"essential summation" (5 stars) -- Rolling Stone
"...they were synchronized in the spirit of the Clash and the Stones." (5 stars) -- Blender
"...few approached their soul." (A-) -- Entertainment Weekly
"[Westerberg] was like an indie-rock Springsteen, relentlessly chronicling adolescence and early adulthood." (8.8) -- Pitchfork
Led by ace singer-songwriter Paul Westerberg, ragged Minneapolis rockers The Replacements are arguably the most iconic band of the 1980s underground. Over the course of seven studio albums and some pretty outta-hand live shows, they charted an evolution from sloppy, booze-fueled garage rock to some of the most emotionally engaging booze-fueled garage rock in a generation.
This single-disc set is the first-ever collection to represent both the band's Twin/Tone and Sire/Reprise eras. It gathers signature 20 tracks, including two brand new songs recorded in Minneapolis over Christmas 2005: "Message To The Boys" and "Pool & Dive."
