5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa!, April 2, 2002

This review is from: Mono (Limited Edition Package) (Audio CD)

I love the Replacements, but like most fans, haven't been fully satisfied with Paul Westerberg's solo work. One thing I can say about it, though, is that whenever he puts out an album, there's always at least one or two songs on it that are the best that I've heard in the past couple of years. Anyway, this album is a stunner. I never thought I'd hear anything out of him that was as consistent as the Mono album. It'll definitely be a great summer album. It was warm last weekend, and I was driving around town with the windows down, and Mono cranked up high. Every song rocks, and it's clear that Paul does better when he's got a solid band with him, especially with Tommy Stinson playing bass and singing those gawdawful, but wonderful harmonies that I haven't heard in too long of a time. The music reminds me of the more rockin' songs on PTMM and All Shook Down (which I listen to all the time).

5.0 out of 5 stars Bob Stinson is looking down and smiling, March 8, 2007

This is Paul doing what he used to do a long time ago, ROCK! I defy a longtime Mats fan to listen to this album and not make comparisons to earlier Mats albums. The lyrics deal with Mats themes such as alienation and despair. Moreover, there are plenty of great hooks. If this album had been released after Please To Meet Me, I would have remained a Mats fan. If I had my way, Paul would be Grandpa Boy 100% of the time. I love this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to the Replacements Sound, September 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mono (Limited Edition Package) (Audio CD)

Paul has turned back more to the Replacement's style on this cd and its noticeable immediately. He skips the drunken, 'howling into the mike' tunes and as a result has put out a more 'grown up' release. The last song, 'AAA' sounds as though it could be a song off one of the mat's later albums, a sound that Paul has admitted to trying to ressurect on this cd. Speaking from a die hard Replacements fan's point of view, this is the first of Paul's solo releases that I'd insist you buy.
