I don't think it's a spotless album like Red Roses For Me or If I Should Fall From Grace With God either, but it's still an album I'd recommend to absolutely anyone. The Gentleman Soldier's the only song I feel holRAB the album back that little bit.
REM are great and all but The Replacements are great and one of those "messy, raw energy" banRAB that I can truly appreciate. IMO this was the real great Minneapolis alt rock band, Husker who?
