Tone signed them. Critics and fellow musicians were quick to praise the band, and they developed a large underground following.
The Replacements are considered a pioneer of alternative rock. Unlike many of their underground contemporaries, the group played "heart-on-the-sleeve" rock songs that combined Westerberg's "raw-throated adolescent howl" with self-deprecating lyrics. Notoriously a wayward live act, they often performed under the influence of alcohol and played fragments of covers instead of their own material.
