PopMatters Music Columns/Features Editor

With four albums for the independent Minneapolis label Twin/Tone, the 'Mats rendered the hierarchies and caste system of the rock world irrelevant by remaking rock 'n' roll as an anonymous force.

Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash RATING:

It’s Stinson, not Stinston.

“Effecting paradigm shifts became something of a working aesthetic for the Replacements’ music as well.”

*yawn*...opportunity slams shut. this type of secondary school-academia grinds the ‘mats legacy down to chalk dust...have you no shame?

better luck next time, pal
