Title: Solid Album from a Great Band
Product review: I've always wondered why people dislike this album. To me, it seems to be one of the Mats' finest efforts. Four of the songs are instant Mats classics ("Talent Show," "We'll Inherit the Earth," "Achin' to Be," and "Rock and Roll Ghost") and all of the other songs are very good. The production does sound a bit too 80s on some songs (i.e "Asking Lies"), but the songs are good enough to overcome any production flaws. The disc also happens to be The Replacements' most mature album. There are no songs like "Gary's Got a Boner," which is probably for the best. "Don't Tell a Soul" picks up where "Can't Hardly Wait" and "Skyway" left off, meaning that the album is more subdued than their previous efforts, yet the band can still rock, as evinced by the songs "Anywhere is Better Than Here" and "I Won't." If you like The Replacements, then buy this; if you don't like The Replacements, buy this album and see the light.
