I can't really put into words exactly what the replacements mean to me, but looking back, they were my youth. I was lucky enough to see them live twice and they were pretty much the best band on earth for years when they first started out. They knew how to have fun and they especially knew how to rock the fuck out. This is their first album and this deluxe edition has a buttload of cool stuff from when they were basically a garage band. ESSENTIAL. And oh yeah... I'm gonna be helping out here posting some of my non-metal favorites because I already have my own metal blog but I know plenty of other stuff, so.... let's GIT ER DONE!!! or whatever they say in Weeziana

  5. Great stuff. Most of the time they were pretty good live as long as they weren't too drunk. Always entertaining though.
