5.0 out of 5 stars Kinda like hardcore, if hardcore was really good., May 19, 2004

The genre police may not find this genuine 'hardcore'. But I remember my reaction when I first started to hear 'hardcore' in the early 80s -- the Replacements had already been there and done that, but way better, on the 'Stink' EP.
One slow song, and a fistfull of loud fast funny anthems - how can you not own an album that contains a song called F--- School? My fave is "Gimme Noise" an attack on another Mpls band that jumped on the post-punk bandwagon. (The Suburbs)

I give you my jacket
You give me your glamor
Gimme that racket
Gimme that hammer

And then Bob Stinson rips into an undefinable self-destructing guitar break. You could say Stink is as much Bob's record as Paul's. Of all the Mats discs this one probably shows off Bob's gonzo playing the best. Which is a nice reminder that even though the songs are funny, this record isn't a joke.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Stinks!!, July 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Stink (Audio CD)

Thought that would catch your attention.

The second instalment from the greatest band in the world and it rocks big style. For me, this and the Huskers 'Metal Circus' are the two greatest ep's of them all.

'Stink' is 20 years old but it is timeless. Wouldn't be out of place nowadays, but hey that was the Replacements for you. Ahead of their time , but at the same time so right in time!

Show me a punk album that is 20 years old and still makes you want to take on the world.

It's brash, funny and swaggers like an alcoholic on payday!

Westerberg defined and called to arms a generation with 'Kid's Don't Follow', while 'Dope Smokin' Moron' and 'Goddamn Job' are as funny as they would get.

If you want punk straight in your face get this album, if not check out the charts!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pre Pop days, November 21, 2003

This album comes at you full force and doesnt relent. The early days of the greatest band. They're like an uncut diamond on this album. Not polished up for the masses but you see a little of whats beneath the grime on the surface.
