539. Let It Be

Let It Be
The Replacements
1984














Tracks
1. I Will Dare 
2. Favorite Thing
3. We're Comin' Out 
4. Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out 
5. Androgynous 
6. Black Diamond 
7. Unsatisfied 
8. Seen Your Video
9. Gary's Got a Boner 
10. Sixteen Blue 
11. Answering Machine


Well, that was a mixed bag. Predictably, I did not find the song "Gary's Got a Boner" to be particularly enjoyable. But other tracks, such as "I Will Dare" really blew me away, and I was surprised that I hadn't heard it before.

Still, the unevenness of this album prevents it from ever being a favorite. I would only recommend "Androgynous," "I Will Dare," and "Black Diamond." Everything else is skippable.

Apologies for the short review, but I am trying to catch up on quite a few writing assignments today. Next up, The Style Council! Uh oh.


RATING: 4/5
