Vinyl LP!
The 1987 album, Pleased to Meet Me, was the group's fifth studio album. The album was the only album from the group as a trio, following the departure of guitarist Bob Stinson. Music on the critically acclaimed album shows the group venturing into a different course to include influences of soul and cocktail jazz alongside tracks featuring their customary hard rock sound.
The Replacements initially formed in 1979. The wild bunch quickly became notorious for their drunken, chaotic gigs. After they built up a sizable local following, the Minneapolis label Twin/Tone signed them. Critics and fellow musicians were quick to praise the band, and they developed a large underground following.
The Replacements are considered a pioneer of alternative rock. Unlike many of their underground contemporaries, the group played "heart-on-the-sleeve" rock songs that combined Westerberg's "raw-throated adolescent howl" with self-deprecating lyrics. Notoriously a wayward live act, they often performed under the influence of alcohol and played fragments of covers instead of their own material.
