{"product_id":"replacements-let-it-be-lp","title":"Replacements - Let It Be (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Replacements were one of America's greatest bands of the 80s, irrespective of genre, though during their lifetime they received thin acknowledgement from anyone but informed critics. LET IT BE demonstrates the unique hybrid of sloppy punk attitude and classic rock sensibilities that drove fans to devotion and critics to supplication. It was 1984, and the Replacements were poised to erupt from the Minneapolis punk scene onto the national stage. Paul Westerberg's songs lose all timidity as he tackles subjects like failure, confusion, and despair with a lyrical directness and a voice capable of ravaged emotion, unbridled fury, and effecting vulnerability. \"I Will Dare\" addresses an aging loser's complexes, while the tender ballad \"Androgynous\" chronicles a punk-rock love affair. \"Unsatisfied\"--perhaps Westerberg's best song--is a sweeping contemplation of shattered dreams. Profundity aside, there is also a huge sense of fun about LET IT BE, with throwaway material like \"Gary's Got A Boner\" and their cover of Kiss's \"Black Diamond\" foregrounding the quartet's signature drunken levity amid the angst. The Mats' finest hour, LET IT BE is easily on the shortlist for best albums of the '80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Replacements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paul Westerberg (vocals, guitar, lap steel, mandolin, piano, percussion); Bob Stinson (guitar); Tommy Stinson (bass, background vocals); Chris Mars (drums, maracas).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock, Punk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 I Will Dare 3:11\u003cbr\u003eA2 Favorite Thing 2:17\u003cbr\u003eA3 We're Comin' Out 2:20\u003cbr\u003eA4 Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out 1:51\u003cbr\u003eA5 Androgynous 3:14\u003cbr\u003eA6 Black Diamond 2:36\u003cbr\u003eB1 Unsatisfied 3:59\u003cbr\u003eB2 Seen Your Video 3:05\u003cbr\u003eB3 Gary's Got A Boner 2:25\u003cbr\u003eB4 Sixteen Blue 4:21\u003cbr\u003eB5 Answering Machine 3:37\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097555874051,"sku":"KXDK6E-LPPM-00","price":25.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/replacements-let-it-be-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
