The Replacements were a Hardcore /Post Punk band that was most predominant during the 80's. What makes this band so good/interesting is the diversity of their songs, from slow ballads such as Androgynous (later covered by Joan Jett) to their power-pop cover of KISS's Black Diamond.
The album is also filled with post punk classics that are in the higher tempo vein such as Favorite Thing to the straight up hardcore punk style of We're Coming Out. This album has something for the entire family (not really).
Usually when a band tries to blend in so many styles it generally ends up being too overbearing and disjointed, but due to the amazing musicianship of this band they are able to pull off every style as though it's been there niche for years.
This is one of my most favourite older dig-ups of the past year, I really can't believe I had never listened to them before but then again I think the timing was right with this band.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
