A stunning album, the Replacements's best IMHO. "I Will Dare", "Androgynous", "Unsatisfied", and "Answering Machine" especially find Paul Westerberg coming into his voice as the best songwriter of the 80s, and the songs balance the band's raw, brash ROCK sound against his sad, plaintive lyrics (okay...maybe not on "Gary's Got A Boner"). The album makes you feel good about feeling bad, wanting more, wanting anything that will break the tedium...or wanting to share it with somebody else.
