Product Description
Product Details
Performer Notes
  • The Replacements: Paul Westerberg (vocals, guitar, piano); Bob Stinson (guitar); Tommy Stinson (bass); Chris Mars (drums, background vocals).
  • Additional personnel: Alex Chilton (background vocals).
  • Recorded at Nicollet Studios, Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1985.
  • TIM, the Replacements' major-label debut, was the last album to feature the original Replacements lineup. A departure from the raw, punk-rock aesthetic that dominated their Twin/Tone releases, TIM demonstrated Paul Westerberg's gift for song craft with uptempo rock anthems ("Bastards Of Young" and "Left Of The Dial"), poignant ballads ("Here Comes A Regular") and clever lyricism ("Little Mascara"). Westerberg's gritty yet melodic vocals convey a sense of urgency that perfectly compliments the rough-hewn songs. This "maturing," tighter sound would be a hallmark of subsequent Replacements albums.
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "TIM caught a great American garage band stretching out, working Big Star pop and Fifties-style rock into a mix of punky abandon and regular-dude romanticism."

Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.128) - Ranked #136 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "[A] crucial template for grunge, alternative country and, recently, the noisy introspection of emo."

Rolling Stone (5/25/00, p.76) - 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...Rangy, obstreperous, unsparing, funny and ever tuneful - turning post-adolescent confusion into some kind of screwed-up enlightenment."

Q (10/93, p.127) - 4 Stars - Excellent

Alternative Press (7/95, p.76) - Ranked #4 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...it's still just about impossible to put into words how great the Replacements were and how tremendous a record TIM is. Coming on the heels of possibly the greatest rock and roll album (LET IT BE) and preceding another classic (PLEASED TO MEET ME), TIM is the heart of an amazing trilogy..."

CMJ (1/5/04, p.18) - Ranked #15 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1986"

Mojo (Publisher) (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "1985's TIM is where Westerberg found his range, and consistently so..."
