Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out The Trash

The Replacements

Minneapolis garage rock is represented here by a debut that sounds like it was tracked in a basement while neighbors grumbled. The songs are loud and messy, capturing a level of youthful audacity that defines a great band.

These tracks established the path for the group's later work by prioritizing pure and unvarnished intensity. The recording is thin by design, allowing the songwriting to be heard without unnecessary studio shine.
